808 Part IX: Maintaining a Server in Windows SharePoint Services<br />

Security for Web Parts <strong>and</strong> Web Part Pages<br />

Security for Web Part Pages <strong>and</strong> Web Parts is integrated with security for SharePoint<br />

<strong>Products</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong>, as detailed in Chapter 6, “Security Architecture for<br />

SharePoint <strong>Products</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong>.” A subset of rights affects Web Part Pages<br />

<strong>and</strong> Web Parts, dependent on whether the Web page has been created <strong>and</strong> stored in<br />

a document library or on a site. Also, there are rights unique to Web Part Pages <strong>and</strong><br />

Web Parts. This is detailed in the tables in this section. You can control who can do<br />

what to a Web Part Page <strong>and</strong> the Web Parts on it by allowing, for example, the following<br />

actions:<br />

■ A site reader to view, but not to personalize, a Web Part Page<br />

■ A site contributor to browse <strong>and</strong> personalize a Web Part Page on a site, but not<br />

to make changes to a Web Part Page or its Web Parts for all users in shared<br />

view<br />

■ A Web designer to browse, create, customize, <strong>and</strong> make changes to a Web Part<br />

Page <strong>and</strong> its Web Parts on a site or in a document library for all users in shared<br />

view<br />

If at one time any user has had View Pages or View Items rights but they have<br />

been removed, the user can still delete personalizations made to Web Part Pages.<br />

The Web Part will revert to its shared property values.<br />

Note Although Web Parts are detailed in Chapter 31, it is easier to<br />

describe the security implications for Web Part Pages <strong>and</strong> Web Parts<br />

together in this section.<br />

Once a user has personalized a Web Part Page, there is no automatic way to<br />

replace these personalized changes by a system administrator or a user with appropriate<br />

permission. However, a system administrator or a user with appropriate permission<br />

can go to the Web Part Maintenance page as discussed in Chapter 31 <strong>and</strong><br />

delete all personalized changes there. Any personalized changes made by any user<br />

will revert to the shared property values.<br />

Table 30-1 summarizes how the different rights affect a user’s experience when<br />

working with Web Part Pages <strong>and</strong> Web Parts on a site <strong>and</strong> in a document library.
