SharePoint 2010 Security on a list
I would like to take a group (all the members of a site's contributors group) and duplicate that group and members giving them view only rights on a list view. But I don't want to affect their rights with respect to other views of that or any other lists doing so.
I see you can make a permission level which I created (let's call it ContributersViewOnly). But, I don't see how to get the current Contributers members to have only the ContributorsOnly rights to a selected list.
Traversing all the myriad ways to look at security, permissions and groups has me spinning more than solving.
Any clarity on all this and how to get where I need to be would be greatly appreciated.

Up to the point where you crate the Permission level of ContributorViewsOnly and break permission inheritance I'm fine. How do I then associate people with this permission level for this group. The devils in the details...
Permission level can be granted to individual users or user groups. So as I said you have to go list permissions page (http://web/_layouts/user.aspx?obj={ListId},list&List={ListI
Really people are not associated with permissions level - it is list, user and permission level, that are associated together.

Can you either explain in a bit more detail that relationship or send me some URLs that explain (with a complete walkthrough/example)?

Frist, you should not confuse Contributors group with Contribute permissions level. Site Contributors group is just sharepoint group which granted Contribute permission level for the site by default. So, to give this group special permission level for the list, you should do it as for any other group - go to list permissions page, break permissions inheritance, and change permissions level for Contributors group to ContributersViewOnly.
