Today the last day we are going to go into Security and Search. Two of the topics that interest me the most….

Security:

Who is responsible for Security: Most people will say IT. However for information architecture perspectives, the reality is that each piece of data needs a data owner. The security should be up to them since they know and understand that data the best. IT may implement the security based on guidance from the data owner.

However in broader terms, EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SECURITY

Important Notes

1. MOSS has good fine grained permissions

2. Permission Inheritance

3. Views are security trimmed.

I may be biased on that last one.

In a controlled environment NEVER EVER EVER give an individual user permissions to a site, list, or library. It is way too much over head to manage, and will get out of control too quickly.

SEARCH:

Search TIP. USE BEST BETS AND KEYWORDS. They are GREAT!
