How to Grant Everyone Read Access to a Connected SharePoint Project Site

  1. From the site Settings (wheel) Menu, choose Shared with…

  4. On the Share window, click SHOW OPTIONS
  5. Type “Everyone” in Invite people
  6. Uncheck Send an email invitation
  7. Set Select a group or permission level to Read
    select group
  8. Click Share
  9. After this you will see Everyone listed in Site Permissions with Read access
    read access
