Share to "People with existing access" breaks role inheritance
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!

ChrisWebbTech, it should be a direct URL (though it may have the parameters we use to direct users to the previewer, etc.). Thanks!

StephenRice Thanks for posting this information. Could you share more details, maybe a link to the roadmap?
As a SharePoint architect, this is a nightmare. I try to build an architecture around work teams to prevent breaking permission inheritance, but it breaks as soon as sharing occurs even between teammates.
Another related issue is to set the default sharing to "People with Existing Access". Is this also part of the update? The request has 280 votes on Uservoice.

Which roadmap feature are you looking for? If you are asking about the fix I mentioned above, that should already be complete (though if you are still seeing this happen, please let me know!).
As for the UserVoice item below, this is still something we are looking at and don't have any timelinese to offer. Thanks!

- Nice, I always wondered why this changed, that's how I used to get direct links to documents etc. Good to see it coming back to how it was!
