Visitor Permissions on a library

Hello,

 

I am trying to have a group on a specific Document library, a visitor groups.

 

But I wonder:

 

Does this group have to be linked also to the subsite above , and the site above all?

 

I mean:

 

Site

     SubSite

            Document Library ( VisitorsCustomGroup )

 

The idea is that that group can only view the documents within that library.

 

 

  • Hi LuisO,

     

    no you can break the permissions. Just navigate to the library settings and choose "Permissions for this document library" --> "Stop inheriting Permissions

     

    Now you can choose your own rights management for just this library

      Thanks a lot. I knew about Stopping inherited Permissions but I thought the user couldn't get through the subsite to reach only that library withour permissions on the subsite. Thanks!
