How-to synchronize SharePoint permissions with sharegate

Hi,

Having hard time to move permissions between your SharePoint environments (DEV to QA, QA to PROD, PROD to QA, ...)? This article will show a quick and easy way to synchronize SharePoint 2007 permissions with a tool named sharegate (http://www.share-gate.com).

Step 1 : Enter Source and Destination Server

Step 2 : Choose sites to compare

Step 3 : Select the feature named Permissions

Step 4 : Select the difference to push on the destination server
In this screen you will see all permissions in your SharePoint site Structure. sharegate allow you to :

1. Set permissions to a list
2. Manage Groups and Membership of the site collection
3. Manage Permission Levels of the site collection and sites
4. Set permissions to the site collection
   

By default, all differences between the source and the destination is checked. If you need to synchronize a single list, you can uncheck all other differences.

Step 5 : Click the synchronize button

The last step is to click the Synchronize button. A screen will display all actions that will be executed on the destination server.

That's all! Your security is the same on both servers!
