Unable to share externally on Shared Channels
We are unable to share files and folders on shared channels with external users. We get the following message when trying share with an external email address: “Your org doesn't allow sharing with these people. To continue sharing, remove the highlighted recipients.” We are able to share externally on Standard and Private channels. Guest Access is On in the Teams admin console: In the SharePoint admin console > Policies > Sharing > External Sharing, both SharePoint and OneDrive are set to “New and existing guests”. In the SharePoint admin console > Sites > Active Sites, the team site in question has External Sharing set to “This site can be shared with new and existing guests”. On the General channel we are able to share with external users. However, on the shared channel sites, External Sharing defaulted to “This site can't be shared externally”. There is no edit button. As a workaround, I leveraged PNP PowerShell to enable external sharing with the following command: Set-PnPTenantSite -Url $SiteURL -SharingCapability ExternalUserSharingOnly The SharePoint admin console now indicates that I can share externally on the shared channel site. External Sharing shows “This site can be shared with new and existing guests”. However, I still receive the aforementioned error when trying to share externally. What am I missing? How do I enable external sharing on shared channel sites? Why is this not consistent with SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams standard/private channels?SharePoint Communication Sites - "Send by email" settings
Hello, In th new communication sites you have that "Send by email" on top of every news/page. Is it possible to control it somehow via the settings? Apparently it is possible to email a news to an External User and we want to avoid that. Even if the external user cannot open the link in the email, they can see a preview of the page/news. Thanks for your feedback, Best regards,
Change to ODB/SPO sharing dialog specific people option
Hi all, Based on feedback, we're making a small update to how the new sharing dialog works with the "Specific People" option. You may recall that we previously had two people pickers in the dialog: One to select who the sharing link work for and another to choose who to actually send the link to. We have eliminated the first people picker and have folded the functionality together. Here's a quick example: When "Specific People" is selected as the default link type, users will no longer need to open the Links settings page to choose who they want to share with. This change is rolling out now and should be available in all organizations by the end of the day. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Hello, I was trying to share a folder in a site collection with a new external user who had never authenticated himself with any of our tenant's resources. The sharing setting of the site collection is set to "ExternalUserSharingOnly". The user received an email and was prompted to enter a security code which he was sent instantly. However, after entering the code he get's the common "Access denied" message. This is the behaviour I was expecting if the external sharing option was set to "ExistingExternalUserSharingOnly" since this states that the external user has to exist in the tenant's directory already. This in turn means that I would have to share a site collection with the user first so that he can authenticate properly and a SPO user profile is created for him. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your responses. Edit: I have just tried it with a Word document that resides in the same library and with this it's working flawlessly. So the issue seems to pertain to folders.List of all External Users Using Powershell
I tried this below command to get all external users but it return nothing. I went to Admin Portal and filter users as Guest user it also not there. One particular user having gmail id is not there in the admin portal as well as below command is not returning anything. $orgName="mytenant" Connect-SPOService -Url "https://$orgName-admin.sharepoint.com" -Credential "user@tenance.com #get all external users by running get-spoexternaluser -SiteUrl "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/"
Disable external sharing on all O365 Groups, with one single exception?
I have a customer that is using Office365 groups to collaborate, mostly for file sharing. Overall they don't want to allow any external sharing via their O365 groups, except for one specific group which is going to be used to share certain files with external partners. Can i disable external users/guests on all existing and future O365 groups, but leave one group where it is still enabled?
