• Application pool identity must have access
to it’s respective databases
(SharePoint_Config, wss_content, etc)
• Must have access to create databases on
the sql server (content db’s), which
typically requires one of
Administrators, Process
28. SharePoint Windows Groups
• IIS_WPG
– Has access to administer IIS Worker Process
• WSS_WPG
– Has read access to system resources of WSS
• WSS_ADMIN_WPG
– Has write access to system resources of WSS
• WSS_RESTRICTED_WPG
– General purpose administrator group
29. SharePoint Default Groups
• Every team site created is given a set of
default groups
– Visitors
Given read permission set
– Members
Given contribute permission set
– Owners
Given full control permission set
• Different site definitions create different
groups
– Publishing sites create more than the three above
(Style Resource
Readers, Designers, Approvers, Restricted
Readers, Quick Deploy Users)
30. ASP.NET Membership/Role
Provider

– Utilize the roles of the membership/role
provider

Active Directory
LDAP
Custom
31. Assignable Entities
• User
– A single user from the Membership provider
• Domain Group
– A role from the Role provider being used
(Domain group in active directory, a role in
ASP.NET db provider)
• SharePoint Group
– A group you create in SharePoint and assign
individual users too
– Scoped to the Site Collection

permission levels

33. Permissions
• SharePoint has a set of pre-defined
Permissions
– 33 of them
– Fall into one of three categories (List, Site,
Personal)
– Permission are not assigned directly to users,
but rather to Permission Levels
34. Site/List/Item Permission
Inheritance
• Permissions by default are inherited
– Site dictates to list and list items what
permissions users will have
– You have the ability to override at a list
level, list items will inherit from the list
permissions
– You also have the ability to override at the list
item level, designed to allow folder level
permissions!
35. Web Application Policy
• SharePoint doesn’t have a notion of deny
– But you can setup zones
(intranet, internet, extranet)
– These zones can have a policy with four
settings:
Full Control
Read Only
Deny Write
Deny Access
