Adding Members Quickly
By default, SharePoint uses network domain accounts to authenticate users. Once authenticated, SharePoint checks the user's identity against the list of members for the site. If the user is a member, he or she is granted permissions based on the group that he or she belongs to (Guest, Reader, Contributor, Web Designer, or Administrator).
You can add individual members to your SharePoint site by following the procedure in "Adding Members" earlier in this chapter, but that can be a lot of work if you have a large organization with a lot of users. To add everyone that has a network account quick access:
From your SharePoint site, choose Site Settings â Go to Site Administration â Manage anonymous access. SharePoint displays Figure 2-28.
Select Yes under Allow all authenticated users to access site, choose the Reader or Contributor group for those users and click OK.
