Setting User Direct Permissions

Set User Direct Permissions is a ControlPoint action that lets you grant users direct permissions to one or more SharePoint sites, lists/libraries, and/or items.  (The action will not, however, overwrite or replace any direct permissions a user may already have.)

NOTE:  If you want to add users to an existing SharePoint group, use the procedure for Adding Users to SharePoint Groups.

To set user direct permissions:

1Select the object(s) to which you want to grant user permissions.

2Choose Users and Security > Set User Direct Permissions.

3Complete the Parameters section as follows:

a)For Set Permissions for User(s), select the user(s) for whom you want to set direct permissions.

b)In the Permission Level (Direct) drop-down, select a level from the list.

Permission Level drop-down

NOTE:  All custom permissions levels that are currently assigned to at least one user within the scope of your selection display in the drop-down.  (In a multi-farm environment, this list is populated from the permissions of the home farm.)  If you want to assign a custom permissions level that has been defined for a site collection but either is not currently in use or exists only on a remote farm, you can type it into the drop-down.  

c)If your selection includes one or more sites and you want the permissions to be applied to all lists within the site(s) that have unique permissions, check the Propagate to All Lists with Unique Permissions box.

d)If you have checked the Propagate to All Lists with Unique Permissions box and want the permissions to be applied to all items within the list(s) that have unique permissions, check the Propagate to List Items box.

NOTE:  The "Propagate" options do not apply to lists that you selected explicitly.  If you want to include items within explicitly-selected lists, use the Include Children or Choose option in the Selection panel.  See also Selecting List Items on Which to Perform a ControlPoint Operation.

Now you can:

·run the operation immediately (by clicking the [Run Now] button)

OR

·schedule the operation to run at a later time or on a recurring basis.

OR

·save the operation as XML Instructions that can be run at a later time.

If you chose the Run Now, option, after the operation has been processed:

·a confirmation message displays at the top of the page, and

·a ControlPoint Task Audit is generated for the operation and displays in the Results section.

If you schedule the operation, a link to the Task Audit is included in the scheduled action notification email.
