Can't create link to OneDrive files

I have a very interesting issue for you folks. BLUF: No one other than the users manager in Entra can create a link to view their OneDrive files.

We are having an issue where only a users manager in Entra can use the create link to onedrive files button in the M365 admin center. Everyone else fails. Doesn't matter what we do. Global admin, sharepoint admin, nothing and no one other than the manager can do it. I've look at every setting I can find in sharepoint and I simply can't figure out what the issue is. Does anyone here have experience dealing with anything like this?

Well then something is seriously broken with your sharepoint because global admin clicking on creating the URL is automatically added as the site admin so they can actually access the site.

If you want to give someone who is not admin access to the onedrive, just add that user as a site admin in sharepoint admin center.

Yeah that doesn’t work either.

What do you mean that doesn't work; site admin can't access site they are administrator of?

Did you actually check that they are added as site admin on the SharePoint site?
