Best way to create a Sign-Up sheet
Need to create a sign-up sheet limited to 30 users. First come first serve. No waitlist. Wondering how others have accomplished this in the past, and if there is a better way in Modern.
Thank you for this thoughtful reply. Could you expand on or screenshot the privileges you give to achieve this?
You may need to create a new permission access level if it doesn't already exist. I made a copy of the "Contribute" level and then unchecked the boxes that allow users to add new items or delete items. Now you have to name it.
NOTE - There is already "Edit" level that is actually higher than Contribute. It's used as the default level for members and allows them to edit columns in lists and libraries. So you'll need to name this one something different and more obvious like "Only Edit List Items". Mine looks something like this.
This method works online or on-prem, desktop or mobile with no customizations to the default form.
- Hi,
Brilliant and simple solution. However, the ways to set up a permission group or levels requires a lot of knowledge to set up properly?
I figured out how to find list permissions based on your screenshot. However, there are groups such as:
Site Owners
Site Members
Site Visitors
Site Members and Visitors has the generic SharePoint permissions. So, if I'm correct in my thinkings, I need to remove the groups (Site Members and Site Visitors) and create a new group for "Sign up Visitors", then add list permissions to that group? It's not simple as I thought it would be because of my lack of knowledge of permissions levels or groups. I'm little confused.
