About regions

The portal area in Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 provides intuitive navigation tools to find and browse all types of content (from documents to people, to a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services-based website ). UseRegionGroups content to organize information in the portal. This allows users to browse information. The area under the "theme" helps users who are not familiar with other areas of the portal to find the required information. A document can appear in multiple different regions. A region can contain documents stored in the SharePoint Portal Server and links to other content sources (such as websites or file sharing. To create an effective portal website structure, you must plan and understand the content of other organizations.

In SharePoint Portal Server, a region has two roles.

First, they provide the navigation structure or ing of the portal website and related content. You can change the view of a user portal by adding, moving, or deleting a region.

Second, they provide a centralized structure for information browsing. In an organized topic hierarchy, readers can be directed to the information they are looking. The region provides a flexible way to describe and find documents.

As a website administrator, you can add users to the Content Manager Website user group. By default, content managers can approve or reject content requests, manage region settings, and add users to the Website user groups in this region. In addition, the website administrator or content manager can specify the target area to be viewed by one or more access groups.
