An In-depth Exploration of the SharePoint Limited Access Permission Level
Speaker: Mike Smith, SharePoint MVP and Senior Instructor at MAX Technical Training
Have you ever wondered about what “Limited Access” is? How users get assigned Limited Access? What it grants them? And, how to clean it up?
In this session we will explore in detail:
–What steps a Site Owner or a Team Member performed that gave someone else Limited Access to their site and content.
–How to discover Limited Access has been applied to your site using both the browser and PowerShell. (Don’t panic…PowerShell skills are not required.)
–What a user with Limited Access can discover about your site.
–How to prevent the accidental granting of Limited Access.
–Best practices for sharing content, managing permissions inheritance and limiting Limited Access.
–How to clean up Limited Access.
This topic applies equally to SharePoint 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016 and Online. The demos will use both SharePoint 2016 and SharePoint Online/Office 365.

Title: If I ran the SharePoint Zoo
Abstract:
Metadata can be a scary word for those who don’t know what it means, much less know its value or how it can be used. Getting end users out of the habit of using folders and to start using metadata is a hard transition. In this session, we will explore some of the ways to set up, use, sort, and view metadata. Learn ways to make it easy for your end users and they finally can see the value in it over folder set up. Finally, we will test out using metadata in a simple set up side by side with folders to truly test the advantages.
