Hi Daniel, Thanks for the video. This will be helpful for a use case that I have been trying to solve for some time. Out of curiosity, are there APIs available via graph that could make this change programmatic? For example, with integration with D365, when an Account is created a SharePoint document library folder. Based on the create trigger, i'd like to go break inheritance and then add the M365 group the person is a part of and only allow them Contributor access and everyone else as denied.

Excellent video, thank you so much. Do you know if it is possible to allow Edit in Grid View to only specific folders in a library through permission levels?

[@miguelrebelo3225]

This is really great! Thank you. Is there any way to provide this type of access to the whole library or is it only available for folders within the library? Can't seem to figure out how to do it for the whole doc library

@daniel brilliant as usual..😀. What about the column - Shared With in view will it be updated to follow the updates when access is changed on an a folder or item?

[@DanielAndersonAU]

This column is actually being removed

Hi Daniel and thank you for your presentation. What about the concept if we are more than 2 sharePoint Owners and I would like to limited the access to the other owners. Is taht possible?

Thanks for the great videos. Do you know how to change multiple folder permission to an existing set of folders in a document libray using Power Automate of Powershell. We need to find all folders (say finance) within a library, break the inheritance and then add a security group (called managers). Hope that makes sence. Any help would be great.

Thanks for the video. I already know how to set SP permissions but I get frustrated when I have a folder structure IE folder root/folder1/folder2/folder3 and so on where I would like to delete unique permissions on each subfolder at once as a batch . I normally have to traverse the folder structure one folder/subfolder at a time to delete the unique permissions for each folder. This is very time consuming, Do you know of a SP third party software with a nice GUI that would allow me to do this? What about powershell commands? Sometimes I may have many subfolders under a root folder and would like to select let's say multiple folders then assign the same SP group permissions to all of them. The current interface only allows you to manage access a folder at a time. Thank you.

Microsoft recommends managing permissions via the default M365 group associated with the team or SharePoint teamsite and not break inheritance or give access directly to the folder. It adds complexity and can easily get messy like file server permissions. I tend to side with Microsoft; keeping it simple.

[@DanielAndersonAU]

Yep absolutely there are time though when there may be exceptions

Thank - although you should have added that the Owners group can never be removed (kind of logic as it destroys all possibilities of future rights management).
