Dynamic item-level permissions?
Hello,
I am in need of a solution for a scenario like this:
- Employee submits a list item
- Employee also specifies their Line Manager and Supervisor (their names / email addresses are captured in separate columns of the list item).
Requirement: Only the employee (submitter) and the specified Line Manager and Supervisor should be able to see this specific list item.
I have seen several older posts where this was considered impossible but with the changing landscape in O365 I wondered if anyone has found a clever way to do this?
Thanks so much in advance!! <3

The only 2 dynamic filter values available are ME and TODAY. If you have a people picker field for manager, you can create your default view with view filters:
CREATED BY equals ME
or
MANAGER equals ME
*add square brackets (sorry I don't see these on my phone's keyboard!)
And lock down view settings / list permissions, etc. so that users cannot create views.
- One thing you must consider here is that since you are breaking permissions per item, you could potentially hit the limit in the number of unique permissions allowed in a list (5000)
