Share with anyone with the link setting is grey out, why?
Works fine here. Don't forget that the sharing settings can be configured on the individual SC level, so even if the org-wide settings allow anonymous sharing overall, some SC/ODFB libraries might not have the option available.
In my case, I can share just fine from my personal ODFB or from a generic SPO site. I get the same behavior as you when I try to share from a Comm site or Group/Team one. When I look at the settings of the corresponding SC though, I see this:
SharingCapability : ExistingExternalUserSharingOnly
So it seems working as expected.
gregbutler_20 This means you have limited access lockdown enabled on the affected site collection. Navigate to the site settings, under the site collection administration, select Site collection features, and confirm if limited access lockdown is enabled, if enabled, disable it.
- Thanks. Yes I finally narrowed it down to that. We ultimately just created a team within teams to share the documents because we were not sure what would happen when we disabled that setting. The loss of creating templates doesn't bother me, but I couldn't find anything mentioning if it would change permissions or anything else and didn't want to open a new can of worms. It is nice to have info in the back pocket, though. Thanks for the follow up.
- This resolved the issue I was having, thank you for providing a solution!
