Breaking inheritance permissions
Having issues with permissions in my SP 2016 site. I have a Site > SubSite>List. In the both the SubSite and the List, I have 2 groups; edit and read only. I need a group of people to have read...
Unnie So, I can create a new group in the SubSite but I can't create a group in the list. When I created the group in the SubSite, it does not let me choose what resource to use with that new group; I can only use it in the SubSite.
How do I create a edit group only for the list?
Bryan123 SharePoint Groups are only created at the site level, they cannot be created at the List level. To accomplish your goal, you can create a new group in the subsite, and assign it the Permission level that will be appropriate for most of the objects in the site, THEN go to the list, break the permissions there and reassign the group to the desired permission level.
HTH, let us know if you have any questions.
- That worked, thank you
Seems as if there could be a better way of doing this
