16. Limitations
• Up to 5 000 documents in the same view
• Up to 5(0) 000 security scopes per document library
• Up to 30 000 000 documents per library
• Max 2000 subsites / site collection
• Storage location (for legal purpose)
• For site collections online … pooled storage (25Tb+)
21. Classical SharePoint security
Users are grouped in SharePoint Groups.
Security is by default set at site collection level.
SharePoint Groups can also use LDAP groups.
22. Classical SharePoint security
Permissions level are granted to SharePoint Groups :
- Read
- Contribute
- Full Control
By default, all SharePoint artefact inherits security
permissions from his parent (Sub-site inherits from
collection, etc.).
Administrators can break inheritance at any level :
- Sub site
- Document Library / List
- Folder / Document Set
- Document / List Item
Keep security plan as simple as possible.
Avoid security by folder or document.
Why ?
- Administrator workload
- Unmanageable -> security leak
- Performance issues if more than 50 000 security
scopes by list
23. Compared with classical DMS
• No content type related permissions
• No metadata based permissions
• No permissions on document metadata

• Sharing data (news, calendar, tasks, Wiki, …)

• Integrated BI
32. Keep in mind
• DMS YES and even more!
• Keep permission rules simple and stupid (impact on information
architecture)
• If necessary, replace workflow engine, or wait for Flow evolutions
• Beware of special charaters in file names…
• Volumetry boundaries which impact information architecture
