Creating a unique group for 1 document library
On my SP site, it's read only for everyone but I now need to grant edit access to one Excel file so I created a new document library to store the Excel file. Now I need to give access to that library to only certain users.
I created a new group
I went into the document library and updated it so it would stop inheriting permissions.
I then added the users to that new group.
But now, that group is listed in all of my other document libraries along with the users I added to it. How can I only have that one group appear in that document library?
Bryan365 Did you provide any site permissions to SharePoint group when you created it?
You should not grant any permissions to group on site while creating it:
You can directly grant permissions on library after breaking permissions inheritance: Customize permissions for a SharePoint list or library
