Adding a User or Group to a Permission

  1. Click the SPAdmin program tab:

  2. Click the Configuration button.

  3. Click on Permissions in the Security folder.
  4. In the Permissions window, under the Secured Items folder, open a folder and double-click a node that you wish to add a user or group to. This will bring up the properties dialog of the permission node selected.

  1. Click the plus sign to open the Add Users and Groups to Permissions dialog:

Select a user or group to add. Note: Press and hold CTRL to select multiple users or groups.

  1. Select either Grant or Deny.
  2. Select the rights that you either want to grant or deny. A permission will have one or more rights associated with it. You must select the right(s) you are granting before you can click OK.
  3. Click OK.
  4. To edit permissions, highlight and double-click an entry under the Rights tab. The User or Group Permission dialog will appear. Select the access you want to grant or deny. Click OK to save.

Note: Group rights rule over individual rights. In other words, even if you explicitly grant a single user rights to a feature, if the user belongs to a group that is denied that right, the user will not be able to access the feature.
