Grant or Remove Access to a SharePoint Drive

How To:

• How to Grant Access to a SharePoint Drive

Applies To:

• DACS/Folder Owners- the owner or Departmental DAC can grant access to folders

Steps:

1) On hornet365.com click on your role at the top (Employees, Faculty). Click the SharePoint icon. 

2) Once you have reached the SharePoint page click on SharePoint Drive.  

3) Scroll down if you do not see your main folder listed. In this example, we will choose the Demo Library. If you have more than one departmental folder, you will see them listed separately inside. Each folder inside with the cloud icon has its own unique permissions, so access will need to be granted for each top-level folder. Open the folder you want to grant permission.

4) You will now see the documents/folders for the SharePoint Drive you selected. To grant access click on the gear (settings) on the upper right-hand side. Then choose Site permissions. (Only folder owners and DACs can grant access)

5) On this section you can see who already has permission or you can remove or add users, 

• Site Owners: Never give permission to allow a user to be a site owner. This gives a user a DAC permission level.  
• Site Members: This allows users to read and edit. 
• Site Visitors: This allows read only access. 
• To remove access click on the dropdown menu by the user’s name. Choose Remove. 

To grant access click Share site.

6) Type in the name or username of who you want to add. Caution: If there happens to be more than one user with the same name, you will need to search by username to ensure you have chosen the correct one. As you type the user will automatically begin to populate. Choose the user.  

1. Choose Read or Edit permissions from the drop-down menu. Do not choose Full Control! 
2. Uncheck the box so no email will be sent or include a message. We recommend unchecking the box and not sending a message. 
3. Click Add
