The following factors also affect the level of access for user (i:0#.f|membership|user@example.com)
Hi all I've serendipitously come across some implicit permissions on SharePoint. I made a new subsite for someone and assured them that only they could access it. While I was doing the usual checks, I noticed some high profile user having unfettered access to this new subsite I created, as per the subject above. I checked somewhere online where some suggested to check the the Site Collection Administrators and only myself are listed here so I started becoming very baffled. What is very strange, is that I, being a Site Collection Admin, do not have this level of unfettered access. If I don't don't have explicit permission to access a site, I don't have access. But this one staff member does! Just look at this... I thought for sure that this user must have some form of admin permissions somewhere, but where? I then found, more shockingly, that four other staff members also have this super permission status! These are low rank staff that never had, and never will have any admin permissions at all whatsoever and they are able to access highly sensitive information on our entire SharePoint site! Does anyone know what is going on here and how I could possibly remediate this and hopefully prevent anyone else from gaining these seemingly implicit super powers? Thanks for reading Steven
