SPO Unique Permissions vs File Share permissions: How do they impact each other on migration?
Hi, I need to design a solution for migrating file shares to SharePoint Online. There are millions and millions of documents so I'm diving into Unique Permissions. SPO has a limit of 50.000 unique ...
- Feb 13, 2020My 2 Cents here:
1. A unique permission will be added for each document migrated with a specific permission. The 50.000 limit is per document library
2. To count the unique permissions on a file share you will need to write some PS code or use a third party tool. There are some scritps on the Internet that you could use
3. Unique permissions count at the document / Filder level no

jcgonzalezmartin Thnx for your reply!
I think you are correct. let me explain.
I've contacted several people and I think I have figured it out.
Every element (folder/file) on your fileshare where 'IsInherited=False' will count for a unique permission element.
So:
c:\Temp
The AD Group DL-SEC-Temp is added to this folder with unique permissions.
10 Accounts are member of the AD Group DL-SEC-Temp.
If you migrate this folder to:
https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/test/Documents/Temp
This folder will have 10 unique permissions.
At least that is how I interpreted things.
