How to Create a SharePoint User Group

by Helen Jones | Jan 30, 2012

When speaking with customers, I often need to supply them with quick "how to" guides that help remind them how to do some of the most common tasks required to be a skilled DocRead administrator.

This blog post explains in very simple terms how to create a SharePoint group! Treat it as a quick-reference guide.

1. Log in as an administrator and navigate to the site where the group is to be used.

2. On the site's home page select ‘Site Actions’, then ‘Site Permissions’.

3. On the Permissions page, select the ‘Create Group’ icon from the ‘Permission Tools – Edit’ ribbon.

4. Complete the form with the relevant information about the group you wish to create.

5. Once all of the necessary information has been entered, click the ‘Create’ button.

6. The new SharePoint group will be created and you will be taken to the People and Groups page.

Compliance using DocRead

DocRead logoDocRead for SharePoint can help you manage policy compliance by:

  • Targeting documents or policies at specific groups of users
  • Allowing a specific amount of time for users to confirm agreement 
  • Sending email reminders when policy compliance is overdue
  • Users self-certify that they have read and fully understood the policy details
  • Securely storing records of confirmed policy acceptance
  • Monitoring the user acceptance of policies via a reporting suite
  • Providing detailed reading reports and statistics
  • Report drill through to show who has not accepted the policy
  • Automatically sending historic compliance tasks and policies to new users when they are added to a group
  • Bringing policy compliance requests immediately to users attention when they log on

DocRead is simple to install and configure. It seamlessly integrates with SharePoint and can be added to any existing SharePoint site.
