lancea1004 Hi,
you could use the folders in the lists.
Each folders have unique permissions for the specific admins.
Will it be OK? Does item-level permissions only will apply on the folder instead of all items inside the folder?
So if I have 10,000 items and 5 folders, I will only have 5 unique item-level permissions?

- Yes, the permission will be on the folder and all items in folder will inherit this permissions.
Yes, you only will have 5 unique folder permissions. In the folders, items will inherit folders permissions.
It's easiest way how to handle a lot of items with the same permissions.- I have similar situation, I'm quite new to Lists , how is it possible to get this done, can someone guide me exactly, it seems that you're creating folders for each group of persons accessing, but where does the list reside in all of this, should list be kept in Site Contents area and folders there also. Can someone guide me thank.
David_Cummings You can create folders inside SharePoint lists as well. Check this documentation: Create a folder in a list
Then you can change the permissions of these folders and share those with respective user groups. Documentation: Customize permissions for a SharePoint list or library
