When granting permission to an asset in a repository or view the user does not have permissions to, you are required to acknowledge that by granting permission, the user is automatically given read access.

If the asset is in a repository to which the user does not have read access, you see a dialog when setting the additional asset permissions that the user will be granted read permissions automatically to ALL assets in the view.
If the user already has read access to the view where the asset is located, you will not see this dialog.
