O365 Groups - Read Only Files are opening up in Edit mode
Hello, We just noticed that group files marked as Read Only are opening up with Edit mode and users are able to make changes. This is not good. How can we fix this? Is a ticket necessary?
Have looked at the pemissions on the this file to see how they are setup.
Here you go. In this case the settings were Read and the user was able to Edit the content. Based on what Steven Collier it looks like this was supposed to happen because the group was public.
- I dont know, maybe public groups makes sense in other companies, just not ours..in the roadmap there is stuff coming to create a trigger for the creation of new groups so perhaps the default can be set with that.
I think Public Groups should operate like Team Sites.
- Members can edit docs.
- Visitors can view docs.
- Visitors can request to be members of the Group.
- Admins can approve requests to be members.
But then we have to be careful not to complicate Groups. The concepts are simple to those of use more familiar with owning a Team site. Not so much the regular user who just wants to get some people together to work on something. It would be good to have the option.
