Check Out/In a document to a group or multiple users
Hi, We're looking for a way to check out a document to a group of people and then check in back in so another group can then work on it. We have some really large 50,000 docs that are being worke...
You cannot check it out to a group in the way that checkin/checkout works but you could use power automate to run a flow that changes the permissions on the document at the various stages in its lifecycle.
You would need security groups(or name users individually) for the group of users that you wanted to have edit access. You could have a status column against the document that the users could change to signify when they had finished the editing. At which point the permissions would be changed back.
