Objectifs :

This video aims to guide administrators on how to modify memberships for a SharePoint site, ensuring proper management of site roles and permissions.

Chapitres :

  1. Introduction to SharePoint Membership Management
    In this section, we will explore the process of modifying memberships for a SharePoint site, specifically for a project named 'Training'. Understanding how to manage site roles is crucial for effective collaboration and security.
  2. Accessing the SharePoint Admin Center
    To begin modifying memberships, navigate to the SharePoint Admin Center. In the Active Site pane, locate your SharePoint site project named 'Training'. This is where you will manage the site's membership settings.
  3. Modifying Membership Roles
    Once you have selected the 'Training' site, click on the 'Membership' option. Here, you can change the roles of admins, owners, members, and visitors. It is highly recommended to have at least two owners for redundancy. For instance, Steven is the primary owner, and we will add Amore as the second owner. This ensures that if one owner is unavailable, the other can manage the site.
  4. Understanding Membership Roles
    In SharePoint, members typically consist of individuals within your organization, while visitors are often external users who have read-only access. To add site visitors or members, simply click on the respective options and start searching by name or email address.
  5. Additional Resources
    If you have any questions regarding permissions and memberships, you can visit the 'About Membership and Permissions' section. This resource contains a link that directs you to the Learn Microsoft site for further information.
