Sharepoint permissioning for document libraries
Hi, I have a new sharepoint team site, i have created serveral document libraries under this site called: HR Finance Operations i am now trying to permission these libraries with 365 ...
Hi aliain-TCP - this is possible, while not recommended, you can permission down to the single file level. For each Library, go into the Library Settings > Permissions for this Library > Stop inheriting permissions > remove unnecessary groups and add your new group for that Library.
Kelly_Edinger That is the problem i was having, i went into site settings, library permissions, removed the inheritance, but then only got the option to invite people not add a security group as i wanted. I have now setup seperate sites which just means eventually we end up with 30 sites for different departments.
- If you've created SharePoint security groups, then you can type those group names in the same 'add new' area that you'd add user names. If you've used SharePoint groups but they were created on a different site collection, then they won't be available on that site. If you create Azure AD Security groups, they can be repurposed across any site, library, or file.
