Sharepoint 2013 Part F

This is the last installment in my blog post series on Microsoft Sharepoint Server 2013 which is based on what I learn from the video training course by Infinite Skills on this software. Skydrive Pro synchronizes with Office and Sharepoint. It is separate to Skydrive which is a free online storage service that stores your personal files. Skydrive Pro basically takes your work offline so it hasn't got to be stored on your company server. In Sharepoint something you come across is permissions that limit what you can view and what you can change. There are 3 types of permissions, no access, read only and full access. You are normally given a profile or a group like admins or sales managers at work that limits what you can do. This profile defines this. You are the admin on your mysite and have full control of that. Sharepoint has 33 levels of groups or permissions. Permissions are applied in such a way that every file isn't individually checked. When something is added your permissions don't have to be reapplied. The person responsible for applying permissions is called a site collection administrator. By default if you can't access a file you need you can email the administrator for permission. People born between 1980 and 2000 and have grown up with social media are called millenials. There are many social media features in sharepoint sites including the ability to rate articles, like articles, average the ratings, show number of ratings given and can tag articles so others can search for them. You can recommend articles to colleagues. Tags are normally divided with in sharepoint with a semi colon and you use the comma key it is automatically changed to a semi colon. I will start a blog post series on Sharepoint Administration and will try and do the first post tonight.
