Hi @Zhang, Eric
Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.
Regarding your issue, the Share or Manage Access panel in SharePoint often defaults to simplified sharing options. If the library or site permissions are configured in a way that doesn’t expose the Read permission level through this panel, you’ll only see "Can edit".
Here are a few steps you can try:
Use Advanced Permissions:
- Instead of using the "Share" use the Manage access > Advanced permissions.
-
- Select site Visitors or Members > New (add users to this group)
-
- On the Shared with choose Advanced
-
- Click on Grant Permissions and enter the email addresses
-
- Click Show Options and choose Read from the permission level dropdown.
Note: Make sure the group you're sharing with also has the Read permission level defined in the site settings.
For more details, please refer to: Customize permissions for a SharePoint list or library
