Sharing with everyone available but sharing within organization is disabled
In our case it's our root tenant site (which was provisioned automaticaly).
Our users have no access on the site itself, only on the libraries (images and pages).
Thanks Bart. Wherever possible, we do the following on our sites:
- Allow 'everyone (except external users) read only access
- Restrict only what needs to be restricted; this includes changing the Members to 'read only' if we don't want changes made
- Keep an eye on the audit trails
We follow this model after many years of trying to fix up customised permissions on libraries and lists (and some pages), and even folders and individual documents, which became a nightmare to manage.
On our root site (name.sharepoint.com), we allow 'everyone (except external users)' read only access to the content as we use that site as a general 'portal' site to point users to where they may want to go to, e.g., their OneDrive, their SharePoint, their O365 etc. We did think to use it as a replacement intranet but changed this strategy once we saw the potential complexity involved.
