SharePoint 2013 - Hide Site Contents

Question

Hello everybody,

I would like to ask how can i hide the Site Contents for specific permission groups without removing the possibility for them to see pages, use forms and upload documents?

Is there a way?

Thank you,
Laura

Answer 1

by hiding Site Contents you mean hiding the link itself (Site actions > Site content) or actual content in some lists and doclibs? In first case you may hide it via css: Hide "Site Contents" Link from SharePoint 2013 Quick Launch Navigation.
In second case you need to break permissions inheritance (List settings > List permissions) and remove your specific group from there.

Hi @Laura ,

If you have enabled publishing feature, you can try to set audience targeting for the "Site Contents" navigation link. Please check the last part of this document.

And this thread also mention the similar process.
