I have created new list in SharePoint. with contribute and edit permission user can view and edit data but when i assign only view or Read permission user can not see data. column header is viewable but not the item inside.
from advance setting read access is already selected Read all item.
From the behavior it looks like the draft item security issues.
is version is turn on in this list if yes can you use no version setting and try.
Check the permission levels of the users from site collection. if it is a customized one or not.
Is the permission is inherited from the parent?
How is this list created?
Can you create a new view and ask user if they can see the content?
Any Third party tool used for the permission restriction?
