Sharing individual list items
Pretty sure something is broken here.
Need to share an individual list item to a tenancy user who has no access the list. It sends the email successfully, but the user get a access denied.
Strange because if it was a document library, then everything works perfectly.
Can anyone confirm this behaviour?
Mike Fairley It appears as of an update April 24th, 2019 that we can no longer share individual list items. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/share-a-list-item-in-sharepoint-c270ccaf-89a2-4f7e-874a-5da98824d449
- Lists do not have the same Sharing mechanism as a Document library. You cannot share a list item itself. You have to directly provide permission to a list Item then provide a link to the item. If your linking to the list then they will need limited access to the list etc. as well. I honestly don't recommend using lists in that manner because it can get messy fast.
Christopher - Are you sure? Here is a MS support article Share a list item in SharePoint Online Updated October 31, 2016.
- Interesting never really seen that there. It’s basixally just sending a link to the document thou you don’t get the anyone or in org options. I’m going to have to poke around on this tomorrow but specific people option just adds the permission to the list item directly and sends an email pretty much what I was saying it just does it for you. If it’s working that’s a different matter ;). What happens if you click the details on that item you shared and manage access on it?
- Is the document library in a modern SPO site?
The question is about a Custom List not a Document Library. And it is Modern Experience.
