Hi All: Given that this question will seem simple and slightly ignorant... what is a SharePoint Portal used for and what does it improve or replace.

Removing that group from the Sharepoint server machine seems to have corrected the issue (further testing pending). Thanks to all, Jim DeMarco -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Jim DeMarco Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 10:30 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] OT: Sharepoint Security Well I just set up a non-IT staff member with Read access and that's all he could do (read). When I removed him from the site he could not access it any longer. So it looks like it may be using Windows Security to authenticate users. Unfortunately I need to limit even our IT staff in various sections of the site so I've got to get a work around together. I'll keep you posted.

I'm interested in the outcome of your question. A couple of random thoughts... There are two levels of security for SharePoint. They are Central Administration and Site Administration rights. Central take precedence over site rights. If a person is a member of the Central Administration group which manages the settings for the Web Server and virtual servers, they effectively have Administrative rights to the entire portal. In Site Administration, IIRC, there is a toggle somewhere to designate a person to have the same rights as the parent area or site. Let me know if you have found the solution.

I set up a Sharepoint site as a test bed (Sharepoint Services not Server) and gave a few users access. No matter what rights I give the users they have full admin rights to the sight. I set up custom security groups and the site is completely ignoring them. To further add to the mystery I removed on user (she is not a member of any security group therefore should not have access to the site) and she can still get in with full admin rights. Is it possible that Sharepoint is deferring to Windows rights? These are all IT staff here and have more liberal rights to our network than the average user. Does anyone have a clue? A push in the right direction would be appreciated.
