Join Simon Allardice for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating a Document Center, part of SharePoint 2010 Essential Training.
We have been working with some of the most common SharePoint sites.…things like team sites and Document Workspaces.…And you have seen that the difference in the available site templates is really…based on the focus of the site.…What is the point of the site? What's it for?…Now, let's say you have got a team site.…There is nothing that would stop you from uploading all your company's policies…and procedures into the team site and just making it available to your team.…But the issue is you probably want all the other teams to look at those policies…and procedures as well if they are company-wide.…
Well, you can make everybody a reader on your team site but that's not really an…elegant way of doing it.…Now, there is a New Site template that we can use, that when we make a new site,…it's called the Document Center.…And the Document Center is a site, rather than being organized around a team of…people or one specific document, is a place to store multiple documents.…It's not actually all that different from any other SharePoint site.…

Q: In the "Adding a user to a site" movie, the instructor shows how to add a user to SharePoint and demonstrates by adding a user named “gini.” But gini is already set up and recognized by SharePoint. What if I have no users set yet? How can I add someone?
A: SharePoint doesn't store a separate user database; it wants to be pointed to an existing source of users, like Active Directory. If you don't have that, you need to first add your new users as local accounts on the Windows box you installed SharePoint on. Only then will you be able to give them permission on a SharePoint site.
