Dear Norman Young,

 

I am afraid she is not shown there as well sir. That is I believe there is a malfunction with the permits of the site. Also, as I can't see her anywhere, I can't delete her access rights to the confidential folder as well.


So I am still looking for a solution, worst case would be relocating documents and deleting the folder. But that wouldn't solve the problem, just save the day. 

 

Thank you for your support and efforts so far! It is great to see efforts of this beautiful community. If you would have any more tips / solution ideas, I will be happy to hear.

 

Have a great day and remain with,

 

Best Regards,

    Hi Yigit_Yuruker,

     

    One last place to check and then I am out of ideas. Select the folder > Open the details pane > Click Manage access. Is the user listed there?

     

    You could also search the O365 Audit Log for all activities related to the folder. You should see the permission being applied/changed.

     

    I hope this helps.

     

    Norm
