Parent Permissions have been broken at a site level but SharePoint groups are still inheriting

Question

Hi Team

I've got 3 separate lists where I want them to have their own permissions.

The permissions have been broken at a parent level, but for some reason, when I update a SharePoint Group with edit permission for list A, they get the same access permission for list B where I want users to only have read access. For some reason, it still inherits the SharePoint Group permission even though I've broken the permissions at a parent level, is there a step that I've missed......?

All three list on this site show the below

Regards,
Harry

Hi @Harry N Nomikos ,

If you grant edit permission level to the group in site level, the group will have edit permission to all lists and items. The group will also have access to lists with unique permission. To avoid this, we could create a group without site permission level. Then we could share the folder to the group with separate permission.

You can set the group permission with can edit or can view.
