Note

Because SharePoint Server runs as websites in Internet Information Services (IIS), administrators and users depend on the accessibility features that browsers provide. SharePoint Server supports the accessibility features of supported browsers. For more information, see the following resources:> Plan browser support> Accessibility for SharePoint Products> Accessibility features in SharePoint 2013 Products> Keyboard shortcuts> Touch

  • Read Manage security groups in Project Server.
