Change Access Permanently for File in SharePoint Folder
Hi all
As far as I know, anyone with an access to a SharePoint folder also can edit the files inside the folder. Now, I need to make all the files inside a folder to become Read Only.
Is it possible to change access for all files in a SharePoint folder to be Read Only?
Thanks

moch_galih Try following these steps:
- Go to document library
- Hover over folder name
- Click ellipses ( ... ) and select Manage access
- Select Advanced link at the bottom of manage access popup. It will open new browser tab with classic experience permissions page
- From PERMISSIONS tab from top bar > select Stop Inheriting Permissions
- Grant yourself and any other site admin Full Control access - this is very important
- Remove all other existing permissions
- Use Grant Permissions option from PERMISSIONS tab to grant permissions again. This time use below settings while granting permissions:
