Hi ,
How do i change the default permission when an item is shared with someone else. It defaults to edit. I want it to default to view:

This can only be set org wide, the settings are on sharing tab in SharePoint admin center, also in OneDrive.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the quick response. I did set that and it has no effect on the sharing dialog I showed in my screenshot. On that admin page the description says it applies only to anonymous access, internal and direct links.

Hi @Russell Gove,
Just wanted to check in and see if this was working for you now or if there is still an issue. Thanks!

@Stephen Rice Thank you, here you go. I go into Sharepoint Admin Center, > Policies> Sharing. Whenever I share any libraries with individuals it still uses "Edit" permission as the default.

@Stephen Rice, absolutely.
I am trying to share a document library with an external client. Library Settings>Permissions for this document library>Grant Permissions, then I add the email addresses of those I want to share with and the default is always edit on this screen.
I see now that if I share the library using the share icon within the library it defaults to read access. This could be a case of business process that we have to adjust for library sharing by the looks of it.
Best,
Paul.

Hi,
I have the same problem. I am looking for a solution to change the default "direct access" settings.
By granting permission to an item in the page library, it suggests editing permissions and notify people by default. I have to change them every time.
Is it possible to somehow change these two default settings so that they always suggest as below?
