I’m Kevin and I’m responsible for permissions in SharePoint
In SharePoint, you can grant permissions to a user or group via what we call “permission levels” – essentially sets of permissions. Out of the box we include a few of these like “Read” and “Contribute” and “Design”.
It sounds like you want to provide some users with the ability to do more than the Read permission level allows, but disallow the viewing of documents. To accomplish this, you could create a new permission level (site settings > advanced permissions > permission levels). Note: we restrict permission levels from including adding or editing items without the ability to view them
