Control sharing in SharePoint

The sharing settings define who may share files, folders and the site itself with others. This keeps access to the document storage under control.

Set sharing

1. Open Groups → Templates → organisation → template → SharePoint.

2. Under SharePoint site sharing permissions, select who may share:

   Option	Share files and folders	Share the site
   Owners and members	Owners, members and people with edit permissions	Owners and members
   Owners and members (files and folders only)	Owners, members and people with edit permissions	Owners only
   Owners only	Owners only	Owners only

3. If needed, enable Allow access requests. Users without access can then request it from the owners.

4. Save the template.

Recommendations

• Select Owners and members (files and folders only). Members can still collaborate, but only owners extend access to the whole site.
• Enable Allow access requests only if the owners actually handle requests.
