Allow users to see and edit only the files they uploaded

The problem

Microsoft doesn’t allow users to see and edit only the files they uploaded themselves in a Document Library like in the List. There is no out-of-the-box option to turn on this feature like for the List Items.

Solution

Connect to your SharePoint site vina PnP.

Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/yoursitename" -ClientID "yourClientID"

Setup the ReadSecurity and Write security properties.

$docLib = Get-PnPList "YourDocumentLibraryName" -Includes ReadSecurity
$docLib.ReadSecurity = 2
$docLib.WriteSecurity = 2
$docLib.Update()

Apply the changes

Invoke-PnPQuery
