How to allow access to teams but not give access to everything in SharePoint site
over2klb How big is the company?
For company wide communications I would normally have a team for the whole organisation, then have channels for each department. That's a public space where anyone can communication and access content.
Then if a closed team is required for confidential HR matters have a separate team for just their group.
The reason I asked about company size, there's currently a limit of 5000 people in one Team, so that might limit your all company team.
StevenC365 currently a little over 6000 which puts us over the 5000 member limit. which is another restriction that we're dealing with.
- Anyway, to answer the orgianl subject question. The only way you can have people in a Team, and have others in that same Team and restrict access to SharePoint content on the connected site, is to give owner rights to everyone on the Team that needs access to everything, and then you can restrict members permissions on the content they shouldn't see.
That said. I would split the content to separate sites, either have the Team as the public location and another Comm-site just to house private docs. etc.ChrisWebbTech I'm coming across what you wrote after a year, but wondering if you meant having the team site be for private docs and the comm site be public facing?
