DeliverPoint Settings options

To start using DeliverPoint, navigate to a SharePoint site and then to a list or library, or click Settings , where you will see three DeliverPoint options. These three options are also available on the Site Settings page under LightningTools DeliverPoint and are therefore available on sites where the Settings menu is not available.

Note: Once DeliverPoint is installed there is a DeliverPoint Ribbon tab on lists and libraries, and a List Item Menu option.

*The DeliverPoint options on the Settings menu are displayed for all users, even if users are not site owners, as they may be SharePoint Group owners. In this case, they have permissions to add/remove users to/from a SharePoint Group and can report on who has permissions in that SharePoint Group. The DeliverPoint links on the Settings menu can be restricted to site collection administrators only, see Restricting access to DeliverPoint.

The three DeliverPoint links at the bottom of the Settings menu and on the Site Settings page are:

• DeliverPoint. Use this option to display the DeliverPoint dashboard where you can manage permissions on any site in your SharePoint deployment. By default the farm centric tree view of your SharePoint deployment is displayed.
  
  Note. DeliverPoint is security trimmed so that those using it can only see information and perform DeliverPoint operations within their native scope of authority that is defined within SharePoint.
  
  
• Discover Site Permissions. Navigate to a site where you want to know who has permission to the site. It expands the Active Directory and SharePoint group membership in an easy to-read report so you can see who has permissions to a site.You can also generate the same reports using the farm centric tree view, which you can display by clicking DeliverPoint from the Settings menu.
  
  
• Discover All Permissions (Advanced). Displays a dialog box allowing you to pre-filter a report based on various criteria, such as Permissions Level or User name, and the type of permission (e.g. Full Control, Edit, Read). There are also three options for including subwebs, lists, and items.
  

*If you are a SharePoint farm administrator and you use the SharePointCentral Administration web site, there is a third option on the Settings menu: DeliverPoint Configuration that allows you to modify DeliverPoint configuration settings at the farm level.
