Grant Permissions

Using this DeliverPoint permission command, you can grant permissions at a SharePoint object level, such as a site, list, library, list item, or file, as well as to one or more usernames, email addresses, Active Directory groups or SharePoint groups, or a combination, which you then map to a permission level or SharePoint Group.

To use the Grant Permissions command, complete one of the three following methods:

1. Navigate to the DeliverPoint Add-In Main Page and select either Site or Account from the Centric View section in the Ribbon.
   
   
2. In the tree view, select those nodes, also known as SharePoint objects, to be included in the scope. For example, select one or more sites or an accounts. A summary of the node[s] selected are displayed in the Selected Scope pane below the Tree View pane. Note: Child nodes are not automatically included.
   
   
3. On the Ribbon, click Grant Permissions in the Management group.
   
   
   
   The Grant Permissions page is displayed to the right of the Tree View. The nodes included in the scope are displayed at the top of the page.
