SharePoint permissions issue

Question

I am a little confused in my about permissions, in my dev environment I have a setup the following permission groups:

• GroupOwners (Full controls).
• GroupMembers (Contribute, Approve).
• GroupVisitors (Read).

I have the following site collections:

SampleBlog/

With the following sites: SampleBlog/News/Contacts/Marketing/Finance/Property

I want to give design permissions to three users only for the following sites:

• User1 has design permissions only for SampleBlog/Contacts.
• User2 has design permissions only for SampleBlog.Marketing.
• User3 has design permissions only for SampleBlog/Finance.

The above users should be visitors for the rest of the sites.

How do I achieve this. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

First, you have to remove permissions inheritance on site : SampleBlog/Contacts SampleBlog/Marketing SampleBlog/Finance

then set permissions on each site like :

Site SampleBlog/Contacts design permissions for User1 Visitor User2,User3

Site SampleBlog/Marketing design permissions for User2 Visitor User1,User3

Site SampleBlog/Finance design permissions for User3 Visitor User1,User2
