Assigning SharePoint Roles to SharePoint User Accounts

Assigning SharePoint Roles to SharePoint User Accounts

SharePoint roles can be assigned directly or indirectly to user accounts. In the case of indirect assignment, employees and SharePoint roles are arranged in hierarchical roles. The number of SharePoint roles assigned to an employee is calculated from the position in the hierarchy and the direction of inheritance. If you add an employee to hierarchical roles and the employee owns a user authenticated user account, the user account is added to the SharePoint role. Prerequisites for indirect assignment of employees to user accounts:

  • Assignment of employees and groups is permitted for role classes (department, cost center, location or business role).
  • The option Group authenticated is not set in the user accounts.
  • User accounts are marked with the option Groups can be inherited.
  • User accounts and SharePoint groups belong to the same site collection.

Furthermore, IT Shop roles can be assigned to employees through SharePoint requests. Add employees to a shop as customers so that SharePoint roles can be assigned through IT Shop requests. All SharePoint roles, which are assigned to this shop as products, can be requested by the customers. Requested SharePoint roles are assigned to the employees after approval is granted.

NOTE: SharePoint roles that reference permission levels with have the option Hidden set, cannot be assigned to business roles and organizations. These SharePoint roles can be neither directly nor indirectly assigned to user accounts or groups.
