MicrosoftIntroducing "Request sign-off" - an approval flow that requires no set up
Question about permissions: can you request signoff from someone who does not have permissions on that library/document? If you can, does it automatically "share" and grant them permissions? Or will it only allow you to select people who have permissions on the library?
MicrosoftHi Katrin Weixel, at the moment, it doesn't change permissions, so you will have to share the item separately if the recipient doesn't have permissions already. This is not ideal. We are working on adding a flow action to get a link for a document that anyone in the company can open, and when we have that (hopefully within a few months), our plan would be to update this so that the link that is sent will be company shareable link.
Hi Kerem Yuceturk. Has there been any progress on introducing a flow action link for a document that anyone can access?
Deleted We shipped an action that lets you create sharing link for a file or folder - with this link, you should be able to share the document within your organization or anyone including anonymous. Is that what you are looking for?
Thanks,

- Hi Chaks. Thanks for the response. This might be what I'm after. I need a way for someone to be able to view a 'draft' document in a doucment library without having approval permissions. The flow I'm trying to develop first sends an approval request to a line manager (who don't have approval permissions) and only then if they approve does it send approval off for final approval (by a director who does have approval permissions). The issue I'm experiencing is that the line managers cannot see the draft document to approve it.
