Are you trying to share with external users? Can you please provide some screenshots

    We are having exactly the same issue. Sharing a site using a ClientContext with App Only credentials was working before, but now we receive errors.

     

    When sharing a site using a ClientContext that has authenticated with SharePointOnlineCredentials the sharing succeeds. Using the same code but a ClientContext that has authenticated with App Only credentials the sharing fails with error message: 'The user has insufficient permissions to create an invitation'. The app has tenant full control permissions.

     

    I think the SharePoint Online Sharing API has changed and the change is causing this issue now.

      Hi Bart Kapitein,
      Did you have a solution to work with App Only Authentication? I have the same issue as well.
