Sharepoint site sharing for members or users with edit but without delete permission doesn't work

Copper Contributor

Hello everybody,

 

the site share settings are set to "site owners and members... People with Edit permissions can share files and folders."

We introduced several SharePoint Groups with the Permission level "Edit without delete" which is just a copy of permission level edit without delete items and delete versions.

Users which are members of theses Sharepoint Groups can add folders, files to the Sharepoint document library. But if they try to share a file they get  the message as soon as they enter a name

The person the share is addressed to is member of one of the sharepoint groups as well.

 

My question: Why can't people with apparent edit permission share a file. This is a contradiction to the setting people with edit permission can share ... and the user's ability to add folders and files.

 

We use Sharepoint online. 

 

I think this behaviour is some sort of bug.

 

This really causes us quite a bit of strain.

 

Any advice/help is very welcomed.

 

Why is the delete permission as well for members as for edit permission needed to be able to share a file or folder? The described behaviour is in contradiction to  the requirements displayed for sharing permissions: Site owners and members, users with edit permission.

Nowhere mentionned that a delete permission is needed. It doesn't make sense for  the ability to share a file or folder to be able to delete a file or folder.

 

Kind regards
