How to add a user to an existing Sharepoint 2007 site
This article presumes that you are the owner or administrator of an existing Sharepoint 2007 site. If you need instructions on how to create a Sharepoint site, please look at this article.
Go to the main page of your Sharepoint site. On the left-hand side, there will be a People and Groups link. Click that to bring you to this page:
Click that to bring you to this page:
Click the arrow next to the New button and select Add Users.
Here you have the option to add users by name, UWnetID (preface this with ISCHOOL\ or NETID\ depending on which domain they are in), or group (Faculty, Staff, Students, etc). Click the person/checkmark icon to make sure their name or UWnetID is accurate. You can also search through the address book (click the book icon) if you are unsure of the exact spelling of a person's name. There is also the option to add users to groups with pre-defined permissions levels or give them permissions directly. Finally, you can send your users notification they have been added to your site. Once you are satisfied with all your changes, hit OK to add people to your site.
You will then see your newly added users in the My Sharepoint Site Members section.
