How to configure SharePoint Permissions

how to restrict access to site collection for admins or site owners , for instance Audit Department Site contains sensitive data and info which should not be accessed on by Audit members , not even SharePoint site collection admin or farm admin or owner can access and view the contents , how to do that , for on premises SharePoint 2019 for instance?

Nice basic video, would have liked to see you discuss library permissions and individual file / folder sharing, OneDrive and its SharePoint Back-end, etc.

Excellent video, thanks!

Thank you for this video, it’s exactly what I was looking for. If everyone can see the site, is there a way to restrict access to certain folders?

Hi and thanks for the videos, i've subscribed.
Question: how do site permissions work when you only want certain webparts or navigation links on a specific page to be accessible by certain people? This will be my main focus when 'trying' to design a new company intranet site from the ground up, mainly using all your video guides :)
So for example the HR site has navigation that includes: POLICIES, STAFF NEWS, PERSONNEL. Now everyone should have read-access to the first 2, but PERSONELL should be restricted to HR senior staff only. How do you drill down the permissions for that? And once done will that navigation link only show for those with permission to access it? (think folder enumeration).
Thanks again.

Does this all apply with Teams in front?

Hello, my antivirus showed me that there are sharepoint internet links going out from my device but I don't even have sharepoint enabled. What does it mean?

Where is site owner and design permission?

Hi Dougie, You are the first one to actually show how security groups can be used, albeit briefly, which I will now follow up and see what can be done. I have had 2 IT Companies fall to understand groups & group permissions, allocating resources on an individual name basis. I have just spent time allocating resources on exchange on a group basis and now will complete this with SharePoint permissions. It would be great if you considered showing everybody how to create sites based on SharePoint permissions so that no individual names, apart from Owners are used. Thanks for your time in creating this information.

Hi, a good video, mainly because it was easy to follow and you are from the UK not another location in the world where sometimes I struggle to understand actually what is being said if you get my drift! Take that as a compliment. I would agree with the other comment below that advised about the background noise, not sure where you recorded it, but it may be better to find a better location and close all windows, those often catch me out when recording videos. The video is standard SharePoint permission practice, but what if "you dont want people to use edit only to contribute to sites, ie., not be able to create new lists, libraries"? What if you "don't want everyone in the company to look at the site's"? What about "filling out the access request settings" box, who sees those emails? The default is the members group, if you are not using that group as it has edit access, who should it go to? All potential extra videos for you it seems if not already created. My concern though is that your video is telling folk how SharePoint online should work, but in reality how many sites actually are set up this way? Less than 1% would be my guess.

Hi Dougie, great video but there is a constant popping background noise which is annoying.
