SharePoint Online permission conflicts

We have some groups of people that these groups have some overlaps. When we give a group with full permission on Sharepoint, some people on that group may have different permission because the other group is for example read only access. My question is which permission would be the final permission. Is the more access or the limited access for that?

We need those group for the flow and Power Automate so we cant change those groups.

    Hi @Neda Khanaki,

    The more access would be the final permission. In your case, if a user was granted with full control permission level by A group and read only permission level by B group, then this user will have full control permission level in this site. The higher level of permission always takes precedence.
