Usually in SharePoint, when you look at your site’s lists and libraries, there is no way to quickly see which ones have their own separate permissions. To get to those permissions pages entails drilling down to the library, to “Document Library Settings”, and then “permissions for this document library”.

In this workshop, “Build a Site Permissions Dashboard – No Code Required!“, Laura Rogers, aka @WonderLaura, will walk through the process of creating a permissions dashboard for your SharePoint site. During the workshop, you will use SharePoint Designer to create your own permissions dashboard, with no code involved, and immediately implement it on your site. Your dashboard will not only display an icon showing whether a list inherits permission or not, but it will also let you link directly to each list’s permissions page!

If you are a Site Administrator or Site Collection Adminsitrator in charge of managing security settings on sites, Build a Site Permissions Dashboard – No Code Required!“, is for you. At the conclusion of the workshop, you will have a process for displaying all lists and library permissions from a site onto a single page, with access to each list or library permissions settings through a single click.
