Broken inheritance
Hello,
I am new to this forum and kind of new also to Sharepoint.
I am studying the broken inheritance and I came up with this question. I am not able to test it, but don't know with which kind of free temporary license I could test this.
This is the scenario I am wondering about:
Site A:
OwnersA
MembersA
VisitorsA
Subsite B:
OwnersA
MembersA
VisitorsA
Document Library 1:
User1 ( this user does not belong to OwnersA, MembersA or VisitorsA )
So, my question is: Could user1 reach that Document Library?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, user1 can have access to whole document library. Go to Document library settings > Permissions settings for library > Break permission inheritance and grant permissions to user1.
User1 should be able to reach the document library by using library URL or from your Subsite B. If user1 is not able to find the document library from Subsite B, grant Limited access to user1 at Subsite B site level permissions manually.

Your understanding is correct. By default, User1, not being part of any group at Site A or its subsite B, should not have access to Document Library 1. To test this, you can utilize a trial or free SharePoint Online subscription to experiment with permissions and see how it works in practice.

- Thanks ganeshsanap!
I really appreciate it.
I meant to say for the user1 to have access to a whole Document Library 🙂 , but I guess it applies the same.
My real wonder was: Since user1 does not belong to onwers nor members nor visitor, he would not reach the documents, so, at least he should be viewer in parent sites.
As for the Developer program, I used it long ago and I believe I am not eligible anymore with the same credit card. 😞
Many thanks once again!Yes, user1 can have access to whole document library. Go to Document library settings > Permissions settings for library > Break permission inheritance and grant permissions to user1.
User1 should be able to reach the document library by using library URL or from your Subsite B. If user1 is not able to find the document library from Subsite B, grant Limited access to user1 at Subsite B site level permissions manually.
