What's the best way to give a user edit and delete permissions to one Document Library folder?
I have a couple users who need permission to edit and delete files in a specific folder. They should be able to view all documents in the Document Library but only have escalated permissions for spec...
As I've outlined, I'm not using the default permission levels so my "Contribute" doesn't have Edit + Delete.
Good to know about the Advanced option on the bottom! That was a pain to find it through library settings.
Still, this doesn't resolve the issue regarding the error "Content approval is enabled for this library" when it appears that I have this disabled.

Anthony-123 Not sure about why you are getting error related to content approval. But, to rename files in SharePoint user will require delete permissions as well.
Check this for more information: Permission Level which doesn't allow renaming file in document library

Anthony-123 Try turning OFF content approval using PnP PowerShell:
Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/siteName -Interactive Set-PnPList -Identity "Demo List" -EnableModeration $falseElse raise support ticket with Microsoft directly, follow: M365 support - online support

- I'm not sure if this fix it or not. Even though I had given users 'Manage' Permissions for a folder, some of the subfolders had Contribute and some had Manage permissions. I still had to go in and set a particular folder to 'Manage' then all its subfolders and files inherited its permissions.
Either way, thank you for the assistance and pointing me in the right direction! That Advanced button is key.
