I have a basic SharePoint (2013, I think) site (I am a SharePoint novice...) with a List, to which a large number of users have access. All Users need to be able to: - View all Items - Add a new Item

A workflow automatically launches upon Item creation which generates a unique Item 'Reference' (based on the Item ID) and adds this to a 'Ref.' column after Item creation.

Therefore, all Users have been given custom permissions to View, Add and Edit Items in the List.

However, I would like to restrict their access to only be able to Edit Items which THEY have created themselves (not other users' Items).

How can I do this? At the moment, the Users' permissions which allow them to Edit list Items seems to override the List level setting which says 'Edit Items created by the User'.

In Advanced Settings of a Custom List you will have the option to set Item-Level Permissions, if you have a Library this option will not be available.enter image description here

  • Thanks. I have selected this option, however the users still have the ability to Edit all items, including those they did not create. The Group permissions seem to override this List / Item level permission. I need to know if there is a way around this? They need to have Edit access so that the workflow will progress as it has to manipulate a value in the item after saving.
