Managing Sites and Sub-sites

•
Manage immediate
set of sub-sites for
the current site*

Managed from HTML
Pages or commandline
Site-creation is a
simple two-step
process
Authentication
•
•
•
Authentication – the verification of identity
of a person or process
– Different from authorization, which determines
which functions you can perform
WSS does not perform it’s own
authentication – this is handled by IIS
IIS’ authentication mechanism requires an
NT account (either local or AD)
Authentication Setup
Two main setups for authentication –
account creation mode or pre existing
domain
• With a pre existing domain, use IIS with
Windows authentication enabled, no new
user accounts needed
• Account creation mode is a feature, selected
at install time, that will generate a new
account in the AD for each user – pre
existing accounts cannot be used. IIS is
setup to use basic or digest authentication
• Don’t use local machine accounts!
– Migrating will be a big pain if you do
• Passport authentication and WSS don’t work
well together
•
Anonymous Access
Anonymous access is limited – the most
anonymous users can do is insert list items
– By default, it is turned off, both at the web site
level and at the IIS level
– WSS UI is sensitive to IIS setting
• Setting anonymous access is done at myriad
different points
– IIS setting for the virtual server
– On/Off switch at the web site level
– Rights mask at the individual list level
•

Site Collections
•
•
•
A Site Collection is a set of logically related
Web Sites that can be collectively managed
Each Site Collection has a single top level
Web Site
Individual users can be marked as Site
Collection Administrators
– This grants them full access to all content
Box & WSS Administrators
•
•
WSS supports two sets of high level administrators,
box admins and SharePoint Administrative Group
members
– SharePoint Administrative Group is defined in WSS
Central Administration
– WSS checks to see if the current user is a box admin or
in the domain group. If so, full access is granted to all
site collections
Four differences between abilities of box admins and
WSS admins
– Change configuration database
– Change WSS admin domain group
– Manage content paths
– Extend/unextend IIS virtual servers
Security & Site Collections
•
Site collection administrators have three
main responsibilities
– Users and cross-site groups on the site
collection
• Users are rolled up at the site collection
level, and can be managed there
• Cross site groups are scoped to the site
collection level
– Quota issues for the site collection
– Rights mask for the site collection

WSS Authorization
•
•
Whereas WSS relies on IIS for
authentication, WSS performs all it’s own
authorization
Implementation is similar to NT system
– WSS specific ACLs dictate access
• ACL is a collection of ACEs, each of which
maps a security principle (user, group, etc)
to a set of rights
– NT is called for domain group resolution
Managing Users
•
•
•
•
•
•
Users give people access to a site
Every site has it’s own set op users
The site owner can choose to inherit
users from the parent site, or create a
unique set of users
Can enable Anonymous access on
– Entire Site, Lists and Libraries or Nothing
Can enable access for all authenticated
users as
– Readers or Contributors
Can manage all users in a site collection

Web Site Security
•
•
•
•
Site Groups are scoped to an individual Web Site
Site Groups by default
– Guest*
– Reader
– Contributor
– Designer Web
– Administrator
Which Site Groups a user is a member of determine
their default permissions to objects in that site (and
any inherited web sites)
– Membership in multiple Site Groups is possible
A Web Site’s security can be either inherited from it’s
parent web, or unique
Managing Users
and Site Groups
•
•
•
•
Membership to a Site Group
determines the rights a user has
Use built-in groups or create your own
Each Site Group has a set of rights
Copy feature allows you to copy all
rights to another group

Managing Cross-Site Groups
•

•
Group users
together in one
entity
Cross-site groups
must be assigned
to a site group in
order to give the
users in the sitegroup rights on
the Site
Can be used on
any site within
the
site-collection
Useful if
equivalent is not
available as an

Permissions in WSS
•
•
WSS uses “rights” - a right is a privilege that allows
a user to perform an action on the server.
– Example: View Pages, Insert List Items, Change List
Permissions.
– There are currently about 20 rights.
– Some rights are dependent on others. Example: Insert
List Items has View List Items as a dependent.
At the IIS virtual server level there is a “rights mask”
– This enables/disables rights for use on Web Site
Collections within that virtual server
– Is settable by box administrators and WSS
administrators
User Level Security and Web Parts
•
•
Shared and Personal modes
– Shared mode changed seen by all users
– Personal mode changes seen only by the individual making
them
Rights controlling user modes:
– Shared:
• Add or customize pages – allows shared mode changes for
parts and pages outside document libraries
• Edit list items – allows shared mode changes for parts and
pages inside document libraries
– Personal:
• (Add or Remove Private Web Parts) Personalize Web Part
pages – allows users to add/delete parts in personal mode
for pages in webs and document libraries
• (Updated Personal Web Parts) Personalize Web Parts –
allows users to modify part properties in personal mode for
pages in webs and document libraries
