Hide folders from users

Hi,

Is there a way to hide folders from certian users and show the rest? I want to be able to use sharepoint as a reference point for my clients to show their service history but not see other clients folders.

I am using sharepoint online office 365 version.

Thank you in advance

You can manage permissions at folder level. Break the inheritance and provide access to users you need.

Breaking inheritance at folder level can become a maintenance nightmare depending on the volume of data and users.

Hi RDWEB,

I agree with bharath,  you need to break the inheritance of the folder and provide access to users you need.

Choose the folder->Files ribbon, choose Shared With->Advanced:

Then Stop Inheriting Permissions,  after that you can set unique permission for the folder.

Note: do not remove user from the group, that will remove the user's permission of all site collection, just remove the group and provide access to users you need.

Have a nice day!
