Understanding SharePoint Permissions for Site Owners and Site Collection Administrators

Brett Lonsdale

Many users of SharePoint are tasked with Site Administrator or Site Collection Administration. Part of their task is to manage permission requests and to keep tight control on who can view or manipulate content within the sites that they manage, since they have a better understanding of who should have permissions to the content than farm administrators who do not work within the department each day. It is therefore important for Site Owners to have a good understanding of how to report and manage permissions effectively within the sites that they manage. This session will provide a good understanding of practices around permissions management.

In this session you will learn:

  • Understanding ‘Share’
  • When to break permission inheritance
  • SharePoint Groups and Active Directory Groups
  • Checking Permissions
  • Understanding Limited Access
  • Creating Custom Permission Levels

This session was delivered at the Collab365 Global Conference 2016 and was presented by Brett Lonsdale.
