The SPBasePermissions Enumeration is used in many components of the SharePoint object model, which can be used to obtain, set or check permissions for users and content, site, lists / libraries, the User Interface and much more.

When working programmatically with the SharePoint Object model, it is easy to determine which rights a user must have to access content or complete various actions, as well as set permissions.

The following article provides a list of objects with properties and methods that return SPBasePermissions for objects and users, as well as inforamtion about uses that don’t require the use of code such as the SPSecurityTrimmedControl class and customisations to the User Interface.

SPBasePermissions Usage With (Programmatic) and Without Code

Some of the programmatic uses provided in the article include:

• Get or set the Base Permissions for a Role Definition in a Web
• Get the current or specified user’s effective SPBasePermissions on an object (SPWeb, SPList, SPListItem, etc.)
• Check if a user has the specified permission(s)

Getting and setting permissions for:

• Layout Page Base
• Trimmed Content on a Page
• SPPermission object
• ConsoleAction object or ConsoleNode
• developer dashboard
• a web application
• Mobile Page
• Toolbar Menu Button
• The Ribbon
• Custom UI Actions / Links

See the full article for more uses of  SPBasePermissions .

1. Restrict SharePoint Content based on Permissions

In this post I explain the steps required to restrict (show/hide) content based on criteria relating to the permissions or authentication status of the current user. References to other tutorials relating to restricting content based on permissions are also provided below.

The SPSecurityTrimmedControl class is used to specify the criteria required for content to be included on a page for a user.  The class has a large amount of functionality that allows specific scenarios to be singled out, or more general scenarios such as the authentication status of a user which would be highly useful when using SharePoint as an internet / public facing website that often has anonymous users accessing the site(s).

The following example uses the SPSecurityTrimmedControl class to restrict content to users with the ManageWeb permission (full control over the current site):

<SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl
     ID="ShowContentSample"
     PermissionsString="ManageWeb"
     runat="server"> 

     <div>Controls or HTML included here will be visible only to users with the ManageWeb permission on the site.</div>

</SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>

The tutorials / articles below provide information and examples on how to use the SPSecurityTrimmedControl class to restrict content:

SharePoint: Show or Hide Content based on Permissions – This article provides details on how to use the class by referring to a specific example scenario where content is only to be shown to users with the Manage Lists or Manage Web permission role on a site.  The article explains how to incorporate multiple permission roles so that a user with any one or more of the associated roles will see the content.

Permission Based Content in SharePoint (With Examples) – This tutorial provides a range of examples for using the SPSecurityTrimmedControl class to restrict content based on permissions and authentication and additional information to help when incorporating other conditions to control the context (Site, List, Item, etc.) and Permission Mode for when multiple permission roles are included (Require a user to have all of the permissions, or any one or more).  Example scenarios include:

• Show content to only a user with full permissions on the site
• Show content to only a user with full permissions on the site
• Show Content to users with access to manage permissions
• Show Content to users who can Add, Edit or Delete List Items in the Current List
• Show a link to Anonymous (not authenticated) users only
• Show a link to Authenticated users only

How to create a custom User Control for use in SharePoint Master Pages, Application Pages and Web Parts.

Building the custom the control using Visual Studio 2010

• Open Visual Studio 2010 and start a new empty SharePoint Project
• Add a User Control to the project from the list of templates for SharePoint 2010
• Add some content or ASP controls to the user control (.ascx file)
• Add code to the .ascx.cs file to populate the User Control with dynamic or static data

Applying The User Control to a page:

Master Page, Application  Page or .aspx page:

• Register the control at the top of the page, giving it a tag name and tag prefix for use in the page content
• Add the user control to the page content using <tagprefix:tagname … >, where tagprefix is the prefix specified when registering the control on the page, and tagname is the name also specified when registering the control.

The summary of steps above were taken from the complete tutorial linked below.  For full details including step by step instructions to build an example User Control that displays the Site Title, List Title and Item / Page details and how to add the User Control to an Application page, please see the following:

How to include the title of the current site in a Master Page that links to the homepage of the site when clicked:

<a href=”<% $SPUrl:~site/ %>” runat=”server”><SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property=”Title” runat=server” /></a>

Details:

• <% $SPUrl:~site/ %> is added to the href attribute of the link, which links to the homepage of the current site.  the <a> tag will need to include the runat=”server” attribute for the link to be generated.
• <SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property=”Title” runat=server” /> is included as the anchor text for the link, which will display the title of the current site.

When this is included in a Master Page the link will always contain the title of the current site, and point to the homepage of the current site.

See the full tutorial, which contains additional information and instructions on how to include this in a Master Page for SharePoint 2010.  This is also to SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) sites as well.

3. Custom Publishing Page Layout using SharePoint Designer

When giving full access to a SharePoint 2007 site to a user, there are times where you would like them to have control over the site and navigation, but not the Global Navigation settings for their site.  A common occurrence is when the top / global navigation menu should be the same on all sites in a site collection, which can be changed via the navigation settings page of a sub site to break inheritance on the top navigation from the parent site.  To restrict the global navigation settings on sub-sites, it is possible to hide this component of the navigation settings page so that only the current site navigation can be modified by a site owner.

Restrict Global Navigation Settings on SharePoint sites.

This is achieved by making a copy of the AreaNavigationSettings.aspx page and removing some of the elements used to display the Global Navigation, and setting the table containing form fields so that it is not displayed using CSS.  Removing the controls from the page can result in an error, which is why CSS is used instead to hide the controls.

The AreaNavigationSettings.apsx page in its original state is renamed to a different filename, which means that it is still accessible by manually entering the address of the page into the browser.  It can also be reinstated by removing the modified version of the page, and renaming the original file back to AreaNavigationSettings.apsx.

It is also a good idea to make the changes to a temporary copy of the page before renaming the original to something else, and the modified version to AreaNavigationSettings.apsx.

The process:

• Make a copy of the AreaNavigationSettings.aspx page and rename it to AreaNavigationSettingsTest.aspx.  (usually found in: c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\TEMPLATES\LAYOUTS )

• Open the “AreaNavigationSettingsTest.aspx” page using a text editor.

• Remove the Title attribute used to display the heading for the Global Navigation section on the page:

 <wssuc:InputFormSection ID="globalNavSection" Title="<%....%>" runat="server">

• Remove the <Template_Description> element from inside the <wssuc:InputFormSection ID=”globalNavSection” .. > element.

• Inside the <Template_Control> element for the global navigation components, add the following inline style to the table containing the form controls:

style="display:none"

• Once you are happy with the changes to the page (test in your browser), rename the original AreaNavigationSettings.aspx to something else, and the modified version to AreaNavigationSettings.aspx .

When you go to the Navigation settings for a site in the site collection, the Global Navigation section will be hidden from the page.  When modifying the navigation for the Root site in a site collection, you still have access to maintain the global navigation that appears on sub-sites.

For more detailed instructions and information, please see: Restrict Global Navigation Settings on Subsites.
