User has access to CRITICAL folder not shared with her
Hello experts,
I have just found out that I have a user to a critical sharepoint folder folder where she should not have access at all, and I am not sure how that happened.
I check via Manage Access and
- user is not in the list in "People"
- user is not part of group in "Groups".
- the user is part of "Team Site Members" though
- there is no "share link"
- when I go to "Advanced Settings"
- the user is not in the list
- I see message however
- When I click "Show users" the user is not in the list however there are service groups with limited access an the user is member of two of them
- When I check via ""Check Permission" I see the below
Now, anyone could help me with the below?
- How I can find out why the user has access to that folder if the permissions are not given to her?
- How can I find out what are the Service Groups above referring to?
- How can the "Check Permissions" feature help me to identify how she got access? There are very little info there
Would be grateful for any advice as it is very critical folder....

sumo83 Follow below steps to check the detailed permissions of folder in the document library:

- Select the folder --> select ellipsis (...) and choose Manage access option
- From Manage access popup, select (...)and then Advanced settings
- From advanced permissions page, you can check user permissions as well as remove group or individual user permissions as per your requirements:

I have already done it -> see the "When I check via "Check Permission" I see the below" part in my post. Was not very helpful.....
Also, when you check the permissions using Check Permissions option, it shows you the group name from which the access was given to user:
If it is a SharePoint group, you can find that group from "People and Groups" page, generally accessible via link in this format:
