Users Permissions

[MandelloDelLario]

Hi I did have a quick look at Thomas2000's answer for a user problem previously hosted, however, as a newbie to Sharepoint I have just created a basic site and manually added lots of users. These have read permission only but they do appear to still be able to add content. How do I stop this. The site is within our domain, they are domain users,I have Calendar and Events, documents, tasks, decisions and picture library; nothing in the decisions or documents at the moment. Any pointers would be great, thanks

Hi,

Did you add them to the Readers site group when you added the users to the site? If they can add content, then something is wrong. Have you set any special permissions on lists or Document Libraries?

You are sure that they can actually upload content? It is possible for a user with only read permission to actually go all the way to the save&close part of a list item or a document, but then it will not let the user save it.

Did you add the users with their individual accounts, or did you add an Active Directory group?

Is this a top-level site or a subsite? If it is a subsite is it set with unique permissions?

Cheers,
Thomas
