How can I get item level permissions settings for a document library in SharePoint 2013. Something like below

item level permissions

I want to create a page where everybody will be able to create/add their post/picture. However I want to show all documents to every user, but the user can edit the properties of their own documents only

This can be done through Power Shell. Below is a sample snippet

$site = Get-SPSite http://<<Site URL>>
$web = $site.RootWeb
$list= $web.Lists["Documents"]
$list.WriteSecurity = 2
$list.Update()

Refer these links for more information about WriteSecurity Property - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.splist.writesecurity.aspx

Similarly you can set the ReadSecurity property as well. Hope this helps.

This can be achieved by creating a workflow by following the below web link.

  • @AsadRefai we don't have any OOB option setup item level permissions for the documents. Even we can't do it with the powershell. We have only option to do with workflow. Using workflow we can replace the permissions once it is created.
