    Thank you for this clear and detailed explanation of SharePoint permissions. I needed this to resolve an active problem. Awesome job!
  • @vladimiribarra13
    In my modest opinion, this is the best possible tutorial related to permission in SharePoint. Great job, keep moving forward.
  • @user-ii9uj3ly9r
    Realy clear explanation! I would say its very seldom to her a clear speach (not fast for non native english speaking)! Thanks! and looking forward for new videos!
  • Well details explanation about clear and detailed explanation of SharePoint permissions...😄
  • @chriswho6794
    I know this is an older video and a lot of things have changed a bit with SharePoint and Teams over the years. That must've been hard giving your presentation while staying consistent in the naming terminology of everything. 365 group permissions vs SP group permissions, permissions, vs permission levels, for example. You did a great job trying to explain the intricacies and complexities of SP permissions. I will look for other videos of yours to see how this all tangles with MS Teams permissions, and what is the best way to manage all this.
  • I need to see again & agin to get more controll , but realy well explaned...Thank you....
  • @Hira12531
    Thank you for the videos. Please do more on folder free structure using document sets and meta data. Thank you very much. You are amazing!
  • @MoanaRasst
    I ask you to help in a question of work with Sharepoint. Documents have been saved to the desktop through synchronization. If you accidentally delete a large number of documents and return them using the button, how does this operation appear in the system? Can it show in the system that the documents were allegedly resent somewhere, instead of being deleted? Is it possible to resend documents at once directly from Sharepont or do I need to download them first? Moreover, the computer and all programs are protected and only the administrator has full access. I am in despair, because they say that I transferred documents to an unknown destination, but I did not send anything anywhere.
  • @alexcano5163
    Hi, looking for some clarification here, what if I only have SharePoint Online stand alone plan, do I still get the capability and eligibility to create groups? Or do I need to be in a bundle suite that includes Exchange online ?
  • @KirahDaw
    Thank you very much for putting light into this topic! Question, when you create a new group, does the new group have access to resources or not?
  • @Ksra09
    First time viewer of one of your vids. Very clearly presented ! So i can create a Team site called ABC which then creates a M365 group of the same name, with users ABC1, ABC2 .. to ABC 15. I can then add that M365 group of 15 people as a 'Member' individually to each of several sites (ie.. DEF, HJK, PQR). And the owner(s) of that ABC Team can manage the membership of that Team and the connected Group. The Azure AD group creation and modification (ie..to add/remove a member) must be done by an Administrator ...correct ? So this 'access to group modification' would be a primary driver of which type of group you choose. In many cases you would not want to involve the administrator each time someone left or was added to the PAYROLL team. Would i be correct on this ..or am i missing something ?

    This video is really excellent! My requirement is grant access to users to a Sharepoint Online list which they appear in some list items with their mails in a field of the row and they only should see and edit their entries. Probably a good level permission definition could not be good enough to reach it and maybe a Power Automate flow must be perform in place. What's your opinion, Tosh?.
  • Hi Sir, Thank you very much for the good detailed instruction. Can I grant all members of a website permission for all resource services (MS Teams, O4B, Planner etc. from Microsoft 365) but change the permissions in the libraries so that only certain people can access-edit certain folders and documents and the remaining members either have read rights or have no access. Thank you for your reply.
  • Hi Toshit. Thanks for helping the community with this such an important subject which we can find very little info on. It seems that there is still difficulty in understanding the various approaches. For example ( without even going intoto 'Teams", it looks like we can ( or rather must ) add 'External guest's via Azure Ad. what is then still NOT clear , while Sharepoint creates its 'own' groups ( owners, members & visitors) we can either assign them directly from the AZURE AD external users list or if not, add them one by one directly in the Sharepoint groups and assign them permissions individually ?. What would be the purpose of setting all the 'Access' restrictions' via the Sharepoint Admin center. I am sorry but is very confusing. I think this time around MS couldn't have made it more complicated (LOL) !. Any comments on my concerns. Many Thanks Regards Martin

    Nice video. I have doubt how to protect the particular folder that we already created.
