Objectifs :

Understand how permissions work on a SharePoint site, including the different levels of access and the implications of adding members to groups versus sharing the site directly.

Chapitres :

  1. Introduction to SharePoint Permissions
    In this section, we will explore the permissions structure of a SharePoint site, particularly for an IT team. Understanding these permissions is crucial for managing access and collaboration effectively.
  2. Access Levels in SharePoint
    SharePoint offers three distinct levels of permissions: - **Visitors**: These users have read-only access and cannot make any changes to the site. - **Members**: Typically your colleagues, members have limited control over the site, allowing them to contribute content but not manage permissions. - **Owners**: This group has full control over the site, including the ability to manage permissions and settings.
  3. Adding Members: Group vs. Site Sharing
    When adding members to your SharePoint site, it's important to distinguish between adding them to a group and sharing the site directly. - **Adding to a Group**: When you add members to a group, they gain access to multiple Microsoft 365 services, including Teams, Planner, OneNote, and the shared inbox, in addition to the SharePoint site. - **Sharing the Site Only**: If you only want to share the site without granting access to the other group features, you should choose to share the site directly.
  4. Practical Example of Sharing Permissions
    Let's consider a practical example. If you want to share the site with a colleague named Frank: 1. Go to the site permissions settings. 2. Select 'Share Site' and give Frank edit permissions. 3. After sharing, check the members list to confirm Frank's access level. If Frank is only listed as a member without being part of the IT team site members, he will only have limited visibility of the site.
  5. Managing Member Permissions
    To manage Frank's permissions: - If you need to remove him, simply click on the arrow next to his name and select 'Delete'. - To add him to the group instead, select 'Add Members to Group' and assign him member permissions. After this, Frank will have full access to the IT team site and all associated Microsoft 365 group features.
  6. Conclusion
    Understanding the nuances of SharePoint permissions is essential for effective team collaboration. By carefully managing who has access to what, you can ensure that your IT team operates smoothly and securely.

work on a SharePoint site.
00:00:07
Start by going to the top right
00:00:10
of your screen on the gear icon.
00:00:12
And site permissions.
00:00:15
You have three different levels.
00:00:17
We have the visitors which have
00:00:19
no control over the slide and
00:00:22
are in read only permissions.
00:00:24
The members usually your colleagues
00:00:26
and have limited control and the
00:00:29
site owners who have full control.
00:00:31
The thing is be careful when you want
00:00:34
to add members to make the difference
00:00:38
between add members to group or share
00:00:41
site only if you have a team site.
00:00:45
Adding members to a group.
00:00:47
Means that the people you add will be
00:00:51
added to the Microsoft Teams, Planner,
00:00:54
OneNote Shared Inbox and SharePoint site.
00:00:57
But you might only want to share the site,
00:01:01
then click on their site.
00:01:03
Only the other aspect of the group
00:01:06
of the 365 group will not be shared.
00:01:10
Let's make an example.
00:01:12
I'm going to share the site
00:01:15
only to my colleague.
00:01:17
Fog, I'm going to give him an edit.
00:01:22
Ermission.
00:01:23
And add him.
00:01:25
Now if I open the Members,
00:01:28
*** I can see that, Frank.
00:01:31
Has a member permission.
00:01:32
He is not part of the IIT team site members,
00:01:36
which means he can only see the site.
00:01:41
Delete Frank. Simply click
00:01:42
on the arrow and remove.
00:01:46
Now if I want to add members to group.
00:01:51
I will add members, let's go for Frank again.
00:01:57
Let's give him a member permission.
00:02:04
If we go back to the site Ermissions,
00:02:06
Frank is now part of the IT team
00:02:09
site member and therefore has an
00:02:11
access to the whole 365 group.
