Hey guys. I am having a really difficult time in setting up a specific request for someone in Sharepoint Online.

In short, they want to be able to add documents to a specific Document Library in a specific Site, but the users can only list all the documents in the library, but not open the documents at all. Just see the document names.

I have disabled inheritance from the site down to the libraries and created a List Only Permission group, but no matter how I configure the permissions for the permission group, I can either list the documents and open them (cannot edit them) or I do not see any documents. It is currently a Team Library. Not sure if a Document Centre or Publishing Portal will be different.

Any advice from the Gurus? I am not that new to SharePoint but this level I am total newbie.

I would start by checking the view and see what option you are displaying for the document name make sure they are the linked options.
