Hosting your organization’s OneNote notebooks<\/b> in a SharePoint document library<\/b> offers the advantages of organizing them in one location, and the flexibility to decide who can access them by setting permissions. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The job of creating a library and configuring permissions usually falls on the shoulders of the SharePoint site administrator<\/b>. We will walk you through the steps required to perform the following tasks: <\/p>\n Your organization has numerous OneNote notebooks on many different topics: budgets, inventory, product planning. They are scattered around the company, and people have a hard time tracking them down. You need a central place to store them, and decide a OneNote document library will do the trick.<\/p>\n 1. On your SharePoint site, click the Site Actions<\/b> dropdown, and select the New Document Library<\/b> option.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. On the Create<\/b> dialog, enter a name and description for the document library. In the Document Template<\/b> dropdown, select Microsoft OneNote 2010,<\/strong> and then click the Create <\/b>button. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n After SharePoint creates the Library, it will automatically open it so you can then set permissions. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Some information in your notebooks is sensitive, so you don’t want just anyone to have access. You can restrict access, to give people varying levels of permission; for example, you give a select few the capability to update them.<\/span><\/p>\n Note: <\/strong>You can learn more about the SharePoint permission levels here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/span>1. Select the Library <\/b>tab under Library Tools,<\/b> and then click the Library Permissions<\/b> button. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. Click the Stop Inheriting Permissions<\/b> button. This ensures that permissions set for the entire SharePoint site will not be applied to the library.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. A dialog box lets you know that you’re about to create permissions for the library<\/a> . Click OK<\/b> to accept. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4. To give access to particular people in your organization, click the Grant Permissions<\/b> button.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5. On the Grant Permissions<\/b> dialog, enter the names of the people you want to give access to. In this case, give them Design<\/b> permissions, which lets them update and create new notebooks, but not grant permissions to others. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n They can also make changes to existing notebooks in the library by <\/a>selecting to either Edit in Browser<\/b> or Edit in Microsoft OneNote<\/b>. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Note:<\/strong> In order to create a new notebook in SharePoint, users must have the OneNote desktop application installed on their computer.<\/p>\n You might want to restrict permissions even further to limit the number of people who can change a particular notebook. You can manage permissions on a single notebook in much the same manner as you do for the entire document library. <\/p>\n 1. Point to the notebook you want to restrict access to, select the dropdown next to the notebook name, and then click Manage Permissions<\/strong>. <\/p>\n 2. Follow the same steps for setting permissions on Library, i.e. stop inheritance of permissions and grant permissions to particular individuals. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n More Info<\/b><\/p>\n Tight Teamwork: OneNote on SharePoint<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n Was this topic useful?
