Securing the Notebook

Iron Contributor

This morning I discovered that all the sections and pages in a group notebook had vanished! After I'd calmed down, I found the missing pages in the recycle bin.

Is it possible to make the notebook attached to a group read only by members other than the owner?

 

Cheers

The only way would be to go into the Site Assets library where the OneNote file is stored and manually change the permissions.
Ideally users should be trained as to the benefits of their collaboration power, but also the dangers such as this scenario.
Thanks Loryan. Job done! Ideally, yes agreed but I'm with Douglas Adams when he said: "The thing about completely foolproof things is that the inventors under-estimate the ingenuity of complete fools!"
