Restric accès to a user from a group to a folder in SharPoint

Hi there

 

I have a user in a group who needs to work with some folder in SharePoint. But this user needs to not have access to one of the folders. Obviously the group is accessing all the folders.

 

How can I Restrict Access from a person in a group To A Folder In SharePoint?

 

Thx for your time and help.

 

  • Hello JG_the_It_guy

     

    you can not exclude only one user from the group.

     

    You have the following possibilities:

    1. Create a group without this user and set permissions on the folder (delete the old from the folder)

    2. Delete the group from the folder an add users to the folder permissions

     

    Regards, Dave

      HiDaveMehr365

       

      Maybe I get wrong in my question.
       
      Sorry for that.
       
      But the person is in a group and I wish that person got denied access to sub folder but not all the group.
       
      Is this possible?

        Hey JG_the_It_guy 

         

        no worries, all ok.

         

        No, it's not possible.

        Best, Dave
