Link to Advanced permissions management disappeared from SharePoint Online Manage Access menu
- Nov 30, 2018
Yes there are other posts with this. Microsoft guy chimed in said it shouldn't be that way, so my guess is it's a bug. Targeted release tenants are getting this, so you can get it back if you go back to normal release, but you'll lose new shiny's. Kind of the trade off for targets release. If it's affecting you in a negative way I would suggest putting a request in so hopefully it gets looked at quicker if it gets reported.
Here is the other thread.

If it can help others...
I had the same behaviour.
On one site, I could sometimes see the Advanced link, and sometimes I could not.
For me, the Documents view was the default home page of that site.
In this case, when looking at the permissions, the "Advanced" link was not there.
In the same site, when clicking first on the "Documents" link on the left pane,
then looking at the permissions, the "Advanced" link was there.
I don't know if it is a bug or by design, but it took me a few hours to figure it out...
Now it works everytime. :o)
- Fred_HughesMay 26, 2022Copper ContributorThank you SO much. This also worked for me. I've been hammering away at this for a couple of hour.

Hi bhartisemwal1990,
Can you share more about what you are seeing? To my knowledge, there haven't been any changes to either the new Manage Access pane or the Advanced link within. Thanks!
