  • Hi,

    For External list, Item-level permission is not supported:

    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff798319.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

    As a workaround, you can populate data from this External list to a custom list, then you will be able to use the Item-level permission feature on that custom list instead.

    Also, I would suggest you submit a feedback to the SharePoint UserVoice Platform if there any expectation about the future version of SharePoint:

    http://sharepoint.uservoice.com/

    It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products. What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

    Best regards,

    Patrick
