SharePoint, WSS & MOSS: Inheretance permission and breaking the permission
ISSUE:
=======
== We have a SharePoint site
== We created a new SharePoint site with unique permissions
== We Went to site permission of this site and added user with [READ] permission.
== We went to document library settings now ==> Clicked on permission for this document library –> and added the user there
== When we inherit the permission ==> it works fine
== but after breaking the inheritance also we are able to browse the shared documents wherein we are supposed to get access denied.
== That means users could view parts of their SharePoint website when the user does not have access to the site/list.
RESOLUTION:
===========
== Enabled the Anonymous access on the web application level
== Went to the settings of top level site to see how Anonymous access was enables
== Found that Anonymous access was enabled for entire site
== Change it to “nothing” and disabled the Anonymous access .
== Disable the Anonymous access from the web application level
== Checke the issue and it should working as expected.
