SharePoint Permissions – Part 1 April 24th, 2009

Mike

After some hunting, I discovered that the information from Microsoft (and elsewhere) regarding the SharePoint Permission Levels was somewhat sparse and also a little conflicting. There are a few good articles (links at the bottom) but they disagree and don’t fully represent the number of Permission Levels. So, I did this the hard way and clicked through them all and made some tables.

Permission Levels

Permission Levels

The following tables show the permissions that comprise each out of the box Permission Level, correct for an out of the box Collaboration Portal on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Enterprise as of Service Pack 1 and the Infrastructure Update.

I'm sure there’ll be more articles to come on SharePoint Permissions, hence this is Part 1 :)

Free Stuff! April 7th, 2009

Mike

Free stuff is great (when it's worth having) and recently I think I have found two resources that are.

Firstly, I am often looking for chunks of CSS to get me started, help me write good navigation menus and so forth. Invariably, I find such a resource, use it and then promptly forget about it. Well, no longer! Behold, Free CSS! This is a great resource to get you started when you have an idea in your mind of the desired end result but inspiration to CSS it is lacking. The terms of use for each item varies, so be sure to check the author's web site(s).

The second nomination for great free resource goes to Icons Etc. This is a repository of icons that, at the time of writing, are free for both personal and commercial use. The icon sets might not be to everyone's tastes or suitable for all projects but I think they are pretty nice and, best of all, completely free!

Enjoy!

Floated Images Disappearing in IE6 April 1st, 2009

Mike

Having made quite good progress developing a site, I added a right float to an image only to have it disappear completely in IE6 (running on a Windows 98 SE Virtual Machine, if you’re interested ;) ). After a bit of Googling, I discovered that the simple solution was to ensure that all images had their position set to relative in the CSS file. I.e. all that was required was:


IMG  {
position: relative;
}

Credit where credit is due, I found the solution on this blog.
