Publishing Infrastructure - Turn Off - implications?
Thanks for the note -- 2 or 3 aims. One is to simplify and turn off things that are not needed. Second, I understand the Publishing sites might have conflicts with some of the Modern sharepoint features, and third, we want to use Folder Level permissions and there is some warning when you turn off "Limited Access User Permission Lockdown". I think the conflict relates to Anonymous users, which we don't have, but that is what prompted the discussion to just turn off Publishing. I have been searching but not found a lot of good information about Publishing Infrastructure.
Of the items I mentioned, moving to Modern interface is probably the biggest reason.
Thanks,
Rob.
Hi RobOK,
Another important factor here might be the base template that was used to create the site.
Is this a team site where you enabled publishing or is this a publishing portal where the publsihing featurs were enabled as part of the site template?
- The setting I am talking about is at the Site Collection level called Publishing Infrastructure.
The problem we are having is when we turn off "limited access lockdown", people have access to a bunch of Libraries they are not supposed to. They don't have access to the files but the Libraries and the menu choices.
The cause seems to be a Limited Access permission level given to "Style Resource Readers Group". I was thinking that came from Publishing Infrastructure, but don't know for sure nor whether turning off Publishing would remove that group (probably not, now that I think about it).
So our real issue is trying to turn off "Limited Access Lock Down mode" without inadvertently opening up access to things.
Seems very arcane and no clear documentation about "Style Resource Readers Group" - why its there and can we remove it.
