Description:
Verifies the permission that is selected by default on sharing links created from a SharePoint site. The recommended state is View, so users must deliberately choose to grant edit rights.
Why:
This setting configures the permission that is selected by default for sharing link from a SharePoint site. The recommended state is View. Setting the view permission as the default ensures that users must deliberately select the edit permission when sharing a link. This approach reduces the risk of unintentionally granting edit privileges to a resource that only requires read access, supporting the principle of least privilege.
