Making ControlPoint Accessible from within SharePoint

ControlPoint installs three site-level features that enable ControlPoint users to access the ControlPoint application from within a SharePoint site:

·ControlPoint for Site Admins

·ControlPoint Menus for Site Settings, and

·ControlPoint Permissions Management for Site Admins.  

NOTE:  Normally, these ControlPoint features will only be visible to users who have Full Control permissions (or any permission level that includes the fine-grained permission ManageWeb) for the site on which they have been activated.

These are hidden features which can be activated using the ControlPoint Manage Site Features action.

ControlPoint for Site Admins

When the ControlPoint for Site Admins feature is activated, SharePoint users who are also ControlPoint users can choose Launch ControlPoint for Site Admins from the SharePoint Site Actions menu or Site Settings Page.

ControlPoint is launched in a separate browser window, with a simplified left navigation pane and the site from which ControlPoint was launched used as the default scope.  (Users can, however, modify the scope to include other sites for which they have management privileges using the procedure for Changing Your Selection.)

ControlPoint Application Administrators can customize the menu options that display in the left navigation pane using the procedure for Customizing ControlPoint Menus.

ControlPoint Menus for Site Settings

When the ControlPoint Menus for Site Settings feature is activated, the SharePoint Site Settings page includes links to individual ControlPoint actions and analyses.  Users can:

·select one of the ControlPoint Actions or a ControlPoint Analysis to open ControlPoint in a separate browser window with the same simplified user interface employed by the ControlPoint for Site Admins feature.

·access the standard ControlPoint interface by choosing Launch ControlPoint from the SharePoint Site Actions menu or Site Settings page.

ControlPoint Permissions Management for Site Admins

When ControlPoint Permissions Management for Site Admins is activated, the SharePoint Site Settings page includes links to the a stand-alone, tabbed interface that enables users to perform a variety of ControlPoint permissions actions and analyses outside of the traditional ControlPoint application interface.

Refer to the ControlPoint Permissions Management for Site Admins User's Guide for complete details about this feature.
