Final
Change File Permissions
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services provides the ability to control permissions down to the document level. If you
have sensitive information stored in a document or folder, and you do not want to expose the information to all
members of a site, you can specify permissions for the folder/document. You can grant or revoke permissions to a
document library, folder, or document by: individual users, by groups of users, or by site group.
Managing permissions at the document level is cumbersome and should be avoided when possible.
Depending upon your level of access, you may be able to only manage permissions for items belonging to you.
