Groups Folder Permissions

Here's how you can change who can access a document or folder in Office 365 Groups.

NOTE:  You must be an Owner of the group to change access, not just a member.

Select the folder in the Documents Library.

Click on the i for the information button on the top right

Here, you can click on Manage Access

This shows a list of people and groups who have access to this resource.  Click on Advanced at the end of this list.  Advanced will only show to those that have Owner level access.

To make changes to access, choose Stop Inheriting Permissions

A confirmation dialogue box will pop up.  Click OK to confirm.

You will now have the option to change what access people and groups have.  You can Remove, Edit, Grant, and Check permission levels.  Or roll back any changes and set back to the parent folder permissions with Delete unique permissions.

To Remove a person or group permissions, select the tick box next to the group and click Remove User Permissions

 To Modify the permissions a member or group has, select the tick box next to the group and click Edit User Permissions. Here you can change what access the group has.  Choose which access level to give and click OK

Grant Permissions button brings up a standard Share dialogue box.  Type a name or group to add, then choose which level of access to give.

The Check Permissions button allows you to check what level of access a person or group has to the folder.  Type in the user or Group and press Check Now.

To roll back any special permissions and set back to the parent folder permissions, choose Delete unique permissions.
