Adding a Sub-Site to SharePoint
In order to add a Sub-Site to SharePoint, you need to be under the parent directory. In other words, if you want a sub-site under the root directory, make sure you are in the root SharePoint site..the home site. Once you’re in place, click on Site Actions, then Create.
Next Click on Sites and Workstations
Next, enter a Title (this is displayed at the top of your Sub-site), then a Description, and a URL Name. URL Name should be short. Next, click on the Custom tab under Select a Template, and choose your Custom Template already created. Make sure to click on Use Unique Permissions.
Then click on Create. Next, you will be asked for permissions by Groups. Since you may want to control who has access to individual sites, I would leave this the same. Let the site create unique groups for your sub-site, and should already be chosen.
Once you choose ok, your site is created, and a tab at the top is also updated.
Adding Users to SherWeb and SharePoint
You must first go to your admin page to add a user. http://admin.ihostexchange.net Enter your admin username/password, which I think is mel@melissakmiddleton.com and usual password. From home site, click on New User
Next, add the user information.
I recommend using First Last name, then display name last name, first name. You can leave the rest blank. They will then be listed on the left side of the screen. Next, sign in to your SharePoint Site. Go to the Subsite you want to add the user to, and click on People and Groups on left side
Next, click on the group you want to add the user to then click New, and Add User
Next add username as entered before (first last name @ address), and click on Check Names.
Once the name becomes underlined with no errors, the site found the username and you’re ready to set up the group and permissions. If you already clicked on the right group, this is done for you, and you don’t have to give permissions directly. Next choose if you want to send a note, and add a personal message. Then click OK. Next, click on left side, ALL PEOPLE, then click on the user you just entered, click on Edit, and then add the last name, first name and an e-mail address for that person.
Note username just above (first last name @ address) does not create an actual e-mail address.
