I have a user whose permission level to a certain subsite is customized.
I'm currently investigating about user permissions and I found out that the minimum permission in order to download a file in SharePoint browser is the View items
permission.
However, downloading Office files (like docx, xlsx, pptx
) gives me an Unauthorized Access
error, so I investigated again and I found out that it needs the Open Items
permission together with the View Items
permission in order to download any kind of files (including Office files).
My question is: What is in the Open Items
permission that make the Unauthorized Access
error not occur in downloading Office files?
Or what is the Office files that makes an error when permission is only View Items
?
