How should I go about ensuring that when users access my SharePoint list that they can ONLY see the items that they submitted into the list. Owners of course being the only exception to the rule. I will have users insert items via a form that will update the list however I only want users to see their own forms.

    Hi @Tevon2.0 ,

    You want to implement that users only see items they themselves have submitted to the list, but owners can see everyone's items.

    You can grant edit and below permissions to users who are only allowed to see their own submitted items. Users granted full control permissions can see everyone's items.

    Not sure how above settings are worked for individual item security. May be the list already configured with item level security as below. Else users with read can see all items as per my knowledge..

    List settings > Advanced settings
