About SharePoint Permission by Rule

Automate item-level access control via workflow and safeguard your sensitive data.

SharePoint Permission by Rule (formerly SharePoint Permission Workflow) offers a productive way for IT administrators to manage item-level permissions among all the users and user groups by streamlining the whole process. With SharePoint Permission by Rule, item-level permissions are able to be automatically assigned to selected users and user groups for all items in a SharePoint list at one time. Administrators are also empowered to apply item-level permissions for the existing items within a list with only one click.

With SharePoint Permission by Rule, item-level permissions are able to be automatically assigned to selected users and user groups for all items in a SharePoint list at one time. Meanwhile, administrators are also empowered to apply item-level permissions for the existing items within a list with only one click.

Moreover, when new items have been created or existing ones being modified, permission levels that previously configured in the Permission Workflow will be automatically assigned to the users and user groups involved. It means administrators, now, are less likely to be distracted from important projects by random assignments, which will considerably increase the time and efforts that can be spent on high-level administrative tasks.

Furthermore, as an intelligent mechanism, SharePoint Permission Workflow enables administrators to achieve the same results as they manipulating the process manually. It allows for specifying certain users and user groups that will be assigned custom permissions by setting fully-customizable conditions according to administrators' own consideration.
