Sharepoint file element

Note that inheriting permissions from the parent discards any unique permissions that may have been created for this securable object, such as unique SharePoint groups or permission level assignments that was created at this securable object while using unique permissions.

On the Customize page, in the Permissions and Management column, click Permissions for this list or Permissions for this document library. The Permissions page displays all users and SharePoint groups associated with this library and their assigned permission levels. The page description describes the inheritance status for this securable object.

Also, check boxes appear next to the Name column if unique permissions are being used for this securable object. If check boxes do not appear next to the user and group names on the Permissions page, permissions are being inherited from a parent securable object. If your list or library is inheriting permissions, you must first stop inheriting permissions to edit permission levels on this securable object.

Select the check boxes for the users and SharePoint groups on which you want to edit permission levels on this securable object. In the Choose Permissions section, select the permission levels you want, clear those you do not want, and then click OK. Use the following steps to edit the permission levels of selected users and SharePoint groups associated with a folder, document, or list item. Open the list or library that contains the folder, document, or list item, on which you want to edit permission levels.

Click the drop-down menu to the right of the folder, document, or list item on which you want to edit permission levels, and then click Manage Permissions. The Permissions : Securable object name page displays all users and SharePoint groups at this securable object and their assigned permission levels. Also, check boxes appear next to the Names column if unique permissions are being used for this securable object.

After you've broken permissions inheritance between a site, folder, list, library, list item, or document and its parent, you can restore inheritance at any time. On the Customize page, in the Permissions and Management column, click Permissions for this document library or Permissions for this list. The Permissions: Securable object name page displays all users and SharePoint groups and their assigned permission levels that are applied on this securable object.

Open the list or library which contains the folders, document, or list item for which you want to view users and SharePoint groups. Rest the pointer on the folder, document, or list item for which you want to view permissions, click the arrow that appears, and then click Manage Permissions. The Permissions : Securable object name page displays all users and SharePoint groups and their assigned permission levels that are applied on this securable object.

Use the following steps to add users to an existing SharePoint group that is currently associated with a particular list or library. If the securable object you are configuring is using unique permissions, you can also add users directly to this securable object with the permissions you want, or add existing SharePoint groups to this list with the permissions you want.

Note: If permissions are being inherited from the parent securable object, you cannot add users or SharePoint groups directly to the securable object. In this case, you can only add users to existing SharePoint groups. However, if you create unique permissions for the securable object, you can then add users.

The Permissions page displays all users and SharePoint groups associated with this list or library and their assigned permission levels.

Note: If check boxes do not appear next to the user and group names on the Permissions page, permissions are being inherited from a parent securable object. In this case, users and SharePoint groups that you add are also added to the parent which this securable object inherits those permissions from. If unique permissions are being used not inheriting from the parent , users and SharePoint groups you add to this securable object only affect this securable object and any other entities that inherit permissions from this securable object.

Note: The New menu does not appear if the list or library inherits permissions from its parent site. In this case, on the Actions menu, click Edit Permissions , and then click OK to confirm that you want to create unique permissions.

In the Add Users section, specify the users and SharePoint groups you want to add to this securable object. In the Give Permission section, either add the users to an existing SharePoint group or give them permission directly to the securable object and select one or more of the check boxes to give these users the permissions you want on this securable object.

If permissions are being inherited from the parent securable object, you cannot add users or SharePoint groups directly to this securable object. Rather, you can only add users to an existing SharePoint group. You cannot add a SharePoint group to another SharePoint group. If you added a SharePoint group in step 5, you must select Give users permission directly.

Use the following steps to add users to an existing SharePoint group that is currently associated with a particular folder, document, or list item.

In this case, you can only add users to existing SharePoint groups that are currently associated with this securable object. Open the list or library which contains the folder, document, or list item on which you want to add users or SharePoint groups. Rest the pointer on the folder, document, or list item on which you want to add users or SharePoint groups, click the arrow that appears, and then click Manage Permissions.

The Permissions page displays all users and SharePoint groups and their assigned permissions levels that are applied on this securable object.

Note: The page description describes the inheritance status for this securable object. If unique permissions are being used not inheriting from the parent , users and SharePoint groups you add to this securable object only affect this securable object and any other entities inheriting from this securable object.

In the Give Permission section, either add the users to an existing SharePoint group or give them permission directly on the securable object and select one or more of the check boxes to give these users the permissions you want on this securable object. Instead, you can only add users to an existing SharePoint group. This procedure can only be performed from a list or library that is inheriting permissions from its parent site. Note: Regardless of your starting point, all SharePoint groups are created on the site collection level.

This means that all SharePoint groups are available to all sites within the site collection. In the Permissions and Management column, click Permissions for this document library or Permissions for this list. The Permissions page displays all users and SharePoint groups assigned to this list or library and their assigned permission levels.

If the list or library is inheriting permissions from the parent, on the Actions menu, click Manage Permissions of Parent.

Otherwise, you cannot create a SharePoint group from this list or library. On the New Group page, specify the settings for your new SharePoint group, including the permission levels you want to assign to it, and then click Create. After creating the new SharePoint group, you go to the People and Groups page, where you can add users to your new SharePoint group.

Use the following steps to create a new SharePoint group and assign it to a folder, document, or list item. This procedure can only be performed from a folder, document, or list item that is inheriting permissions from its parent site. Rest the pointer on the folder, document, or list item on which you want to create a new SharePoint group, click the arrow that appears, and then click Manage Permissions. The Permissions page displays all users and SharePoint groups and their assigned permission levels that are applied on this securable object.

On the New Group page, specify the settings for your new SharePoint group, including the permission levels you want to assign to it and then click Create. By default, lists and libraries inherit permissions from the parent site. Use the following steps if you want to break this inheritance and create unique permissions on a particular list or library. Note that all unique permission level assignments are also discarded from folders in lists and libraries, list items, and documents within the list or library when you choose to re-inherit permissions.

Open the list or library in which you want to break inheritance from the parent securable object. In the Permissions and Management column, click Permissions for this list or Permissions for this document library. The Permissions : Securable object name page displays all users and SharePoint groups for this securable object and their assigned permission levels. Note: The Edit Permissions option is not available on the Actions menu if this securable object has unique permissions that are not being inherited from the parent securable object.

By default, folders, documents, and list items inherit permissions from their parent securable object. In most cases, this means that they inherit their permissions from the list or library that contains them. In the case where folders, documents, and list items are contained by other folders, they would, by default, inherit permissions from the folder that contains them.

Use the following steps if you want to break this inheritance and create unique permissions on a particular folder, document, or list item. Note that inheriting permissions from the parent discards any unique permissions that may have been created for this securable object, such as unique SharePoint groups or permission level assignments that were created at this securable object while using unique permissions.

Open the list or library that contains the folder, document, or list item on which you want to break inheritance from the parent securable object.

Rest the pointer on the folder, document, or list item on which you want to break inheritance, click the arrow that appears, and then click Manage Permissions.
