I've got a user who wishes to share a OneNote notebook with other users. The one caveat is that he was different users to have access to different sections within the notebook (ie. User A gets access to one section 1, user B only to section 2, etc.). Is this possible, and how would I go about setting it up? The notebook will be shared with users on SharePoint 2010.
1@paradroid is wrong. OneNote Notebooks are NOT a single file. There is one .onetoc file that is for opening the file, and there are individual files for each section of the notebook. I have not tested the function of adjusting permissions on the individual section files of a notebook, but it is not true that OneNote stores an entire notebook in a single file. – music2myear – 2017-09-13T18:15:36.147
But a single file makes up a OneNote notebook. A OneNote notebook is a single file. So, there is no way you can use user permissions at any level smaller than complete notebooks. – paradroid – 2011-01-07T02:19:14.897
1When you add a OneNote notebook to a SharePoint document library, it ends up being uploaded as several folders/files. Breaking permissions inherritance within SharePoint and setting item level permissions on each separate item allowed me to do what I wanted to. A little bit of a pain to manage, but it works. Thanks for the direction. – Evan M. – 2011-01-07T14:34:58.063
@Evan: I did not realise that Notebooks were split up on SharePoint, as I keep mine on SkyDrive. I think I'll try migrating them to SharePoint then. – paradroid – 2011-01-07T20:45:34.527
