View-Only permission in Sharepoint Site Permissions MISSING
I followed some guides such as https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2021/08/sharepoint-online-view-only-permission-level-missing.html and https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/300612/view-only-permission-level-for-communication-site to 'activate' a feature for a site I created at my org so that the 'view only' permission populates along the following:
- Full Control
- Design
- Edit
- Contribute
- Read
I made sure I did this at the site collection level (which was activated already) and then at the site I created (which was not activated). The result is, I still do not see the "View" permission populate. I also have files in the document library. Am I missing something? I know I can create the permission but if I activated what was suggested in the two links I provided, should the "View" not populate?
Thanks!

Hi scooter4483, You can also create your own permission level that includes all the necessary permissions.
I found a solution with a description of how to do this.
thank you for the reply. I did see the solution you mentioned and the ones I found but wanted to see why the permission level doesn’t populate even after following the instructions for it.
