    Hi Martin,

    It is not feasible to directly open the Excel Online in Edit mode. Because when you click on Edit Workbook, Excel will verify your permission.

    While you can open Excel Online in Edit mode by clicking three dots beside the file name then choose Open in Excel Online as shown below as a workaround.

    Thanks. However, I kept on SharePoint as admin, but nevertheless Excel validates my rights? This verification can not be turned off?

    Hi Martin,

    SharePoint cannot skip checking permissions.

    Thank you for your understanding.
