Answer 2

I encountered the same problem and am unable to restrict access.  I can add the icons to the quick toolbar, but that is a far as they go and there is no functionality beyond that.  Is there a difference in this functionality between Professional versions and Home and Student versions as I am using a Home version?

Answer 3

It is not grayed out. It is completely not there. However, I am able to find it in the excel options, under "all commands" . so when I add the command " restrict permission: into the Quick toolbar. It can be found at the Quick toolbar on my excel spreadsheet window. However, I am still not able to use that command. I tried clicking on it ("restricted accesss") , nothing happen (no wizard etc). i tried to click on the "managing credentials" too, nothing happen.

What's going on? Mine is a licensed Microsoft windows (Home version). Please help asap!

As you said ‘Restricted Permissions’ are under Office button > Prepare.

What happens when you try to use this function? Is it grayed out?
