Hello,

I am creating a library where employees submit their travel expenses for the pay period. Many employees don't want others to see what they are submitting. A few employees need to see all of the submissions. 

What are the steps I have to take to allow users to see only the the forms they submitted and nothing else. At the same time, what are the steps needed so that a few employees can see all of the forms.

Thanks

Andrew

Are you able to use a List (with attachments) instead of a Library? With a List this is fairly easy, simply go to List Settings -> Advanced Settings -> under Read Access, select Read items that were created by the user.

With a standard Document Library, you would need to create a Workflow or Event Receiver that revokes permission to all others except the specific user(s). More complicated, and it also has it's limits.

If you do go the List route, you can give the users you want to have see everything the Manage List right, which overrides the advanced setting.
