Restrict shareing files in a document library to members of that document library
Hi, I have a site with multiple document libraries, lets call them Accounts, Managers and General. Each document library has removed inheritance and the Members and Visitors groups removed and a security group added with edit permission. e.g. SP_Managers group Is there a way for me to be able to restrict sharing links to files to only users that already have access to the document library? i.e. someone in the Managers library can only share a link with others with access to that document library. In my current case, if someone in the managers library (who is a member of the SP_Managers security group to get access) shares a file with a general user (not in the security group), that general user can not only access the shared document but, can now see the Managers Document library listed in SharePoint (Not any content) which I don't want to happen. Another option may be to make it so the top level folder isn't visible to non members even if a file is shared (I don't know if that is possible either) but the restricting of sharing would be a better soloution. Thanks for any advice Ian
Add items Permission level
Hi, I'd like to know a way to set permissions on a list so that users in the SharePoint site - Members group can't see existing items in the list that don't have unique permissions assigned. They can only add new items in this list. Once an item is created, a workflow would be triggered that would add a unique permission only for that item. The problem is that when creating a Permission Level with only the ability to add items, the user loses access to the custom item creation form.
Users with Edit permissions cannot change permissions they created themselves
I noticed a very strange behavior of SharePoint today, that makes no sense to me. I created a normal SharePoint Teamsite (without a group) and added many people to the members group. This gives all those people "Edit" permissions. In this way they can also share files and folders with others through Direct Access. If a normal Edit-User shares something this works as expected: The folder is now shared with David and he gets permission to change the file. However, if the user wants to change those permissions afterwards, he has no permission to do this. The explanation is shown in the window: So users can give Edit-Permissions, but they need to be owners to remove those. This is contradictive to me. What is your experience? Any explanation?Order of Server Shutdown and Restart in SharePoint Farm

Issue: Date picker / calendar icon disappeared from Page Details pane
Hi everyone, I am reaching out to see if anyone else is experiencing a recent issue with the Date field in SharePoint Online. Since yesterday (January 15th), the calendar icon / date picker has disappeared from the Page Details pane when editing properties for News pages. Here are the details of the issue: The Problem: When clicking on a Date column in the Page Details pane, the calendar selector no longer pops up. Manual Entry: It is still possible to type the date manually, but the visual interface is gone. Comparison: Interestingly, the date picker works perfectly fine when using "Edit in grid view" in the Site Pages library. The issue seems specific to the side property pane (Details pane). Browsers tested: I have reproduced the issue on both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome (latest versions), even after clearing the cache. Is this a known bug following a recent update, or is there a new UI setting I might have missed? Has anyone seen a similar report in the M365 Service Health dashboard? Thanks in advance for your help!

SharePoint Classic Templates
Hello community! So we all know that classic sites need to be converted to modern sites, however, if you have a site that was built on a classic template (but has since been converted to a modern site), do you really need to do anything else? I could honestly give less of a crap what happens to classic templates, I just want to make sure that my site which was originally built on a classic template isn't in jeopardy. My knee-jerk reaction is "no" because otherwise there would be thousands upon thousands of sites that likely break. Thoughts, feelings, and opinions appreciated. Thanks!Microsoft Lists, bad links at pictures
About a year ago, I created a list in Microsoft Lists and filled a "Picture" column with photos. It's now located at https://lists.live.com/. The images stopped displaying in March 2025 and several times before that. Only a placeholder image with an ID (e.g., "https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/5a9a22e9-7005-4772-a54f-9ca6434db3bb?platform=QnA") is shown. The problem occurs in the browser (Chrome), in the Lists desktop application, and in the Android app. I've tried it on three PCs and two mobile devices, and the problem appears the same everywhere. I suspect there's something wrong with the link between the image in the list and the Microsoft server. How can this problem be solved? When clicking on a corrupt picture/link I end in a new browser tab showing this: { "error": { "code": "invalidRequest", "message": "Invalid request" } }
