Best Practices SharePoint 2010

Posted by on 18/12/2011 No comments

Searching for the best practices for setting up your SharePoint 2010 environment? On TechNet I found the best practices for SharePoint 2010. This page displays a list of best practices collected by Microsoft in the areas of infrastructure and design of SharePoint 2010. This is actually a linkcollection to many other TechNet links, resources and documents that can assist you in setting up a SharePoint environment.

Because there is still much use of SharePoint 2007, I added not only the best practices for SharePoint 2010, but also those of SharePoint 2007

My customer recently asked me if it’s possible to which access permissions a user has in the MOSS2007 environment. After a notification of a SharePoint colleague I found the following webpart.

The Access Checker Web Part is a Windows Sharepoint Services Web Part, for use within Windows Sharepoint Services v3 and Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007, that displays a tree view showing permissions on objects for a user scoped to a Site hierarchy. It also has a second mode which will show the permission inheritance of objects within a Site hierarchy. Read more »

Configure Mysite only for a specific user group

Posted by on 02/11/2011 No comments

Just for keeping everything the administrating easy on the backend, first make a list of the authorized users en put them in a usergroup in Active Directory.

  • Go to the Central Administration and open the Shared Service Provider for your web application.
  • Select  “Personalization services permissions”.
  • On the next page you’ll see a list where you could allow or deny certain functionality to certain groups. There you could define who’s allowed to create a MySite and who’s not. In this case you put the created AD group to the autohorized groups and give them the personal site authorisation.
