Sharing individual list items
I just tested out your scenario on mine and it works. Can you see if you have this site/site collection feature on?
Christopher - Are you sure? Here is a MS support article https://support.office.com/en-us/article/share-a-list-item-in-sharepoint-online-c270ccaf-89a2-4f7e-874a-5da98824d449Updated 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?
Hi again Christopher. Thanks very much for your time to look at this. I guess I have accepted that something is broken; just want to confirm that it's a MS problem and not something I'm missing.
List item before sharing...
Here is the sharing process using the SP Share button....
Everything you say is the same as what I experience. From the "sharer" pov, everything looks to have worked. The item permissions are changed to include the new share. Here I have shared with one internal employee and one external guest.
List item after sharing....
Everything seems to have worked. However - the recipient receives the notification email but cannot open the item. This goes for internal and external users.
- can you link the URL the e-mail is linking too? Wondering if it's trying to send them to a list? Also make sure your list itself isn't using Approval or you could run into issues where they can't see the items till they are approved even if they have permissions, only full permission people can see till approved. etc. etc. could be something with that?
