SharePoint Online Intranet - A new approach? What are your thoughts?
Hi,
all valid bullet points. No real out of the box solution in sight at the moment.
As for O365 Groups, I currently don't see a viable option to use O365 in a "one department to many sharing scenario" because of the lacking read only rights. Thats why I would use a subsite of the default root site collection for every department (easy for me with only a handful departments - quite hard for large corporations).
Office 365 groups................... actually, you can have read only rights in the group now.
-Create a modern team site but make it "public" (create it via the Sharepoint dashboard)....
-Go Into permissions for the teamsite (you need to wait a few minutes)
-You will see "Owners" and 2 Groups for edit permissions. One of those groups is "Everyone except External Users" which by default is set to edit. You can change that to "Read"...
This adds a couple new possibilities
-Owners can do anything/edit/modify/delete and everyone else can ONLY read
-Owners can do anything, public users can READ, and members can EDIT
I don't have the "modern site permissions" UI yet, but I gave this a try with old UI sometime ago and there was a major roadblock for this implementation:
Users that are not direct "Members" of an Office 365, but have read permissions through "Everyone, except external Users" don't see the Group in left pane on "outlook on the web" and other applications, which makes it very hard to access the content of the group, without navigating to the sharepoint part of it manually.
Is this still the case?
