Answer 1

Hi @Dominic McCabe, 

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

Regarding that you want to stop sharing in SharePoint or deny access. 

If you're trying to stop sharing a file, folder, or site in SharePoint, you can remove access in a few different ways depending on how it was shared. 

1. Stop sharing a file or folder with everyone 
2. Select the file or folder in SharePoint. 
3. Click Details in the upper-right corner. 
4. Under Has Access, select Manage access. 
5. Select Stop sharing. This removes the sharing links and revokes access granted through those links 

Remove access for a specific person 

1. Select the file or folder. 
2. Open Manage access. 
3. Find the person under the access list. 
4. Select Remove access, or use the drop-down next to their name to change their permission level.  

Remove access to an entire SharePoint site 

If the person has access through site membership: 

1. Go to the SharePoint site. 
2. Select Settings (gear icon) > Site permissions. 
3. Locate the user or group. 
4. Remove them from the SharePoint group or select Remove Users from Group. 

Thank you again for your time and understanding. I really appreciate your patience, and I’m here to help. Looking forward to your response.
