Document storage in sharepoint library
With that many to create and manage, rather than folders I'd suggest you create separate document libraries with appropriate permissions. The easiest way would be to look at using the PnP powershell commands, and feed a csv file with the folder names, these could also be used to create sharepoint groups to control the permissions and can be created/updated as need via the PnP powershell commands
- Agree with Suzanne in the part that managing that amount of folders is not going to be easy...so the idea of using separate document libraries could work, but in the end as advised by Suzanne you are going to need some programming either using PowerShell or other approach
Can i do something to make it more user friendly? As i said soem folder permissions will change often, others not. Some automated method witch create libarys from idk a Sharepoint list, and set the permissions based on the sharepoint columns?
In fact this is a special school, with children who needs custom teaching plan. I have to find a way to store these files, and a way to make it secure. The best would be if i could fin a way to create librarys automaticli whan a Sharepoint list item created, and based on this sharepoint list item the library have info about the necessary permissions. I cant find In Sharepont Designer Workflows a way to create new librarys. Is there any Powershell command i could use? I don't mean creating library, but creating az automated library creation based on sharepoint list, and of course if the item updated then the permissions have to change.
