Hello,
I got confused how should I design SP site structure.
I think about two options :
1. option:
mycompany.sharepoint.com/default.aspx <— can use this root page for the managements documents mycompany.sharepoint.com/product_development
2. option:
mycompany.sharepoint.com/default.aspx <— can use this root page for all users as main intranet gateway with companies branding
mycompany.sharepoint.com/management <— can use this page for the managements documents
company.sharepoint.com/product development
What option is more reasonable permission wise?
Thank you
Hello Gediminas, I would definitely proceed with Option 2 – leave top level site for everyone to access. Also, you are referring to different pages – you are not going to have separate pages, but rather sites. It is best practice, just like Mark mentioned, to control security at the site level. So separate different functions by subsites and set appropriate security for each subsite. This way, you will have main (top level) site accessible by everyone and subsites based on permissions (that you will control via security groups).
Check out this blog post I published on this topic. http://sharepointmaven.com/introduction-to-sharepoint-information-architecture/
Hope this helps
