SharePoint Site Pages Manage Access - Can View Option

Hello , 

 

I am trying to grant access to a user on a Site Page but I am having trouble with the type of the access. 

Until recently I have the option to set it either as "Can Edit" or "Can View". Now I can only see the "Can Edit" option(Screenshot 1). Note that the users I granted before access as "Can View" still have it.(Screenshot 2). Anything I can do to solve this ?  

 

Thank you in advance

    1. Open "Manage access" pop up like you opened previously.
    2. Click on ellipses (...) from top right corner and select "Advanced settings": 
    3. Make sure the site page is using unique permissions. If not, you will have to break the permissions inheritance by clicking "Stop Inheriting Permissions" like: 
    4. Then grant Read (Can View) permissions to user using "Grant Permissions" option like:

      ganeshsanap  Thank you so much that worked.I can see all the options from the advance settings. But for your information user was not Inheriting Permissions , it was actually on unique permissions (I took a screenshot before I make the changes). 

       

      Thank you again!
