Restrict the insertion of users to a sharepoint List -- Out of the Box (Add only users in particualr groups to a list.)

Scenario : There is a list called Subsite Owners . And i need to add only the users who belong to a particular sharepoint group to the list Subsite Owners . How do i do it?


Inorder to achieve this , we would need to create a people picker field( the field wich will hold the user names) . The choose from option allows you to sepcify the user group from which the users can be added from .

EG:  I need the user to be added only from a group called subsite9 owners ?

Solution : Create a new column as a person or Group field  as shown below

Then in the Choose from option select the sharepoint group from which you want the users to be added . This will only allow the users in the selected group to be added to the list.

  2. This particular property is used to set the target audience for Sharepoint people picker control in custom webparts. By specifying a particular site group, the people picker adress book will display only those group members. Even if the user types an invalid user id , the entry remains unresolved.
