What University system does SharePoint replace?
None. SharePoint is one option for collaboration that is offered by OIT. For more information, see Online Collaboration Tools at Princeton: Answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). Upon request, OIT can assist your department in identifying the most appropriate tool(s) and services to meet your specific needs.

• Any member of the Princeton community can participate in a SharePoint site by authenticating with a Princeton netID and password.
• Any non-Princeton person can participate in a SharePoint site after being added to a secondary directory. Note: this functionality is not implemented yet.
• A person cannot access SharePoint content unless granted access by the web site owner.
• The site owner can assign different permissions: reader, contributor, owner. These permissions can be changed for specific libraries, lists, or documents and items with those libraries and lists.

How does OIT charge for SharePoint use?
OIT offers SharePoint sites at no fee to University departments. Storage charges may apply if a department needs more space than the default quota. OIT is working on the specific charging policy and information will be posted here.

How may I use SharePoint?

• As a site member - if you identify a site you want to be a member of, submit a request to the owner of the site.
• As a site owner - you can request a site by calling the OIT Help Desk, or by completing an online request form.
• You can attend regular scheduled classes provided by OIT Training starting in April 2008.
