Selecting Copy Link and Unchecking "Allow Editing" Does Not Prevent Document Editing
I have built a Power Automate workflow on a list for sequential approval of an Excel document uploaded to a Document Library. The approvers receive an approval task with a link to the uploaded Excel,...
The links will add people that don't have access to the document based on the selected permissions for internal authenticated users. If those users already have access to the library / page for edit rights, the link will not have an effect on their permissions.
I'm going to assume that they have edit rights or something somewhere else in this case. If so, you will have to use PowerAutomate to remove permissions from the item and manually change permissions or make sure that they only have read access to items.
Do they have permission already to "add" to this list prior to approvals?

ChrisWebbTech - thanks for your response. I have also spoken with MS Support and they have confirmed that only folks with Read access will be unable to edit a shared document, even if Allowed Editing is unchecked - folks with Contribute access or higher will be able to edit.
