Users in security group not receiving the same permissions
Hi experts, I have a SharePoint Online site with 4 lists. Each list has its own permissions as I broke the inheritance. All lists are set so users can see/edit their own records only. Now I have ...
- I haven't seen that before. If that security group worked for everyone else, this is what I would do: Remove them from the security group. Then browse to any SharePoint group. The end of the URL should look something like this: /_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=5. Change the group to 0, so it looks like /_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0. Find and delete the users. This will completely remove them from the site collection, and they should get access denied. Then re-add them to the security group.

Awesome reply, thank you. For some reason, today the permissions appeared for those three users too, so there was a delay in applying the permissions, don't understand why it worked for 16 users and not for the other 3. Saying that, I did follow your suggestion just to see how it looks and I am 99.99% certain I will be using your advice at some point in the future, thank you!
