If you are a manager of a SharePoint site, you can change permissions for any specific member of the site. You can specify if the member has read and/or view access in the site. This article will show you how to change those permissions for the user for the whole site.
NOTE:
- These instructions are for changing permissions to a member within the entire site (applies only to Communication sites or Teams sites). To change permissions for a specific file or folder, follow this article.
- You must be a Site Owner for the designated SharePoint site
- A member must already exist in the site. If they do not, follow these instructions in this article to add a member.
To change permissions for a member, follow these instructions (Communication site only):
- Navigate to the SharePoint site you want to update permissions for
- On the top-right, click the cog wheel (Settings) and click on Site Permissions
- Click the arrow to the left of Site members to expand the list, find the member you want to edit, and click the arrow underneath their name to change the permissions
- If the user is set to Read permissions, they will be listed under Site visitors
For a Teams Site, individual member permissions cannot be changed. You can only modify the permissions for member groups as a whole. This is the nature of a Teams site.
If a user is not present, you will need to share the site with them. For further issues, please submit a support request.
