Hi community, 

The way we have set up Teams at our organisation is such that we have an overarching team (containing all members of our department) and several locked channels relating to different groups within the department. 

The way we set up our SharePoint sites was such that all Team members in our department could view the sites we had set up, regardless of whether or not they are part of the locked channel. When setting this up I altered the SharePoint setting to allow read-only access to each site page for all members of the overarching Team. 

For some reason (either accidental or a larger change/update from Microsoft – I’m unsure), this no longer seems to work. Team members can now only see the SharePoint site corresponding to locked channels of which they are a member. This problem persists even when I grant members of the overarching team read-only access. 

Is anybody able to help? I don’t want to add everybody in the department to each individual locked channel so looking for any potential workarounds!

Thanks in advance, 

Lauren
