Hi ,

What are the voting permissions to enable users to vote to a survey ? And what is the right way of doing it ?

I don't want to give all users the ability to add lists or webpart to vote !!

Please help.

Thank you for your time and effort :)
 
Hello,

You can set specific rights only on the Survey list you have created. What you need to set is the right to add things to the list.

"The right way to do it" depends on your setup and how you are managing your users. In some cases I have created a custom site group and assigned it with the add rights to only my specific survey list.

the latest thing I did was to allow all authenticated users to access a site (I put them as readers) then I assigned the Add rights for the reader sitegroup only to the survey list.

To assign list specific user rights click on the list you want to modify, chose modify settings and columns, chose change permissons for this list.

Regards,
Thomas
 
Thomas2000 ,

Thank you for your fast answer , It applies for sps services and will not work with area (portal).

Although I found another solution I'll share with you and every one. Try this :


- Select Manage Content from there area where your document library or list lives in the portal
- Select the document library or list from the ones available
- Select Modify settings and columns for that list
- Take a look at the url you've gone to. You'll see listedit.aspx?List={... The numbers between the {} characters is the GUID for that list. The easiest way to get from this page to the ShrOpt page is to change the URL from this:
to this:
- Now you'll be at the Change Permissions: Document Library (or list) page
- Modify the permissions as you normally would, adding or removing users and setting up permissions.

These permissions will only be applied to the document library and not to the entire area so you can now create read-only areas with editable lists. Enjoy!
 
Hi,

Correct, it only applies to WSS, so thanks for listing your solution for the area (portal)!

Cheers,
Thomas
 
abbood, sounds good. Have a little sip of purple star. I haven't tried it yet, but sounds great. If it is that easy why didnt MS just build it in?
 
Just tried it, like it a lot :)

I think I played around with this before but could never get it to go. heeeheeeeheeee I'm giggling like a little girl. I Love it.
 
ouzojd ,

Thank you for the stars they taste good :)

I tried it and it's working perfectly.

If you need further help please let me know maybe we can help each other.

Thank you for your time.
