Hi Cissong 

 

I am also experiencing this issue, we had a site page shared with "anyone with the link" for the past couple of months and as of Friday it stopped working and the share with "anyone" link on the site page is greyed out.

 

I have checked across multiple tenants and all tenants are doing the same thing.

Seems like a general issue but no communication about it yet get-spoash

    Cissong  I raised a ticket with Microsoft as we really need this feature at the moment. They advised the following:
    "To access the .aspx pages, user requires authentication as per the SharePoint Online rules. Now if the user is not given permission to access the site pages or access to any site or subsite, he/she will not be able to access those site. So to share the site pages we need to give appropriate permission to the user and then he would be able to access the site."

      Hi folks,

       

      Anyone links for .aspx pages were never intended to work as part of our implementation and we've now made a product change to prevent their creation. We've updated our documentation here to help call this out explicitly. You can still share these pages via other link types as needed. Hope that helps!

        Thanks StephenRice . 

        It was very handy to be able to share a page with anyone with COVID 19 and contractors but understand.
