Balancing security and user satisfaction is hard. But with SharePoint’s built-in security features and customizable roles and permissions, you can give your users access to everything they need and restrict access to everything they don’t. Join Spike Xavier, as he shows how to use SharePoint’s security mechanisms to control and protect information from the site collection level on down. Plus, learn how to create custom roles, groups, and permission levels to cover what SharePoint doesn’t do straight out of the box. Spike will also cover how security impacts search functionality in SharePoint—specifically content revealed in Web Parts and views—and show how to document your SharePoint security strategy.
Topics include:
Understanding authentication and authorization
Configuring groups and permission levels
Accessing the site, lists and libraries, and documents
Restricting access
Building custom security levels
Creating roles for site users and site publishers
