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 acc...
- 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.
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?
When you build pages for news articles. All the content you add / pictures etc. will all be stored on that site mostly. Unless you create news articles all from internet links and text then you could just give access to the news articles (site pages) library as I was saying. Otherwise they have to have permission to the site to see the content in the news articles.
Hence why I recommend having communication sites with everyone having permission separate from their private information sites. Give HR owner permission to the comm site do they can design and add news. Then connect this to the hub so it rolls up. Now you have a public or org facing entity that everyone can see and you set that boundary for HR.
