Restrict shareing files in a document library to members of that document library
An additional three questions from me in order to understand your situation better.
1. Are there any sensitivity labels in play that might help? --> Really helps in depth with your issue
2. What are the currents sharing setttings for Files and Folders?
3. Could you clarify the "can now see the Managers Document Library listed in SharePoint" part? As in: the user can see the URL of the library?
Regarding to number 2, I've added some pictures of some setting options that might help.
Files and Folder links --> You can specify for SharePoint and OneDrive who can access
In addition, if it's set on "Anyone with the link" you can set an expiration date (for instance: access by link expires after 7 days". I myself find that setting an experiation data helps users keep track of what they've shared and what not 😀 (mostly I used 30 days)
Hope this will help or maybe at least dive a bit more into your question
Hi,
Sorry for the delay, had an outage take all of my attention
sorry, I don't know what a sensitivity label is. It is a single site with multiple document libraries. If labels would help, i'm ok with going down that path.
File and folder is currently the defaults like your images. I haven't made changes as they don't seem to match what i'm looking for and are also site wide which may affect other operations (still determining some functions)
for example,
user 1 is a member of sp_accounts. when they go to the home page of the site they can see the general (all users) and the accounts document libraries and their contents on the top menu.
user 2 is a member of sp_managers. they can see the General and managers document libraries and contents on the top menu.
user 2 shares the file /managers/folder name/file1.pdf with user 1
user 1 can use the link to see the pdf
user 1 can now see general, accounts and managers document libraries in the top menu but they can not see any content in the managers library.
I'd like to either stop user 2 sharing the file with user 1 (prefered) or stop the managers folder name from apearing in the top menu for user 1.
