    Hello taupia_a 

     

    i vote for only 2 permission breaks. The documents have no unique permissions and therefore do not count as unique authorizations.

     

    We had a similar use case with over 100'000 documents. On root we had 100'000 breaks, it was not really good, after that, we create 20 folders with unique permissions and moved all the documents into the folders and inherit the permission, after that, the solution works fine.
