Hello,
My company uses a sharepoint library for each department within it. When a member of staff moves from one department to another, they are given access to the relevant library based on their role profile.
In the department I manage the Sharepoint library, there are certain folders with unique permissions as only certain groups of staff should have access to the information within.
However, when someone is added to the library due to a role change, their permissions to edit the main document library are inherited by all child folders. Unfortunately, in a company of 10,000+ employees it isn't always possible to know when a new member of staff comes to the department and therefore gets access to the SharePoint Library to manually change permissions to prevent them accessing the restricted folder.
Having read some threads on here, it would appear that it isn't anything that can be turned off in Sharepoint and PowerAutomate is needed to break inheritance.
I would assume the ideal solution would be triggered by a new user being added to the team, call it "Finance" for example.
User would be allowed access to edit all folders inside the "Finance" SharePoint library, except those with unique permissions "Restricted" Folders.
Could someone suggest a flow that could accomplish this? M365 is relatively new to our company and it has been left for those of us that know a little more than being able to turn the PC on to figure all of this out!
