Environment
Additional Details
Since there are three ways to share a OneDrive file or folder, we will cover how to remove or change permissions for each option.
Resolution
- Navigate to OneDrive
- Log in using your Macomb network credentials (your full email address).
- Click on Shared in the right-side pane.
Method 1: Stop sharing with all recipients
- Click on the header at the top of the Shared section labeled By you to switch to files and folders that you have shared with others.
- Right-click or click the ellipsis (three dots) on the file or folder you wish to modify access for.
- Choose the Manage access option.
- Click the Stop sharing button located at the top right corner of the window within the Manage Access settings for the file or folder.
Method 2: Remove or change access for Macomb Community College employees
- In the same location as Method 1, select the person's name to adjust their access settings.
- Click on the Direct Access drop-down menu and adjust their permissions as needed.
- After you have adjusted their access, click the Apply button to save the changes.
Method 3: Remove access for files or folders shared externally or through a link
- In the same location as Method 2, navigate to the Links section, then click on the ellipses (three dots) next to the link you wish to delete.
- Click the X next to the link.
- Read the warning message and click the Delete Link button if you agree.
Note: Removing the link will revoke access for anyone who has it.
