What happened with reader role in SharePoint Online?
Hi DaveMehr365,
Thanks for your reply.
Fixed. The problem is that if you try to add the users in the SharePoint visitor groups (old groups) directly it doesn't work, but if you do it from the sharing functionality, it does work.

Hello santiago1976
do you try to add a internal or external user?
You can set on different levels if sharing of SharePoint sites is allowed at all or not.

And no, you can set different permissions on SharePoint sites. Also you can set other permissions on SharePoint then in MS Teams, but it's not recommend.
Documentations are here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/modern-experience-sharing-permissions
Have you more informations or a PrintScree about your issue?
Best, Dave

nice to hear 👏
👉 I think you would need to clean up and correct the permissions on the site so this doesn't happen anymore.
