SharePoint Tutorial - Day Three

In this third part, we will learn about SharePoint Groups and user creation and permission settings.

In this third part, we will learn about SharePoint Groups and user creation and how to set permissions. 

Before creating groups and allocating permission, we need to create users for these groups. Actually, SharePoint portal rests on Windows Server so, by default, SharePoint looks for ADS (Active Directory Services).

Thus, we need to add/create users in Windows ADS or local user groups which can be used in our SharePoint application.

Once the user creation is done, we will learn how to create groups and allocate permission to these groups. Steps to be followed for this are as below.

1. Login to your SharePoint site.
   
   
2. Click the "Settings" icon o the top right corner and click on "Site Settings".
   
   
   
   
3. Click "site permission" .
   
   
   
   
4. Click on "Create Groups".
   
   
5. Give the appropriate name to your group and set the permission as required for the group.
   
   
   
   
6. Once the group is created, click on the group name to add a user to that group. Then, click on New. 
   
   
7. Type the user's name or email Id which was created on AD/Local user group.
   
   
   
   
8. Check email checkbox on "Show" option and click on "Share" button to send a mail to the user who is being added to the application or simply uncheck the email and click on "Share".
   
   That's it. I hope this is helpful.
