Works with: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and
Office SharePoint Server 2007 |

The SharePoint Add Account Site Security feature of USPM is a simple and
easy to use wizard that enables SharePoint Admins or other
delegated users to add multiple accounts to a single site or
multiple sites in a single process. With multiple configuration
settings that enable you to target exactly how you want users to be
added to SharePoint's Site Security model you'll now be
able to add a user across the environment in a blink of an eye!
Current SharePoint Challenge(s):
SharePoint 2007 security architecture has become more standardized and
provides more consistent capabilities across the platform, however along
with this new architecture and security features comes more complex
management and reporting tasks. Some of the current challenges around adding user
site security are:
- No holistic site hierarchy view.
SharePoint does not provide a holistic hierarchical view of all the sites within the environment where a user can be added.
- No holistic site security
inheritance view.
SharePoint does not provide a holistic view of site security inheritance making it extremely difficult to
determine where site security is being inherited and managed from.
- Sites Security Interface.
Site Security in SharePoint is managed directly from a individual sites interfaces. When adding a user to
multiple sites SharePoint administrators have to navigate to each sites interface to make changes and this
proves to be very time consuming.
SharePoint Add Account Site Security : Business Value
The SharePoint Add Account Site Security Wizard provides a single process that enables SharePoint Administrators and designated users to add users to multiple SharePoint
sites with a whole host of configuration capabilities. This wizard will allow the process of adding users to site security across the environment to be completed in
a matter of seconds.
