Share to "People with existing access" breaks role inheritance
Hi everyone, we figured out a behavior with sharing items/documents in SharePoint which from our point of view is a bug. Let us assume that the user "Jon Doe" is the owner of a SharePoint Sit...
Hi all,
The bad news is that this is unexpected. When sharing with a "People with existing access link", it should only send the user a canonical URL and it definitely shouldn't permission the user to the item.
The good news is that a fix is already rolling out and so this should go away shortly :)
Thanks!

I think the reason they did this now, because it used to actually work before where it would just give a direct link to the item, which I preferred myself. But the new "See who read your file" etc. in the hover card, pulls from the Link data I think. So they replaced it with links too.
I wish we had a way like we used to, to get the raw file location easy. Used to be able to just right click and copy link and get a link to a file. Now right click opens SharePoint menu, and copy link turns it to a sharing link. Need at least a "Copy Direct Link" option if anything. Then I could live with the sharing dialog how it's been changed.
