SharePoint unique permissions scope limit & impact
Hi, Which approach would be good considering unique permissions? 1. To have ~5000 folders in a single library and each folder having unique permissions? Folder itself will not have more than 10-...
Hello,
I am not sure exactly about your scenario, but think about these:
1. There is no limit to the number of document libraries you can have on a site
2. You can sync up to 5,000 items in a SharePoint library. This includes folders and files.
3. Usually, permission management at the library level is much easier than folder level with PowerShell.
Hopefully, this is answering your question 🙂
Alireza Rahimifarid Thanks for your response.
I am still looking for a good reason to use one over another approach. For e.g. in MS docs, it is written about permissions scope hard limit for list/library items which is 50000 and recommended is 5000 but is it valid for list/library level unique permissions also?
