Page specific permissions - only one page
JHingst Absolutely, your thoughts are spot on! If you stop the permission inheritance for a specific page in SharePoint and handpick who gets access, they'll indeed be able to check out that page. They can use the direct URL to access it, and you're right - they won't have the green light to wander off to other parts of the site.
The navigation bar and the rest of the site are off-limits to them. They'll be laser-focused on that one page you've given them access to. Keep in mind though, if they have the URL, they could bookmark it for quick access later.
Just a heads up, make sure there's nothing super sensitive on that page since they'll have the VIP pass to it. For general access needs, breaking the permission inheritance is a nifty way to handpick who sees what.
I'd suggest giving it a spin in a test environment first to avoid any unexpected surprises before rolling it out for real.
