Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 provides a centralized location, called Site Settings, for managing all settings for an individual portal site. You can manage users, content, and other aspects of the site by clicking Site Settings on the title bar.
On this page, you can find, for example, general portal site settings, such as branding, site title, and description. You can specify supporting servers for hosting personal sites and other sites based on Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services, and you can manage security and change portal site navigation by adding, removing, or changing the area structure.
In addition, unless your site is participating in a shared services deployment, you can manage user profiles and audiences as well as index and search services relating directly to the site. By using the link to the Central Administration page, you can manage settings related to the server or server farm hosting the site.
Note To access this page, you must be a member of the Microsoft Windows NT SharePoint Administration security group or a member of the local administrators group.
