Overview

This article describes how to configure Jive to integrate with a SharePoint site. Please note: If you would like to set integration with SharePoint Online or Office 365, follow the steps in setting up Jive for SharePoint Online and Office 365. 

Information

Before configuring the SharePoint Integration, you will need to create connections to Site Collections and install the SharePoint Add-on.

To configure the SharePoint Integration:

1. Click your avatar in the top right of the Jive Community and select Add-ons.
   
   
2. From the Add-ons page, click the Storage Management tab.
   • This is where you can define a different default configuration for each occurrence of SharePoint as a storage provider. Do this if you want different default behavior for specific site collections, or to limit access to a specific site collection.
   • You can use Jive user groups to define who can see which site collections, and assign their default behavior.
     
     
3. To manage visibility or permissions for a site collection, click Add Integration.
   
   
4. When the Add New Integration dialog opens, select SharePoint Storage Integration and type a name to describe this integration in the Display Name field. The name should describe the site or site collection integration.
   
   
5. Click Add.
   
   
6. Use storage providers to set up access to SharePoint site collections by thinking about what Jive User Permission groups are allowed to access which SharePoint Site Collections, which are the SharePoint Connections you created in the Admin Console:

• • • All Users Accessing All Connections
      The most common way to configure Jive for SharePoint is to add a SharePoint Integration that all Jive users can access. You can do this by enabling the Everyone option and allowing all SharePoint Connections.
      
      
    • Some Users Accessing All Connections
      Another way to configure Jive for SharePoint is to limit which Jive users can access all of the SharePoint Integrations. Do this by selecting the Jive User Permissions groups that should have access and then specifying all SharePoint connections.
      
      
    • Some Users Accessing Some Connections
      Another way to configure Jive for SharePoint is to add one or more SharePoint Integrations and limit which Jive users can access them. You can do this by selecting the Jive User Permissions groups and then specifying which integrations they can access.
