View only items that logged in user created
Hello All,
I'm slowly making headway, and I need some help please.
The scenario is:
User uploads a file to a SharePoint Document Library. Only the logged in user should be able to see items that they created/modified.
If I enable SharePoint level approval, I get the desired behavior. In our case, we do not want a file approval process.
I understand that a List can be configured for this behavior, but we need to use a Document Library.
Thank you for your feedback

ErikCRL You will have to use the custom item (file) level permissions for your scenario.
- Create a Power automate flow which will run when new file is created in the document library
- Break permission inhertiance on file item
- Grant Full control permissions on file item to site owner
- Grant Read or Edit (as per your requirements) permissions on file item to user who uploaded the file
Check this once: Manage list item and file permissions with Power Automate flows
You can also use the SharePoint REST APIs with "Send HTTP request to SharePoint" action in Power automate to break/grant permissions.

- Get file properties
- Get User profile
- Grant access to an itemGreat work, I am glad my response helped you to achieve what you were looking for!
