Using SharePoint to segregate departments in an intranet site.
-
I've just created an intranet site for reporting on production figures. Data capture on the site, and as well as in the report, must be restricted to the logged on user's department, except for certain highly level users that can access all departments. What are my options for achieving this on a SharePoint based intranet? AFAIK the user hierarchy and dept. grouping is maintained on SharePoint, with Windows authentication.

It's fairly easy. Just create however many subsites that you need and set the permissions to unique rather than inherited on each one. If you're planning a large or complex site arrangement for each department, you might want to go with site collections rather than sites. HTH
