There are situations where site sharing may not be the right choice for your organization. The following use cases will help you clarify whether site sharing is right for your organization and, if so, how it can benefit you.
Situation | Recommendation |
1. My organization has very strict security requirements. I need to know exactly who is on site and what they can access | Do not use site sharing. Add individual (guest) workers to your organization and remove them when they are finished with their work |
2. My organization doesn't care which specific person from a given organization is coming to perform work | Use site sharing to share with the organization. The organization itself can determine the permissions of the person doing the work |
3. My organization is responsible for many sites | Use site sharing to delegate access control to participating organizations |
4. My organization is already shared with lots of partners. We no longer work with all of them | Use site sharing to disable or remove organizations you no longer work with. Assign roles to limit the access of partner organizations |
5. My organization has added many users who work for other organizations. I don't know these users or whether they still work for those partners | Use site sharing to share permissions with the organizations rather than the individual users. The other organizations can manage their own users' permissions |
