SharePoint Anyone link cannot be enabled

Question

Hello.

Even though Anyone link is enabled in the SharePoint Administrative Center - Sharing and Active Sites, it still doesn't work. The Anyone link option is not active (grayed out) and still shows a message that your organization is blocking this option.

Do I need to set up above the SharePoint level? In Microsoft 365 or Azure?

Thank you for the advice.

Hi @Beran Karel ,

1.Please check you Sharing and Active Sites setting again. Make sure you have sharing settings enabled properly.

2.This issue may also occur if the site collection feature Limited-access user permission lockdown mode is activated. You could try to deactivate Limited-access user permission lockdown mode feature.
Settings > Site Information > View all site settings > Site collection features > Limited-access user permission lockdown

3.You could try to use PowerShell code to set SharingCapability.
PowerShell code:

Set-SPOSite -Identity your site url -SharingCapability ExternalUserAndGuestSharing

Hi, thank you for your response.
I've already tried and checked all this (except PowerShell). After activating / deactivating the Limited-access user permission lockdown, I have achieved that Any link works for me for open channels, but still not for private channels.
