Hi Tobey,Create a custom permission level with required list permissions. Under "Site Permissions" disable the following options:
a) Use Remote Interfaces - Use SOAP, Web DAV, the Client Object Model or SharePoint Designer interfaces to access the Web site.
b) Use Client Integration Features - Use features which launch client applications. Without this permission, users will have to work on documents locally and upload their changes.Assign this custom permission to the group which does not require "Export to Excel" option.
For the list or library go to > Library Settings > Advanced Settings > Display this list using the new or classic experience? - select Classic experience.
Even with custom permissions, the new experience has an option "Export to Excel" enabled. Hence the above step in Library settings.
By the way, this also disables, "Open with Explorer" option.
Trust this helps
Sundar Arunachalam I tried this today (SP Online), and when I tested, I couldn't get to the list at all. Site-yes, list-no. I tried again, re-enabling "Use Remote Interfaces," but I still couldn't access the list. I see that I can't select only "Use Client Integration Features" because when I deselect "Use Remote Interfaces," "Use Client Integration Features" automatically deselects as well.
I realize this conversation took place a couple of years ago, but if you have any additional suggestions, I'd really appreciate it.
- Mmm...well, by using permissions you cannot enable / disable the Export to Excel option. The only option to disable the option is by means of some programming so you can program a piece of code that disable the option for this library
Permission can control Export to Excel feature.
I have found this is Limited Access's problem...
