Sign up ×  So I get why breaking inheritance copies over the
limited access to sites/items from the parent site. I'm under
the assumption that this process of copying over limited access
is sometimes completely pointless because users may have access
to one list or even list item and that is separate from the list
that is getting it's inheirtance broken. So the limited access
entries for the permission of that list is just noise, and has
no relevance to the list permission base at hand.  Is this by
design? Can someone explain why it's this way?  It is different
from this thread here because I'm asking the purpose of copying
limited access from the parent site to a broken inheritance list
that isn't related.  For example:   List A -broken  List B  List
C -being broken  User 1 - Access to List A  List C permissions
copy over limited access from parent for access to List A, and
isn't relevant to List C, isn't this just noise?  share|improve
