    Important

    Administrators must have access to the Shared Services Provider (SSP) administration site.

Shared services administrators can add links to trusted My Site host locations. These links are used to provide users with access to My Sites on multiple Shared Services Providers (SSPs).

Typically, trusted links are added in scenarios where certain users require access across SSPs, or users are being migrated across SSPs because of changes in the organization. Only rarely will all users in an organization need access across SSPs, such as when an entire organization is being merged into another organization or multiple SSPs are being consolidated in a single SSP. In most cases, links to trusted My Site host locations will be targeted to individual users or groups of users based upon an identified business need. The links can be maintained and changed over time as business and user needs change.
