Editing SharePoint Settings

To register SharePoint Services on your domain thus making you the administrator of such services H-Sphere needs the following pieces of information to be used for sending electronic mail to your SharePoint users:

• SMTP server - outgoing server name
• From e-mail address
• Reply-to e-mail address

It will take your default setting for this purpose (H-Sphere SMTP server and e-mail address from your contact info). Later you can change these settings if needed.

Besides, H-Sphere will need an e-mail address to register SharePoint Services on. It will also take e-mail address from your contact info, although this address is not changeable.

To edit SharePoint settings, do the following:

1. Click the Web options icon on the control panel home page.
2. Select the domain where MS SharePoint is enabled.
3. On the Web Service page click the Edit button against SharePoint.

Managing SharePoint Users

Important! General Recommendations

1. We recommend you to add and delete SharePoint users via H-Sphere interface.
2. Users can be added/deleted via your SharePoint site as well, however at the next synchronization of H-Sphere and SharePoint databases (their user parts) all changes will be lost (newly created users deleted and deleted users recovered). Each synchronization takes place at the moment of adding/deleting users via H-Sphere interface.
3. All users added via H-Sphere interface become readers. You can later change their SharePoint status to admins, contributors etc. Please take notice that after recovery of your provider's system these changes will be lost.
