Chapter 4. Administering and Securing SharePoint Content

Most organizations store a variety of content in SharePoint—content that supports scenarios as diverse as a public-facing Internet website and a highly collaborative, confidential project. Content in SharePoint is partitioned into site collections, which are stored in content databases. The content is secured using a flexible and powerful permissions model, so that a user can only access content at a level that has been granted by an administrator. In this chapter, you will learn two of the most important sets of concepts and tasks that you must master to successfully implement SharePoint: how to manage site collections and content databases, and how to ensure that site content is secure.
