Question on inheritance –
Scenario – I have one SharePoint site and one library. Inheritance is broken at library level. User1 has full control on the site and contribute access on the library. What should happen if I remove user from the site. Should this action remove permission from the document library as well(Inheritance is broken)?
Thanks Edith!! That’s true!! Faced one issue today on inheritance permissions.
Step 1 – Create a new subsite in any site collection and upload a document in document library.
Step 2 – Stop inheriting permissions and Remove all users from the site just to simplify the scenario. Add user1 at site level.
Step 2 – Stop inheriting permissions from document library and add user2 at document library level.
Step 3 – Stop inheriting permissions from document level and add user3 at document level.
Step 4 – Inherit permission at document library level. It inherits the permission only on document library and not for documents inside the library.
Step 5 – Break the inheritance again on document library, Inherit permission on the site. Check the library permission.  It inherits the permission for document library and document as well. It has been inherited from the site automatically (I inherited permissions on the site, not on the library and document)
Step 6 – Check the permissions on the site level. Click on Show me uniquely secured content         Â
It shows Shared Document library name even if shared document library permissions are inherited from the site.
 Click on View exceptions – It shows no item.
Removing the user from the site that the library lives on should remove access from the library.
