Dynamic item-level permissions?
DanielaH - Just an Idea I have never tried this, you can use Flows to set permissions.

Sai Gutta Thank you!
The article links to a great instructional video explaining exactly how to fulfil my requirement :D
- 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)
Just a quick update on this - I logged a premier support ticket with MS and the response was that what I am trying to achieve is not possible at the moment (unless perhaps using the flow I referenced earlier).
How are others solving this kind of scenario then??
Imagine a purchase order needs to be submitted, but the submitter should only have read-access after submitting. However someone else (the approver) needs edit access in order to update its status and perhaps add a comment. This approver is usually specified within the form/list.
-> Requirement: Item level permissions enabling submitter to view, and specified approver to edit.
Such a simple requirement and yet so difficult to achieve?
Thank you jcgonzalezmartin.
Sai Gutta - I had a go at the shared article and it looks quite involved.. since I am not coming from a technical background I am not actually clear whether this does fulfil my purpose - i.e.:
The only people who should get contribute access to the item are those as specified in specific columns within the list?
