SharePoint Document Workspace Permissions

Does anyone know the minimum permissions a user must create to create a document workspace? The problem is that I want users to be able to create document workspaces, but for that I had to give the user permission to create subsites, however that means they can now create other subsites.

Is there a workaround for this?

Unfortunately, if you want the user to be able to create the document workspace, they must also have create subsites rights.



If you can remove the need for the user to create document workspaces, you will probably have more options. But this may not be possible for you.

To get around this, I simply wrapped the Site Action menu on the home page in a placeholder. Then, in the code behind the page, a permission was checked that I knew the user would not have. This does not allow the user to access the site actions menu, but this is fine for my solution.



actionMenuPlaceholder.Visible = (
  SPContext.Current.Web.UserIsWebAdmin ||
  SPContext.Current.Web.UserIsSiteAdmin ||
  SPContext.Current.Web.DoesUserHavePermissions(SPBasePermissions.ManageWeb)
);
