How to limit the number of users who can access the SharePoint site collection?

Question

We are implementing the hosted Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 system, and I need to limit the number of users to whom the client can provide access to the site collection. The client should be able to manage his entire collection of sites. He simply will not be able to delete the site itself or add more than a certain number of users to the site collection and subsites.

It appears that with WSS 2.0 you can limit the number of users in a site collection using quota templates. In WSS 3.0, you can still limit the size of the site collection using the quota template, but you cannot limit the number of users.

Answer 1

There is no standard way to limit the number of users that can be added to a site. Not without serious hacking or removal of functions from users.

It is not possible to fix the problem, only manage it:

• Use the peoplepicker-onlysearchwithinsitecollection property with Stsadm.exe to prevent the people collector from returning only users who are already added to the site collection.
• When a hoster grants permission to a user to access a site collection, the hoster must add the user to this site collection.

Site owners can add other users to the site using their full names or SAM account names.
