I'm working on a branding site that allows anonymous users. By default it allows read access too all lists and libraries.
There are a few forms that gather information, and I want to allow anonymous users to add data, but they should not be able to view the list. I don't see any concept of 'deny' permissions.
This doesn't apply to all lists, just a few.
How is this done?
Thanks.
Edit
hmm, looks like on publishing sites that anonymous access to the forms sections is disabled by default.
http:///Lists//AllItems.aspx gives me a 401 unauthorized. That's good! Any danger here that I'm not aware of?
You can hide the list also, you can break inheritence on the list and assign custom permissions

I have a demo page for a web part, so I want a permission level where user can modify web parts using tool part but cannot delete it so other users will also be able to see it. And I also don't want them to access site settings and contents.
I think best way is to create target audience rules and compile them. As the rules may either ON security group membership or user profile property values.

So, I've been working in SharePoint, and I want to restrict access to a column in a list in SharePoint, but I found that is not supported.
I have a type of incident management, where you create an incident, and it gets prioritized and moved around using workflows, and what I want to do is have an administrator of some sorts approve the incident, before it gets prioritzed and stuff. So my idea was simple, just have a field called 'approved' and a choice of true/false, and restrict the access of the field to an admin.
Are there any known workarounds for this, or do you have an idea I could try to get some what the same result?
Create an InfoPath form for your list, then have the "Approved" option only visible to your administrators. You could hard code the administrators into the form, or configure the form to use a SharePoint permission group.
I have a Sharepoint library that is too large for a central administrator to manage permissions on all items, so I want to designate a few other people who are able to allow or disallow read/write access for arbitrary items in the library to users or groups. However, I don't want to give those few people total "manage permissions" ability because I don't want them granting themselves or others full control or design permissions, etc.
Is there a way to grant "manage only read/write permission"? Or is there a better way of accomplishing what I'm trying to do?
Thanks!
This question pops up all the time, and I haven't been able to find an answer that immediately makes the asker happy.
I usually suggest that you stay away from item-level permissions, and instead create libraries pretty much mapping to groups. make a library for your Company X accountants, make a "Accountants at Company X" group, give them rights to that library. You should be able to trust them enough that they get to manage their own document library. If not, keeping the permissions on a per-library basis will make the workload much less, and the site administrator(s) can most likely handle the permissions on these libraries. If you want to make it easier for them, just create a formal workflow where a user can apply for access and an administrator grant it.
There are other ways, of course, but you're pointing at one of the major reasons you should stay away from item-level security. It's just a can of worms that you need to avoid opening if at all possible.
Maybe you can try the third party tool: SharePoint Permission Manager by SharePointBoost. You can search, analyze, manage and backup SharePoint users or group permissions on a centralized platform.
I don't think there is a specific permission that meets your needs for one site. I think your best option may be to split into sites or libraries you can allow others to manage for your central administrator.
Here's a related excerpt from the TechNet article, [Plan Permissions][1], that may help you more:
Users or groups are assigned a
permission level for a specific
securable object: site, list, library,
folder, document, or item. By default,
permissions for a list, library,
folder, document, or item are
inherited from the parent site or
parent list or library. However,
anyone assigned a permission level for
a particular securable object that
includes the Manage Permissions
permission can change the permissions
for that securable object. By default,
permissions are initially controlled
at the site level, with all lists and
libraries inheriting the site
permissions. Use list-level,
folder-level, and item-level
permissions to further control which
users can view or interact with the
site content. You can return to
inheriting permissions from a parent
list, the site as a whole, or a parent
site, at any time.
Can i program custom base permission level? There are many available in SPBasePermissions like
UseRemoteAPIs Use SOAP, WebDAV, or Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007 interfaces to access the Web site.
ViewFormPages View forms, views, and application pages, and enumerate lists.
ViewListItems View items in lists, documents in document libraries, and view Web discussion comments.
However i want to make a custom one, something like:
EditItemsAssignedToMe + ViewItemsAssignedToMe + view/edit items i created.
Still finding my way out to allow users view and edit items created by them or assigned to them.
OOTB you don't have the fine-grained control and can only assign a certain set of permissions as defined on technet and this blog article.
However programmatically you can create a new SPRoleDefinition and assign it the appropriate permissions based on the SPBasePermissions enumeration as per this blog article. You might also want to read this short guide on the basics of SPBasePermissions.
If you want to go even further though and emulate the OOTB behaviour with your own custom permission set try Implementing Custom Security Rights in SharePoint.
How can I set the permissions for a site where I have access to do everything but NOT view documents?
Thank you.
I'm Kevin and I'm responsible for permissions in SharePoint
In SharePoint, you can grant permissions to a user or group via what we call "permission levels" - essentially sets of permissions. Out of the box we include a few of these like "Read" and "Contribute" and "Design".
It sounds like you want to provide some users with the ability to do more than the Read permission level allows, but disallow the viewing of documents. To accomplish this, you could create a new permission level (site settings > advanced permissions > permission levels). Note: we restrict permission levels from including adding or editing items without the ability to view them

Your question is slightly confusing, I'm taking it to mean, you want to stop certain users (or groups of users from accessing documents hosted in your site. (Where you are the site administrator.)).
To do that go into each library, go to settings, then document library settings, permissions for this document library and restrict them as appropriate.
