Issues with subsite permissions
I need a doubt cleared.
Site permissions are different from that of page permissions, right? Or are they the same?
Your site pages or pages library can inherit the permissions from the site permissions. Alternatively, you can stop inheriting and have unique permissions.

SubA is inheriting permissions from the Sharepoint Parent Site.
Here's the thing:
I want to invite members of my workplace to SubA. I don't want them having access or having any type of permissions in parent site. Just tunnel vision to SubA. I broke the inheritance permission so that I may be able to create SubA's own group permissions, etc.
I invite someone to test and they get the page that requests access to enter...
Do I need to add them to the Parent Site as well? Maybe I had this really mixed up.
I don't want them snooping around where they shouldn't is all I want.
Are you referencing any files from the parent site, like a Javascript or CSS file?
That is the issue that I have had in the past.
Nope. The subsite only has 3 lists and a library. I did however create a new permission level and assigned that permission level to a custom group. I attached what this new permission can do. Could it be that?
What I was doing was inviting these users and assigning them to a custome group I made called "ABC" for example. "ABC" has the permission levels shown attached....I was thinking if it had something to do with that, because honestly there's really nothing else I modified. It works well when they are assigned to the default groups Sharepoint creates, but the moment I assign them to a custom group like the one I mentioned, they have to request access
- No, you don't have to give them access to the parent site.
The issue you're having is either going to be the way you're applying permissions to the site, how the permissions are applied to the pages library or the link the users are trying to open.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to offer any more help without seeing how you're doing it. I'm sure Microsoft support would be able to help though.
