How to provide Contribute permission to a sharepoint group?
Posted: Nov 11, 2009 4:22 AM

Hi,

I created a new Sharepoint group using powershell. I need to provide "Contribute" permission on a sharepoint library for this group in the sharepoint site.

How do I achieve this?

REgards,

This script looks like a good starting point > http://sharepointpsscripts.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=21699#DownloadId=77312

The RootWeb property is helpful. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spsite.rootweb.aspx

Will look into this more...

Try this:

[string] $SiteUrl = "http://yoursite/"
[string] $GroupName = "yourgroupname"
[string] $RoleName = "Contribute"

[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")

$site = New-Object -typeName "Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite" -argumentList $SiteUrl

$site.RootWeb.Roles[$RoleName].AddGroup($site.RootWeb.SiteGroups[$GroupName])

$site.Dispose()

Hi,

But What about the document library on which I want to set my group with contribute permission? The script you provided just attached a role to the group but not to the particular document library..

Please clear me if I am wrong.

So it seems like you created a group, now we have the code to assign a role to the group. Guess all that's left is to assign the group to the document library. I'll take a look.

This was tricky ...

Try this -

[string] $SiteUrl = "http://dgappimg:1000/"
[string] $GroupName = "BFA Users Group"
[string] $RoleName = "Contribute"
[string] $LibraryName = "User Documentation"

[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")

$site = New-Object -typeName "Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite" -argumentList $SiteUrl

$site.RootWeb.Lists[$LibraryName].BreakRoleInheritance($true)

$roleassignment = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPRoleAssignment ([Microsoft.SharePoint.SPPrincipal]$site.Rootweb.SiteGroups[$GroupName])

$roleassignment.RoleDefinitionBindings.Add($Site.RootWeb.RoleDefinitions[$RoleName])

$site.RootWeb.Lists[$LibraryName].RoleAssignments.Add($roleassignment)

$site.Dispose()
