Define a shared security groups for all the sub-sites, that do not have permission on the site collection level

I have created a sub site then I save it as a template. Now I need to define the following permission settings for all the sub sites :-

  1. For all the sub sites to define a shared sub sites' admin group.

  2. Where these subsites admins will have Edit permission on the sub sites, while they will not have any permission on the site collection level.

Now currently I find that I have only these 2 options:-

  1. To define that the sub sites will inherit the permission from the site collection. But in this way the sub site admin will have Edit permission on the site collection also , which I do not want.
  2. To define that each site site have unique permission, so in this way I can define sub sites admins without having permissions on the site collection. But in this case I will have to manage the permission for each sub site separately, baring in mind that all the sub sites will have the same security groups

So can anyone advice how I can defined a shared security groups (Visitors, contributors and full control) for all the sub sites, and at the same time to prevent those security groups from having any permission on the site collection level ?

Thanks

Hi,

According to your description, my understanding is that you want to give all the sub sites Edit permission.

You could create a group with Edit permission in site collection and all the sub sites inherit the permission from the site collection. Then remove Edit permission from the group in site collection.

More detail steps are shown as below:

1.Create a group named SiteEdit in site collection -> Site settings -> People and groups, choose the Edit permission.

2.Stop Inheriting Permissions in all the subsites.

3.In site collection -> Site settings -> Site permissions, choose SiteEdit and click Romove User Permissions.

Hi,

I have tested the solution you provided in my environment and it worked fine. Its a suitable solution for you. By the way, it may be better type simple URL name about the shared sub sites.
