Sharing problems in Sharepoint (sharing options greyed out)
Hello, I'd like to ask for help with a problem regarding sharing options in Sharepoint. We are using "modern sharepoint" The options for choosing what kind of sharing the users want to d...
We are experiencing this too and have discovered a few things, with no solution.
Members typically are assigned "Edit" site permissions (I assume). At first, this role had the "Anyone with a link can..." option available. However, we do not want our Members to be able to have the ability to delete, for example. I modified the "Edit" permission level by unchecking "Delete Items" and when I did, the "Anyone with a link can..." option for Members became grayed out. After trial and error I determined that, for whatever reason, ALL boxes under "List Permissions" have to be checked or "Anyone with a link can..." will not be available.
I'm attempting to figure out a solution to this and joined this group moments ago to ask this community for help. Maybe our issue is the same?
If you happen to have found a solution, I'd be grateful to learn what it was.
Thank you!
Hey there, I have experienced the same thing you bring up here. To resolve this you need to remove the Limited-Access User Permission Lockdown Mode.
- Go to Your site collection >> Click on Settings Gear >> Click on “Site Information” >> Click on the “View All Site Information” link.
- Under the site settings page, click on “Site Collection Features”.
- Click on the “Deactivate” button next to the “Limited-access user permission lockdown mode” feature and confirm the prompt on the next page.
