No, this is completely unacceptable. We need a way to turn this off. If there are links in messages I share, I DO NOT CARE if M$ thinks ANYONE can't access them. We need a way to turn off this unnecessary distraction.
How to disable the message "Some recipients don't have access to links in your message."

We've upgraded to Microsoft 365. Whenever I send an email now I get the error that
"Some recipients don't have access to links in your message."
We do include a hyperlink to our public website in our signature and may have attached documents or links but this was never a problem in previous versions. It is an interruption to constantly have to select Ignore. The MS documentation noted the following: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/troubleshoot/email-management/shareable-links-functionality-in-outlook?source=recommendations
Q6: Can I turn off the shareable links functionality?
A6: No.
I see many other complaints on your website. This isn't an acceptable feature. Please allow us to disable this notification.

As the official documentation says, this feature cannot be turned off. This is by design.
Considering the impact of SharePoint link sharing permissions, it is recommended that you check the sharing permissions for SharePoint links if you are using a personal account. If you're a member of an organization, it's a good idea to contact your administrator to research sharing permissions to see if the link's permissions can be modified.
In addition, there have been user feedback that turning off the MailTips below may resolve it. Go to File > Options > Mail > MailTip Options.

No, this is a bug. The committee that created this "feature" is wrong. Our recipients that "don't have access to links in your message" have explicit permission in SharePoint to access the links.

Ian 0 Reputation points2025-08-08T22:42:45.5466667+00:00 By choice, I have links in my email signature that recipients are allowed to click on to gain access. I realise I am sending an email to someone who may or may not already have access to the links, but that is my decision and the situation is not a danger to me or the organisation I work for. I would like the opportunity for it to be my decision instead of now effectively having two buttons to click on to send an email when one should be sufficient. Making it simple can increase productivity.
I would like to have the option to not have this annoying, time-wasting message appear almost every time I send - sorry - attempt to send an email.
