share list in sharepoint
- Once you have create the new permission level, you have to follow bellow steps:
(1) Navigate to your list and access the list settings
(2) In the list settings page, break inheritance and be sure to remove any permission given to the user that could cause he/she can modify your list
(3) Assign the permission level create to the Group where you are going to add your users. For instance, you could add the new permission to the standard Viewer Group
(4) Add users to the Group in the list
This is what you can do:
(1) For sharing only the list, you can only through list permissions. Just access the list administration and setup the permissions there...the downside is that you will have to share the list url with your users. With the new List App in Microsoft 365 (rolling out this month), sharing a list is much more simpler
(2) To enable users only to add an item, but not update it or delete it you need to create a custom permission level in the site, assign it to your users through a SharePoint / Security Group and them be sure that Group is configured in the list
I tried implementing your suggestion but when I share the site with another user, that user can still add columns, delete columns etc from the list. I just want them to be able to fill in the form and submit it.
I created the custom permission level and assigned that permission to a new group which I created. The custom list permissions I chose are: Add items and View items. The site permissions are view pages and open. I can't seem to work out what I'm doing wrong. I would appreciate it if you can please tell me what I'm missing.
Thank you

That worked.
