SharePoint sharing permissions

[chris11256]

Hi All,

 

Within the past few weeks staff have begun having problems sharing files with each other. Our SharePoint site is controlled via AD security groups, so for example all staff have access to departmental lesson resource folders. Teacher A is trying to send a file in the Chemistry folder to fellow Chemistry teacher B. They both have access to the folders, as they're controlled via the all staff AD group.

 

Yet when teacher A goes to share the files and sets it to 'people with existing access' it says teacher B doesn't have access. When they definitely do have access. Using the copy link button to send it via Outlook it works, but they'd rather use the SharePoint window to save time.

 

The only change we made was in October, for GDPR reasons we block people from using the anyone in your organisation share option to prevent students getting access to files.
