Permission levels on Library Folders

I have a client who has a group that she wants to be able to see the whole site but 1 document library; she only wants this group to see 1 folder. I've removed the group from the document library and then added it to the folder but that just adds the group back into the library and the group now sees all 83 folders. Please tell me I don't have to go to all 83 folders and delete this group?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  1. This is a concept of unique permissions. You can manage the permissions @sweb app level, site level, document library as well as list level, Folder level, Single document as well as individual item level also.

    If you hover your mouse to that folder dropdown -> You will see "manage permissions" option -> click on it -> select "break the permission from the parent document library option" ->add the desired group -> and click OK.

    Do the testing and results will be fine. let me know in case of any further queries, Thank you.

  2. Do yourself a favor by stopping the unique permissions management at the list/library level. I am sure you have much better things to do than maintaining the permissions of these folders for the rest of your tenure at this company.

    A better solution for your situation would be to move your folders to libraries. If time permits start using metadata for your content instead of folders.
