SharePoint Online site permissions

Hi there,

 

I have a site on SharePoint online which has no permissions defined on it, other than 'Full Control' for myself. However, there is a user who is still able to access it. This user is not a site collection administrator. When I click 'Check permissions' the following comes up:

 

Limited Access
Given through the "Everyone (c:0(.s|true)" group.
Limited Access
Given through the "Home Members" group.
Limited Access
Given through the "General" group.

 

I have searched online for a solution to this and various sources suggest that the user may have been given unique permissions to resources within the site, but I am almost 100% certain this is not the case. 

 

I think there are hidden permissions on this site that I can't view from the UI - PowerShell is suggesting there are permissions such as 'Home Owners', 'Home Visitors', 'Everyone' permissions assigned on the site.

 

How do I get rid of these? Or would anyone have any alternative suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Adrian

    Hi Adrian,

     

    do you already check the Groups (AD and SharePoint)? Modern Teamsite (maybe from Teams set to public)? 

     

    Regards

    Jens

      Yes, there are no groups defined (SharePoint or AD), just my username. 

       

      Do you have any other ideas, or thoughts on hidden permissions?

        Just to be sure.. Nothing listed here?



        or here

        https://<TenantName.sharepoint.com/teams/TeamsiteName/_layouts/15/user.aspx

        and is your Teamsite a "public group"
