Do not allow members to download a list on Sharepoint
Hello
I would like to change the permissions of the members from my Sharepoint so that they cannot download a specific Sharepoint list (only one list). Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you in advance
Louis

louisquinet What do you mean by "downloading a list" exactly?
Are you trying to prevent users from using "Export to excel" functionality in the lists?If yes, you can do it using permissions like mentioned here: Remove Export from a SharePoint list
or using JSON command bar formatting to hide the export button, check: Command bar customization syntax reference

- Thank you very much for your answer. It works, but it applies this for every Sharepoint list, is there also a way to do this for one specific Sharepoint List?
When I go in list settings, I do not receive as many options as in the general options for the Sharepoint site.Try this:
- Create a new custom permission level instead of customizing the SharePoint default permission level. Make copy of existing "Edit" permission and remove the unnecessary permissions as mentioned in the link I provided in above reply. Check: How to create a custom permission level in SharePoint
- Break permissions inheritance at list level and grant permissions to members group using new permission level. Check: Customize permissions for a SharePoint list or library
