I can´t invite external Users
Problem: When I try to invite external users to my Sharpoint site I get the following error: Things I've tried: Checked admin sharepoint policy settings: Checked admin shar...
Please check the tenant level sharing setting.
1. Open M365 admin center (https://admin.microsoft.com/)
2. Under Settings, click Org settings.
3. Under Services tab, click SharePoint.
4. Check your sharing option.
Allowing anyone to share the site is not a good practice and should be done when it's really necessary and just by considering the risks. A reason is when 3rd parties can share the information with other external people which might lead to data exposure.
The intention of the screenshot is to check the sharing settings at Tenant level. Every organization can decide which option best suits for them.
Couple of questions:
- Are you trying to share the entire site? Or a specific list / library or a document?
- Is this situation happening on only one site or on all the sites?
Another possibility, the external user with whom you want to share the content might have not yet accepted the invite to become an external user in your tenant.
- 1. I'm trying to invite external people (who also have microsoft licenses) to a microsoft sharepoint group (sharepoint then handles page permissions based on that group)
2, I tried sharing it on a team sharepoint site and it did let me for some reason. The one where is not working is not a team site but a communicaiton site, in case that matters
I can also confirm the external user did accept the invite. I can see him as a guest in users- Closing down this issue because i've tried going into the sharepoint sharing settings again and for some reason instead of allowing external issues as it did when it first tried it was not. I don't really know why but it works now
