How to give someone access to a SharePoint site

Managing access to SharePoint sites is essential for collaboration, but it can become time-consuming to grant permissions in SharePoint. ManageEngine SharePoint Manager Plus streamlines the process by enabling you to grant site access to multiple users and groups in bulk. You can also select multiple sites simultaneously to provide access without repetitive effort.

Steps to grant a user or a group access to a site:

• Navigate to the Management tab.
• Under Permission Management, select Grant Permissions.
• Select the farm or tenant using the drop-down option.
• Click the icon in the Select Sites field and select the sites that you'd like to provide access to. Use the option to search.

  

• Select the users or groups that require access or import a CSV file to select multiple users in bulk.
• Use the Permission Levels drop-down to assign the required permission level.
• Click Apply.
