Sharepoint Link Validation

Link to file on a Sharepoint site sent to users in an email. The group referenced below has permissions on the file only.

Recipients get a Sharepoint validation link (could not upload a screenshot), with the following extremely end-user-unfriendly message.

"The link is not directly secured to name@tenantname. If you sign in, we can check if you are a member of a group this link is secured to."

The link works, and all the recipients are in fact members of the group referenced in the message.

So what exactly does this message mean? I've been working with Sharepoint for years and I am confused.

    Dear DDunneAgain,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft community. We are delighted to offer our assistance.

    We are afraid that in order to address this issue, it may be necessary to investigate the environment on your end. As forum support, we do not have sufficient permissions and resources to perform an investigation directly. Therefore, we sincerely recommend that you contact your Microsoft 365 administrator and follow the steps outlined in this article to create a support ticket and contact Online Support.

    The support team at Online Support has higher permissions than us and can remotely examine the situation on your end, gather more resources, and assist you with troubleshooting. This will be a more efficient way to address your concerns.

    Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! Have a great day.

    Sincerely,

    Sean | Microsoft Community Moderator
