Sharing is limited on this item

NEvans670 It's also disabled on my sites.
It looks like it's not an error. However, the pop-up window could've been designed better to avoid confusing people.
You used to be able to click the send button, but there would be a red warning saying not everyone on the list had access. If everyone on the list had access, the red warning wouldn't appear.
When it did appear, people would hit send anyway, and the people who didn't have access would still be sent the file but couldn't open it.
It looks like MS removed the red warning, and more subtle verbiage replaced it ("Sharing is limited on this item. You can only copy links for people who have existing access, and you can't invite anyone new.")
The pop-up window confuses people because it's so similar to what they're used to seeing, and the send button is still there, just disabled. It makes it look like there's a permission issue.
The message says to click the "Copy link" button and email or Teams it to people. In my opinion, they should remove the disabled Send button altogether.
- Thanks Meliscli but some of our users are no longer able to Share with people who have existing access.
