Sharepoint Intrant

Hi Everyone, 

 

I have a question, I am creating an intranet and i  want to have a sperate folder for each employee where we can save their time logs, leave salary calculations etc. This is my first every project and i have never worked on SharePoint before. How this can be done?

  • Start by create a document library with folder for each person. The for each folder you need to create unique permissions:
    - right clicking the folder and choose manage permissions
    - choose advanced
    - stop inheriting permissions
    - remove the permissions you don't want e.g. site members and site visitors
    - add the person whose folder it is

    Repeat these steps for each folder.

    You can also set permissions using a Power Automate workflow - details on my blog https://steveknutson.blog/2021/01/23/set-sharepoint-folder-permissions-with-power-automate/

    PowerShell can also be used if you need to create large numbers of folders
