Hi Dougie, You are the first one to actually show how security groups can be used, albeit briefly, which I will now follow up and see what can be done. I have had 2 IT Companies fall to understand groups & group permissions, allocating resources on an individual name basis. I have just spent time allocating resources on exchange on a group basis and now will complete this with SharePoint permissions. It would be great if you considered showing everybody how to create sites based on SharePoint permissions so that no individual names, apart from Owners are used. Thanks for your time in creating this information.
Nice basic video, would have liked to see you discuss library permissions and individual file / folder sharing, OneDrive and its SharePoint Back-end, etc.

Hi, a good video, mainly because it was easy to follow and you are from the UK not another location in the world where sometimes I struggle to understand actually what is being said if you get my drift! Take that as a compliment. I would agree with the other comment below that advised about the background noise, not sure where you recorded it, but it may be better to find a better location and close all windows, those often catch me out when recording videos. The video is standard SharePoint permission practice, but what if "you dont want people to use edit only to contribute to sites, ie., not be able to create new lists, libraries"? What if you "don't want everyone in the company to look at the site's"? What about "filling out the access request settings" box, who sees those emails? The default is the members group, if you are not using that group as it has edit access, who should it go to? All potential extra videos for you it seems if not already created. My concern though is that your video is telling folk how SharePoint online should work, but in reality how many sites actually are set up this way? Less than 1% would be my guess.
Hi Sally, thanks for the great feedback. There certainly is food for thought there for future videos. Your right that not every type of permissions scenario is covered in this video. This is for two reasons, because I try to keep all my videos under ten minutes long to make them short and punchy. The second being my target audience is complete beginners. Someone that has just started using Microsoft 365 and just needs a high level touch of what permissions are to start with to contextualise a term they might of heard elsewhere. If this video is popular I’d plan on making more specific content regarding locking down areas, folder permissions, external access etc. Thanks again for your comment! 😃

Hi Dougie, I've built a company intranet following your excellent guide but I'm having a bit of an issue with permissions. I've granted access to a group of people to the main hub site but their access doesn't seem to apply to the associated department sites. I've selected 'Sync hub permissions to associated sites' under Cog icon > Site Permissions > Hub but that doesn't seem to make any difference. Am I missing something? Doing something wrong? The only way I can see to do it at the moment would be to manually add ~50 users to around 20 department sites, which seems very labour intensive! Thanks in advance
The syncing is not always reliable. I’d often use a combination of out of the box and custom built azure AD groups to manage permissions. My company offers consulting services for this if you would like help contact us here Www.valto.co.uk/DW
Dougie, if I have a Document Library that contains audit reports and I want to restrict access, how do I set up a group of people that I can add to and take away? Do you have a video on that?
@@Boxlopper you would need to make a folder or library with broken inheritance permission, create either a SharePoint group or a 365 group and give that group access. Manage the users in the group
Hi, an excellent video. I have a question. I made a share point site. It has a landing/home page, on which I have only added a banner and quick links to other pages. Each quick link corresponds to one department e.g. HR, Finance, Logistics etc. Now i want HR People to come to home page and when they click on HR quick link they are directed to HR page. I don't want HR to enter into Finance page when clicking on Finance Quick link and vice versa. In this example, how should i manage permissions. Please guide.
@@ahiqtidar Hey, you need to change the permissions on each of the department sites so that only members of the department have access to the prevalent permissions group. BUT everyone will still see every single link on the homepage of your SharePoint intranet unless you use target audiences to hide the links based on department security groups. I’d typically do this in the Hub navigation bar rather than with quick links
Hi and thanks for the videos, i've subscribed. Question: how do site permissions work when you only want certain webparts or navigation links on a specific page to be accessible by certain people? This will be my main focus when 'trying' to design a new company intranet site from the ground up, mainly using all your video guides :) So for example the HR site has navigation that includes: POLICIES, STAFF NEWS, PERSONNEL. Now everyone should have read-access to the first 2, but PERSONELL should be restricted to HR senior staff only. How do you drill down the permissions for that? And once done will that navigation link only show for those with permission to access it? (think folder enumeration). Thanks again.

Hi! Is it possible to give different access to Pages / list on One site? We use sharepoint for collecting data for system upgrades. After each update users must only have read access to that page and a new page/list is added with edit permission for next update
@@charles5a a security group is just a list of people that can be used to give access to something. A 365 group contains a security group but it can also have other things attached to it including a SharePoint team site, Microsoft Team, group mailbox, planner plan etc
@@Dougie_Wood Thanks for the reply. This is clear. I wish there's an overview somewhere of the different security access options in 365. A classic pitfall of Microsoft has always been toprovide multiple feature that "almost" do the same thing, but leave users trying to figure out which to use. We're a small company, but have stringent security requirements for our data because we're global and some data cannot be shared across regions. So, we're managing these limited access data in different SharePoint sites (mostly interested in the file folders). But, also some sites only accessible by job functions (accounting, engineering, etc.) Managing all that with explicit user access has been a nightmare, so I'm planning to change by collecting users into different overlapping groups, and giving Teams & SharePoint access to the right group(s). So, a user can be put in the following groups: Executive, Engineering, and North America. And then allowed access to any SharePoint site that wants these groups to access it.
how to restrict access to site collection for admins or site owners , for instance Audit Department Site contains sensitive data and info which should not be accessed on by Audit members , not even SharePoint site collection admin or farm admin or owner can access and view the contents , how to do that , for on premises SharePoint 2019 for instance?
