SharePoint 2013 Survey restrictions Issue

Question

Hello,
I have a SharePoint 2013 Survey which is restricted to a set of one security group having 10 members. As per the sharepoint security, other members not in the security group should get access denied. When the url http://myportal.company.com/Lists/TestSurvey/AllItems.aspx given to non authorized users, they are able to see all questions even though they cant see any responses. It shows all questions and also display "There are no Responses".

Why this Survey list not showing others 'Access Denied' when they don't have permissions. Are there any bugs with the Survey list? Please advise. This is really urgent and we might have to drop using SharePoint 2013 Survey otherwise.

Thanks

Shri

Hi, @ShridharHegde-2034 ,

According to your description, you only want the survey to be viewable by a certain security group. I have done tests in my end, if you do not grant permission to view the survey, user shall only be able to see a screen like below. They cannot view the questions.

So you can try to create a unique permission for you survey list and only grant permission to required users and groups.
