This post will cover the process of what happens from the time you fill in the sharing dialog to share a site or document with another user until that user accesses the site.&#160; For the purpose of this overview we won&#8217;t get into the specifics of how this process differs for an external user.&#160; We&#8217;ll cover that in the third installment of this series.&#160; If you haven&#8217;t read the first post in the series you can access it through the links below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Managing External Sharing in Office 365 \u2013 Part 1\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dontpapanic.com\/blog\/?p=378\"><strong>Part 1 \u2013 <\/strong><\/a>A high level walk-through of how to configure external sharing starting with your O365 tenant and going down to an individual site collection. <\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dontpapanic.com\/blog\/?p=434\">Part 2 \u2013 (This Post)<\/a><strong><\/strong> <\/strong>How the process flow of sharing differs between sharing a site versus sharing a document and how Office 365 adjusts this experience <\/li>\n<li><strong>Part 3 \u2013 <\/strong>How external sharing depends on the site collection access request list to manage permissions for an external sharing invitation <\/li>\n<li><strong>Part 4 \u2013<\/strong> How to use PowerShell to manage external users <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How Sharing Works<\/h2>\n<p>To understand how external sharing works you first need to understand what happens when a user shares a document or site.&#160; In this post we&#8217;ll trace the process that SharePoint goes through whenever something is shared.&#160; We&#8217;ll take a look at what permissions are required to share a site or document and explain what the user experience is for a user who receives a sharing request.&#160; Along the way we&#8217;ll discover that there is a significant difference between the experience of the recipient when receiving an invitation to share a site versus share a specific document.&#160; We&#8217;ll also point out a potential difference in the experience between sharing in Office 365 versus an On-premises SharePoint environment. <em>Note:&#160; we&#8217;ll dig more into the differences between SharePoint On-line and SharePoint On-premises in Part 3 of this series.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Sharing a Site<\/h2>\n<p>If you are the Site Collection Administrator (SCA) or Site Owner (SO) the process for sharing a site or a document is the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the second in a series of posts that is reviewing details about how to manage External Sharing in Office 365.&#160;
