Chapter 4. Securing SharePoint Sites


Every SharePoint site needs security to ensure users are limited to performing just the tasks they ought to be performing. You would not want an unauthorized employee viewing the Human Resources files, nor would you want a nonemployee accessing certain corporate documents. Security policies dictate user access, user rights, and user permissions. Windows SharePoint Services incorporates a flexible and dynamic security model that allows administrators and users to control access to their pages with ease.

In this chapter, you will learn how Windows SharePoint Services authenticates users and grants permissions. This chapter provides detailed steps and overviews on:

  • User and site group management

  • Security architecture

  • Assigning roles to objects and sites

Once you have completed this chapter, you should understand how to secure a SharePoint team site.
