How to change one file permissions
Hi Juan, if I understand well what he means, Iivo Kerminen has a Group-connected team site with a document library and he would like to configure some Members of the Group with read-only permission and some with read-write permission.
AFAIK this is not possible (and anyway not recommended).
Am I wrong?

Hi
I am not looking to change permissions for the whole group, just for few files in a Document -folder in the Group SP site.
I haven't found a way to control the permissions for one file. If I try this at non-Group related SP site, I can easily choose a file and then set who has read and who has read-write to that file (Owners, Members, Guests) but when file is in a Document -folder in a Group-related SP site, I am not able to do this??
So is it by design that this is not possible??

There is no difference between group and classic sites when it comes to the ability to set permissions on files. You probably just aren't used to the UI being modern vs classic? You click the file, then on the info tab, "Manage Access" link, then advanced permissions to get to the old style view for the document.
