SharePoint is CMS tool and document management tools. We need to provide some security on each document which we upload to SharePoint.
Ex: If i upload my pay stubs, it should not visible or access to other users who are having access on the same Document library.
SharePoint has provided security through SharePoint Groups.
What we have to do is, Create a SharePoint Group and add users to that group. Then we can specify the security level.
To create SharePoint groups, user should required Administration permissions.
Benefits – The definition and use of SharePoint Groups is under the control of the SharePoint administrators. SharePoint is a more dynamic environment where Sites and Lists are created for short term use by teams as part of a project. SharePoint Groups provide the flexibility to be created when needed and then removed just as easily when the project is completed.
Limitations – The scope of a SharePoint group is limited to a Site Collection. So, if I want to give access to a group of users to more than one SharePoint Site Collection, I need to create that group in each of the Site Collections. If I do that, I end up having to manage membership across each of those SharePoint Groups separately.
