Sicut multa genera SharePoint Consultoris, I’ve been exposed to a lot of SharePoint functionality. ALIQUOTIES, I dive pretty deep. Other times I just notice it as I’m flying by to another set of menu options. One of those is "self-service site creation." I haven’t had a need for it until this week.
Hoc septimana, I need to solve a business problem which I think is going to become more common as companies loosen up and embrace more direct end user control over SharePoint. In hoc, I’ve designed a site template to support a specific end user community. Folks in this community should be able to create their own sites at will using this template whenever the urge strikes them.
I recalled seeing "self-service site creation" before and I’ve always tucked that away in the back of my head thinking that "self service site creation" lingo est sensus SharePoint, satis patet, something like "turn me on if you want end users to be able to create sites when they want to."
Ita, Ego convertam eum, experior is sicco pro me, it’s not creating sites. It’s creating site Collectiones. Pretty big difference. That’s not what I want, Minime.
It is possible to let end users create new sub sites via a custom permission level. This is exactly where I would have gone in the first place except that the label "self-service site creation" label deceived me. Via twitter, I learn that it’s deceived others as well 🙂
Ego tamen paulo plus operatur quam providere de purus turpis pulvinar sit amet commorantem, but there’s a definite path to follow. Just don’t get distracted by that label.
