Locking down documents

[gporter416]

I have an employee portal site setup and I am creating links to documents. I'm trying to limit what users can access what documents. I set NTFS permisssion on the folders where some of the docuements are located but in the portal it seems to have no effect. If the users tryto browse manually the permissions set work.

I'm not sure if SharePoint allows you to monitor/restrict user access. I think the company that I use for SharePoint back-up (AvePoint) is coming out with an auditing product to be used on SP for that purpose.

for sps2003, the security trim is at the site or portal area level. In MOSS2007, there is supposed to be support for item level security.

The item level permissions ni MOSS2007 works good. I have used it for sometime now (the beta 2) and the improvement from 2003 version is huge.

The links you have put in, are links to documents outside SharePoint? i.e. Documents that resides on a fileserver?

Cheers,
