Permissions on individual Sections in a sharepoint subsite
Hello, we have our main team site that is informational, and want to create several subsites for each division. on the division sites we will have different content that we want only certain people to edit. for example. the first section is a 2 column section with a news web part in each column. I want person A and B to be able to edit News 1 and persons C and D to edit News 2. is that possible? I have looked a lot on the internet and have found all kinds of permissions settings, but cannot find the ability to set permissions on a section, or a web part in sharepoint.
Thank you all in advance for any advice or direction you can give me.
Stevedrjr You can use audience targeting feature in SharePoint for news web parts.
Refer these documentation for more information:
- Target content to a specific audience on a SharePoint site
- Use the News web part on a SharePoint page
- Audience Targeting for Quick Links Web Part in SharePoint Online
Note: Audience targeting works with Azure AD groups (including security groups, Microsoft 365 groups, and AAD dynamic groups) and not with SharePoint groups or individual users.
