Group owners are granted full access, while members are granted editing rights. Access to assigned SharePoint content is granted via the same group membership as for Planner, Outlook calendars, or Teams channels. Private or shared channels in Microsoft Teams can only be managed via Teams. SharePoint displays the permissions there in read-only mode.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Communication pages<\/strong>, on the other hand, use classic SharePoint groups. A clear distribution of roles is common, with a few owners with full access, a limited number of members with editing rights, and a large group of visitors with read-only rights. Microsoft recommends administering communication sites centrally and not granting permissions directly to users, but rather using groups, ideally via security groups or Microsoft 365 groups, which are maintained centrally.<\/p>\n<p>For <strong>hub sites<\/strong>, the permission model depends on the type of underlying website. Hub membership is controlled by the administrator in the SharePoint Admin Center. There, you can also specify who is allowed to connect sites to the hub. The permissions of the connected sites remain unaffected.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/my-iam.com\/en\/contact\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"ButtonBeratung2 aligncenter\">Get in touch<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Configure_share_links_specifically\"><\/span>Configure share links specifically<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>SharePoint offers three main link types for sharing individual content:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\u201cEveryone,\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cPeople in the organization,\u201d and<\/li>\n<li>\u201cSpecific people.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Configuration is done at the website level, with the most restrictive setting taking precedence.<\/p>\n<p>Links for \u201cEveryone\u201d allow anonymous access, but are not suitable for environments with increased security requirements.<br \/>\nPerson-specific links (\u201cSpecific people\u201d) require authentication and can be restricted to internal or external partners.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"imgshadow aligncenter wp-image-30051 size-full\" title=\"Share SharePoint permissions\" src=\"https:\/\/my-iam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sharepoint-03-en.png\" alt=\"Share SharePoint permissions\" width=\"677\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/my-iam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sharepoint-03-en.png 677w, https:\/\/my-iam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sharepoint-03-en-300x176.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 677px) 100vw, 677px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that sharing permissions are not associated with every permission level.

In practice, groups are found in various directories, such as Entra ID, the local Active Directory, HR systems, or specialist applications. In many cases, <strong>functionally identical groups exist multiple times<\/strong> with different memberships. This results in inconsistencies, redundant maintenance, and unclear responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>One solution is consolidated management via cross-system platforms:<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/my-iam.com\/en\/realgroup\/\">My-IAM RealGroup<\/a>, a service provided by the my-IAM platform, consolidates group information from various sources, synchronizes it in real time, and makes it available in a structured format for target systems such as SharePoint.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Organizational groups (e.g., \u201cHR department\u201d) can be integrated as well as technical roles (e.g., \u201cProject X, read access\u201d). Changes in source systems are automatically transferred and distributed without delay.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Microsoft 365, other systems can also be connected, including CRM software, content management systems, network infrastructures, and SaaS applications. Centralized group management reduces maintenance effort, increases consistency, and facilitates the auditing of permissions.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"my-IAM_RealGroup_in_the_SharePoint_context\"><\/span>my-IAM RealGroup in the SharePoint context<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Centrally managed groups are integrated into SharePoint using classic SharePoint groups. This allows security groups from Entra ID to be added to the SharePoint member group. All members of the security group are then automatically granted access without having to be managed individually.<\/p>\n<p>A typical use case: A department needs a new site with different roles for management, team leaders, employees, and external parties.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30054 size-large\" title=\"File permissions in SharePoint with my-IAM RealGroup\" src=\"https:\/\/my-iam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Manage-SharePoint-groups-with-my-IAM-1024x375.jpg\" alt=\"File permissions in SharePoint with my-IAM RealGroup\" width=\"1024\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/my-iam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Manage-SharePoint-groups-with-my-IAM-1024x375.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/my-iam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Manage-SharePoint-groups-with-my-IAM-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/my-iam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Manage-SharePoint-groups-with-my-IAM-768x282.jpg 768w, https:\/\/my-iam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Manage-SharePoint-groups-with-my-IAM-1536x563.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/my-iam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Manage-SharePoint-groups-with-my-IAM-2048x751.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Instead of manually maintaining four SharePoint groups, existing groups are transferred from Entra ID and entered via an interface. Updates are performed automatically as soon as group membership changes in the source system.<\/p>\n<p>In conjunction with IAM solutions such as FirstAttribute&#8217;s IDM-Portal, groups can be managed via a graphical user interface. Administrators can view both AD and Entra groups, maintain memberships, and synchronize permissions in connected applications. The platform makes all groups available globally. Users can use them as distribution lists, for calendar invitations, or chats. This creates a consistent and usable group logic without duplicate maintenance or media breaks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Managing file permissions in SharePoint requires more than a one-time configuration. It requires a consistently well-thought-out model consisting of clearly defined groups, traceable inheritance logic, and controlled sharing. Without central control, you risk losing track of everything, with potential implications for security, data protection, and IT compliance.<\/p>\n<p>Technical tools such as group-based access control via Entra ID, SharePoint&#8217;s differentiated permission model, and the integration of consolidating services enable sustainable control. If you want to manage permissions in a traceable, scalable, and auditable manner, centralized group logic is essential.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_about_the_my-IAM_platform\"><\/span>More about the my-IAM platform<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-28423\" title=\"my-IAM platform\" src=\"https:\/\/my-iam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/my-IAM-platform-logo-210x300.png\" alt=\"my-IAM platform\" width=\"110\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/my-iam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/my-IAM-platform-logo-210x300.png 210w, https:\/\/my-iam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/my-IAM-platform-logo.png 491w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 110px) 100vw, 110px\" \/>The my-IAM platform unifies all identities from various source systems and makes them available for applications and apps of all kinds.
