Documents Site Help

[glenbow]

Hi

I am new to Sharepoint.  As a Azure administrator I have created a Documents Site in Sharepoint.  I have full permissions on the site but when I open a document edit and try to save it, it says read only you do not have permission to save the file.        This is in the web portal and via OneDrive. 

I want sharepoint to replace our current Windows File Server this is my aim.

Help thanks.

@glenbow Are you trying to create and edit files in SharePoint or in OneDrive?

@glenbow Are you able to access the site permissions setting for your SharePoint site?

Try hitting URL in below format in browser tab: 

https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/siteName/_layouts/15/user.aspx?

If you are able to access above URL, check what are the permissions granted to user account you are using to edit files.
