Sharepoint lists question on permission setting vs. custom user views and risks
Hi All, I'm setting up a sharepoint list to be used by a many people in an organisation > 50. The list will contain sensitive information so it's crucial only specific people see specific items i...
You'll need to ensure that the List itself is no longer inheriting permissions from the parent (the site), remove members and visitors access, and then uniquely share each list item (use the inline share button for the list item). This is tedious and prone to errors and lots of help desk tickets but anyone who knows how to change the view from 'me' to 'all' will see all items.
Thanks Kelly, That does sound painful.
If the permissions are set correctly for the views that users only have "edit" level access would they then not have the option to view all items?
I've been playing around with the audience targeting field, it looks to be a possible solution by adding user names into the field it allows only them to see those items. Just wondering if there are possible risks option too?
- This thread helped me tremendously with a great how to on custom set views and restricting permissions to those views
