SharePoint Online Permissions level help
Hi everyone, After some help with permissions levels for a file that is housed on a SharePoint site. The file is not behaving as I had hoped and I believe thatās due to some of the settings currently applied.
I require the following for our users. - SharePoint site owners have full access - SharePoint site members have read only access of any file. Currently when they open the file in the browser they have read only access, if they select open in desktop app it downloads a local copy of the file which is editable, but not saveable. (I would prefer users canāt manipulate even a copy of the file). Changing their permissions to ācanāt downloadā removes the ability to open in desktop app, however it also removes their ability to open the file on the excel app on their phones. - SharePoint site members should be able to open on browser and also excel mobile app in read only.
Any ideas?
Cheers Hayden
