- In case you want to create unique permissions for a file or a folder that are different from the SharePoint Site's permissions, I explain how to achieve this in this video. For more information, feel free to reference this post: sharepointmave...

I spent hours trying to find how to 'HIDE' files rather than share them, and you explained exactly how to do it. Thank you for your simple explanation!🙏🏻
You are very welcome! Happy to hear my video helped you!
Excellent explanation. That's very important. It is a constant doubt that companies have. Thank you!!!
Thank you.
Excellent video, perfectly explained
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure, I appreciate the kind comments!
thank you!!! super easy to understand. you saved me a lot of time.
Happy to hear, my pleasure.
Nice video. I have a question with regards to permissions and views.
Say I have a private folder that is limited to users A and B, and it is filled with files. I have given permissions for one of the files in the private folder to user C. Is there a way that I can allow user C to navigate to view that file in the private folder, but see nothing else?
Currently, user C can only access the file via the share link
No, you cannot. If you want user to navigate to the file via folders, you need to give access to those folders to the user (at least view only) so user can click and navigate
@@SharePointMaven Thank you for the incredibly quick reply. Devastating news, but amazing response
Do subfolder in invoice folder inherit permission from invoice folder
Yes they do
Great video. Can you do the same for MS Teams and how you might restrict or grant edit permissions to members of the Team? The MS Teams owner/member groups make that situation a little more complicated than the standard SharePoint Online scenario.
Actually it is the same steps since Team Members Groups is part of SharePoint Members Group
I have a question: Is there anyway to remove "access request" from the file I sent. I want my colleague to open and view the file I sent without asking them for Access request
Not possible
Thanks for the great content, really appreciate the update. Can you grant access to a document to people outside the site that have a link to the document from a Email News Post?
You are welcome, thanks for the kind comments. It does not matter where the link is located (page, news post, email). As long as link was generated by Copy Link with specific access encoded - it will work.
Thanks so much for clarifying. Have to say it’s pretty hard to find content as clear and concise as yours. It makes the SharePoint experience less daunting. Keep up the great work!❤
@@co-designconnection3131 Thanks for the kind comments, will do!
In your example, if the folder is hidden from the user then would that user be able to see it in the site level search?
No, it is completely hidden/invisible
Thanks Maven. But this is not applying to sub folders. How can I do this for a subfolder?
Yes, unique permissions apply to subfolders as well.
You can turn off site sharing so only owners have permissions to do it. Its under site permissions, site sharing, change how members can share
Unique permissions can only be set up by Site Owners. Site Sharing settings are only for sharing.
@@SharePointMaven I had a situation where I was adding members. I thought it was restricted. I didn't realise that those members could share the site by default thus allowing others into the site. Those users were visible in the classic permissions screen. I now make sure the site cannot be shared by members and only by owners.
Those granular access permissions are as you describe and I thank you for always sharing your knowledge with these videos.

Thank you.
