Sharing an Item with item level permissions
When a list is set up such that only the creator of an item is able to view the item only the creator AND people with Manage Lists permission can see or edit the item. If you grant the other user 'Manage Lists' permission on the item, he will be able to see and edit it.
"If you grant the other user 'Manage Lists' permission on the item, he will be able to see and edit it."
Thank you Russel for your feedback. By doing this, wouldn't they have visibility to all items on the list?

Hi Samantha,
It was my understanding that users with Manage List permission could edit all items, even if the list wer configured as noted above. I just tested this out in my o365 tenant and it did not work as I expected. The idea was to give the user manage list permission on the ONE ITEM. Not the list itself. That way he could edit that ONE ITEM, not the entire list.
In my O365 Environment Its not working. I granted a user 'Manage List' permissions on both the item and the list and he is still unable to edit the item.
Sorrry .

No Problem at all. Thanks so much for trying to help out!
It looks like we may have found another work around so we might not be using the SharePoint tool for this purpose!
