I’m going to delete all the groups and add one owner and everyone else as visitors. Now there are different ways that you can do this depending on who must do what and what AD/ O365 groups you’ve got set up, but we’ll keep this simple for the sake of this blog. If you leave them like that, the permissions won’t change. The 3 default groups are still in there though. You’ll see that the message now changes to say this library has unique permissions. Go to Library Settings.Ĭlick Stop Inheriting permissions and confirm the action. To stop people adding or editing pages, you need to change the permissions on library level. That happens when you’ve created a page but didn’t click Save fast enough. You may see page names with weird info like 6742xR23f. Leave the default “Home” page as is, so you can always revert back to that one and know where you started. You can make any page a home page, so you can run themes on a monthly basis if you need to. Just take the Pages link off the Quick Launch as well. You can make new pages here in the ‘back-end’ where people are highly unlikely to stumble into. I tend to delete the “By Author” view and make the All Pages view the default, then sort the items alphabetically to make them easier to find. There are classic and modern pages available from the New button in here and you can jump between the default views. You can access it from Site Contents either on the Quick Launch to the left, or from the Settings cog on the top right. Pages are embedded into sites and live inside of a document library called Site Pages. It’s the big EDIT button on the home page that understandably freaks out a lot of people.įirst you need to understand where the home page lives. Now let’s talk about the home page of the modern SharePoint sites. It is important to add this to your governance considerations when designing your intranet.

Fixing it is a manual exercise unless you have a PowerShell guru that can write and run scripts for you daily to fix this automatically on every SharePoint site collection.

Try and explain to Security Officers and ISO auditors that all staff in members groups have rights to delete entire libraries full of strategic company information in every single site collection, (this includes all the sites connected to Microsoft Teams). From a data governance and security perspective, this is an issue in my book. Microsoft refuse to acknowledge that this is an issue, I’ve tried many times. It started with SharePoint 2013 on premise, and was just compounded by Office 365 groups. I stand by my viewpoint that this is a fundamental flaw in the permissions model. So you need to change the item level permission instead. However, with Office 365 group connected sites, you can’t. In stand-alone SharePoint, you could have just changed the permission level for the group to contribute with no issues.

And this is the issue – edit rights have the Manage Lists permission level added to it. By default, all people added as members in Teams or SharePoint, get added to a SharePoint Members Group which has edit rights on it. Let’s start with the issue with edit rights. It’s a huge undertaking getting your head around it all. There are 13 admin centres in Office 365, 45 administrator levels 4 different SharePoint templates, 4 additional permission levels 3 different Teams templates then add Office 365 groups into the mix. Permissions in the modern SharePoint / Teams cloud continue being a huge headache in most people’s lives.
