Design our SharePoint lists so we do not have more than 50,000 items with unique permissions
As mentioned in this link about SharePoint limitations https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/sharepoint-online-service-description/sharepoint-online-limits#unique-security-scopes-per-list-or-library that we can only have up to 50,000 items with unique permissions. while the SharePoint list can have up to 30 million items. so how we need to design our SharePoint lists so they do not exceed the 50,000 unique limitation? i am talking about lists and not libraries
Thanks

Hello johnjohn-Peter
in libraries you can create documents in folders, the documents will be inherit the permissions from folder, in this case only one permission will be unique, but in lists.....
I see this two possibilities:
1. Create a list and give users access to the list, they see the most items, this items will be inherit the permissions. Other items have unique permissions and other users have only access to this items, but not to the whole list and they don't see all items with inherited permissions, only the specific item level permissions.
2. Create more then one list
Good luck.
