How to Share Microsoft SharePoint Site with Users or Groups


You can share your Microsoft SharePoint with other people if you are the owner of the site. You can add people as below there,

  • Site Owners - full control
  • Site Members - limited control
  • Site Visitors - no control

Steps to share SharePoint Site

  1. Open the SharePoint Site on a web browser,
    https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/<site-name>
  2. Look for the share button at the top right and click on it,
    SharePoint Site Share button
  3. Now add the user or group that you want to share,
  4. By default an email will be sent to the user/group and you can type an optional custom message as well,
  5. Click share button

If the site does not belong to you but you have access to it, you can still add people but will need approval from the site owner.

You can either add users, Microsoft 365 groups, or security groups.

You might be able to share the SharePoint site outside your organization, provided that the organization allows you to do so, based on the global settings or specific to the site.
