SharePoint Permission management by Roles

Asked By: Sanchay Samaddar Date: Jan 19, 2010 Category: Sharepoint Views: 277

Following up on the ideas of other questions of this sort.

SharePoint controls permissions by group or individual permissions

I have been asked why we can not control it by Role, instead.

I am in the role XYZ today, I have a set of permissions, because I am
in a group or it has been assigned individually. I change jobs,
therefore my role has changed. I should lose permissions to certain
group/individual sites (Contributor to Reader) and I should gain
permissions in other areas (Reader to Full control).

SharePoint makes each site owner go in and changed those things
manually, when they have time and if they remember.

Personnel, here, changes my job (with its roles) from XYZ to my new
job Janitor. This information is passed to the Active Directory, and
is therefore available to SharePoint.

Anyone doing this out there?

According to what you said, it seems that you want to find some way
to do with the column permission which will change related permission
along with the change of certain role, eg. group or department.

In many occasions, the user needs to set column permission just like
you referred. Now, there is a sharepoint add-on which may be helpful
to you. It is called SharePoint Permission Boost. With its help, the
user can:
Firstly, assign permissions to all items separated from list
permission settings
Secondly, let ITEM-RELATED users or groups have permissions to each
item
Thirdly, assign read or edit permissions to columns

And you can find more information on

i think group in sharepoint is similar to role you're talking about.
just different name for some permissions. when u're changed from
group to group in SharePoint that info can't be passed back to the
AD except you mean group in AD.
