Managing permissions for a document library
Updated: August 28, 2008
Applies To: Office SharePoint Server 2007
Updated: 2008-08-28
Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides the ability to manage permissions on the following objects:
-
Individual lists
-
Individual libraries
-
Individual folders
-
Individual documents
-
List items within lists
-
List items within libraries
You might have sensitive information stored in a particular securable object. A securable object might be a list, library, folder within a list or library, document, or list item. If you do not want to expose the information to all users of a site, you can restrict some users and SharePoint groups from accessing a particular securable object.
Any users with the Manage Permissions permission on a particular securable object can manage permissions on that particular securable object.
By default, Site Owners have the Manage Permissions permission. Any user with the Full Control permission on a particular securable object can also manage permissions on that securable object.
