MOSS 2007 Administration part VI: SITE ADMINISTRATION::


MOSS 2007 Administration part VI: SITE ADMINISTRATION::


This is the final post in a six-part series on SharePoint 2007 administrative commands. So far I've covered:
  • Part I: Overview
  • Part II: Farm administration
  • Part III: web application administration
  • Part IV: Shared Service Provider (SSP) administration
  • Part V: Site Collection administration
In this post I will review Site-scoped administrative functions. I should note that this content was written before SP2 was launched and that revision has yet to occur.

SharePoint groups contain users or groups (Active Directory or SharePoint groups). Permission Levels are often confused with groups, as the names of Permission Levels are often nearly synonymous with a SharePoint group. For instance, the default SharePoint group Hierarchy Managers has the Manage Hierarchy and Limited Access permission levels. The ViewersSharePoint group has the View Only permission level. There is no fixed relationship between these groups and permission levels, but it is desirable to maintain this fixed relationship unless there is a compelling reason to change it
New permission levels can be created for new or existing groups, or existing permissions within a default permission level can be fine-tuned. This is a full list of configurable permissions:

List Permissions

  • Manage Lists  -  Create and delete lists, add or remove columns in a list, and add or remove public views of a list.
  • Override Check Out  -  Discard or check in a document which is checked out to another user.
  • Add Items  -  Add items to lists, add documents to document libraries, and add Web discussion comments.
  • Edit Items  -  Edit items in lists, edit documents in document libraries, edit Web discussion comments in documents, and customize Web Part Pages in document libraries.
  • Delete Items  -  Delete items from a list, documents from a document library, and Web discussion comments in documents.
  • View Items  -  View items in lists, documents in document libraries, and view Web discussion comments.
  • Approve Items  -  Approve a minor version of a list item or document.
  • Open Items  -  View the source of documents with server-side file handlers.
  • View Versions  -  View past versions of a list item or document.
  • Delete Versions  -  Delete past versions of a list item or document.
  • Create Alerts  -  Create e-mail alerts.
  • View Application Pages  -  View forms, views, and application pages. Enumerate lists.

  • Manage Web Site  -  Grants the ability to perform all administration tasks for the Web site as well as manage content.

  • Manage Alerts  -  Manage alerts for all users of the Web site.
  • Use Remote Interfaces  -  Use SOAP, Web DAV, or SharePoint Designer interfaces to access the Web site.
  • Use Client Integration Features  -  Use features which launch client applications. Without this permission, users will have to work on documents locally and upload their changes.
  • Open  -  Allows users to open a Web site, list, or folder in order to access items inside that container.

Personal Permissions

  • Manage Personal Views  -  Create, change, and delete personal views of lists.
  • Add/Remove Personal Web Parts  -  Add or remove personal Web Parts on a Web Part Page.
One of the key tasks in taxonomy design is to determine how adequately the default permission levels fit, to define new permission levels if necessary and to identify where the application of distinct permission levels is required. The corollary task is to identify what custom groupings of users are required for default and custom permission levels and to identify where permission inheritance may need to be broken within the taxonomy

People and Groups

Reset to site definition

From the page description:
If you want to remove all customizations from a page (such as changes to Web Part zones or text added to the page) you can use this feature to reset to the version of the page included with the site definition.
You can reset a single page within your site to use the version of the page included in the site definition, or you can reset all pages.
