SharePoint Anyone Link Greyed Out for only some members

swinnings · ‎Mar 29 2023

Hi Everyone.

Not sure what is going on. I am a SharePoint Admin and have allowed external sharing/turned on.

Everything works perfectly fine for me. HOWEVER, I have some members that it works okay for and other members where the option is still greyed out.

Why is this only affecting some people? Am I missing a setting?

Hi @swinnings - Some questions that may help find the issue:

are these all happening on the same site? I ask because if someone else at your company has access to the admin center, maybe they changed the settings for that other site.
From the SP admin center, are there specific groups who are allowed to share with 'anyone' or is it open for all?
On that site, in the Site Permissions, are members allowed to share the site or only owners? see: Changing the "Allow members to share" SharePoint site Access Requests setting using Office Dev PnP -...
Are the ones who can't share with anyone licensed users or guests?
