Is it possible to give specific members within the MS Team access to view some files and not other members?

Question

I have been asked whether we can give access to certain members of a MS Team access to view a file and not to others?

I've had a look and the Manage Access feature on a file/ folder and it seems to only look at the users role eg. Member vs Owner. Would that be correct?

Hi @Kimberley B

If you want to edit permission for files in a team, you could do it on the team's SharePoint Online site.

• Move to SharePoint Online Library

• click ... next to a file to customize permission and click Manage Access
• click ... on the right top of the window and click Advanced settings

• click Stop inheriting Permissions on the ribbon menu
• Click Grant Permissions and add people, select a permission Level and click Share button.

• check groups(members, visitors, owners) or users to remove permission, click Remove User Permission on the ribbon menu and confirm to remove the permission

The file or folders will be access only people have permission

Thank you
