  • How many directories do you have? I'm not sure breaking inheritance on that many folder level items is wise. Commented May 24, 2022 at 21:11
  • It's a sizable file share that that is being migrated to the cloud. The group permissions are synchronized with AD. Commented May 24, 2022 at 21:34
  • I would recommend more analysis and splitting the folders/files in to many SharePoint sites/libraries according to their purpose in the organisation. Unique permissions on thousands of folders sounds like it will cause a lot of management issues down the line. Commented May 24, 2022 at 23:01
  • Correct - there are approximately 85 top level directories that have been broken down into separate libraries. Due to granularized on site permissions and the fact that fixing the permissions layout is out of my hands I have to work with what I was dealt and insure that there is no likelihood someone may inherit access to inappropriate directories.

  • That's a shame, seems like this definitely requires a rethink of the permissions here. Commented May 25, 2022 at 12:11
