Sharepoint Webparts
I'm in a small business and use the Hub site as a company portal to our team sites via megamenu. We have department and project team sites. All sites are associated with the hub. Each dept has access to their own dept team site only but may be part of the project team site. The issue is neither Events or New Rolls up to the Hub from other team sites for staff except for Admins.
Is there a way I can have new roll up from depts to Hub without giving read access to say HR or Finance Team Site??
- News web parts use the logged in persons search index so it requires permissions on anything you want to roll up. So you might be able to get by with just adding permissions to the site pages library on the sites but this will give access to other pages too but not any content web parts that might be on them.
What I’ve always done is have a SharePoint communication site for departments for org facing information and files threat the whole org can access them a Team with associated SharePoint site joined to the hub for private news and files for the department. And then add tabs in teams to the Org sites files etc. for single access. It worked well.
Anyway hope this helps.

Anyway hope this helps.- Yep, totally agree...if you want to surface news and events to the users, they need to have acecss to them...otherwise, as expected, the won't have access to them and not see them in those webparts
Thanks for the reply, it sounds like in order for the company to see HR News I would have to grant everyone in the company access to HR. That is a non-starter due to sensitive data. There has to be a way to surface news/events without granting everyone access to everything?
