My Site is a site that is available to every user in an organization. It is included with Office SharePoint Server as a way for employees to store their personal documents, lists, contacts, calendars and more. My Site is not one of the site templates you choose from when you create a new site, but it is included here so that you can consider how you might want to share or promote its content on your site. You may, for example, create a new site that depends on My Site functionality and content, such as the Personalization site and My Site Host templates above.

Every user in your organization has a unique My Site.Similar to the default site templates, they contain features that can be used and customized to share content with others.What’s included in the template: 2 parts: My Home personal site and My Profile public profile page Links list Colleagues Web Part In Common with You Web Part Memberships Web Part Calendar Web Part SharePoint Sites Web Part Documents Web Part

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.

More specifically, The nodes within the tree are colour coded. If the user’s permissions on the content match or exceed the level of access specified, the node is coloured green, red otherwise. Enabling a Site Administrator to determine what access a user has and to which content within a Site.

Background

Frequently I would receive emails from site administrators fed up with managing permissions for users. A common scenario would be that a user needed to be able to read all content within a site. For a site admin to be certain of this, they would need to visit each list and library permissions page and check that a) the list was inheriting permissions or b) the list has unique permissions and the user needs to be added directly. (Not to mention folder and list item permissions, but that’s outside the scope of what this web part addresses!)

Expand this problem out to groups of sites and it gets really scary…

This Web Part hopes to solve this management issue for site administrators. The web part will confirm what permissions a user has to each list and site at a certain level in a Sharepoint hierarchy. It can also show the permission inheritance hierarchy for a better understanding of how permissions are setup.

I would like to get some feedback on its usefulness and if you have any suggestions on improving this web part i would like to hear about them.

Additional Features

- View Permission Inheritance on Sites and Lists. Useful for site administrators to understand how permissions are configured on their sites.
- Sharepoint Feature included in the Solution that adds two links to the Site Settings Page.

Check User Access – Page with embedded Access Checker, configured for User Access Mode
View Permission Inheritance – Page with embedded Access Checker, configured for Permissions Inheritance mode.

Limitations

- List Items are not displayed.
- Does not currently work with Forms Based Authentication.

To change the code for use with SharePoint 2010, you can find your info here.

• 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.
