Share document strange behaviour
Thanks jcgonzalezmartin,
Would be good to hear from others if they are using the same setup.
I'm sure others would have (maybe) a similar use case to limit members of a private group being able to share documents with others outside of that group.
Cheers
It does seem like a reasonable use case - and there is a reasonable answer (for now).
Microsoft has always said that if your collaboration needs can be met by the "everyone has the same access" model implemented by Groups, then Groups is a great platform for collaboration. You accept the strengths and limitations of that platform.
On the other hand, if you need specific access controls or the ability to customize things to the nth degree, then you should look to classic SharePoint Team sites, where you can set things up as you want (or buy a product that works on top of SPO).
Groups and SPO are getting closer and closer, but I imagine that there will always be some things you can do in SPO that won't be supported in the simpler-yet-more-powerful-in-parts model used by Groups.
FWIW - my 2 cents.
- Agree with this two cents :-)...by the way they are already working on changes in regards of permissions in SPO (I have seen this some weeks ago): http://sympmarc.com/2017/02/15/more-granular-permissions-for-office-365-groups-a-work-in-progress/
Yes, I have seen that before - and it's documented in Chapter 9 of "Office 365 for IT Pros"...
- Thanks all.
So in my case, is this expected behavior that a user can share a document even if the site collection has disabled this?
Cheers
