SharePoint Designer
SharePoint Designer is a powerful tool for customizing SharePoint sites and adding
functionality. With any tool deployed in an organization, applying an effective
governance plan is key to ensuring responsible use of the tool. SharePoint Server 2010
gives administrators added control over how SharePoint Designer is used in each Web
application. Administrators can control the following options:
• Enable SharePoint Designer: Controls whether SharePoint Designer can be used
at all.
• Enable Detaching Pages from the Site Definition: Determines whether pages can
be detached from the site definition. (SharePoint Designer only allows
customization of a page when the page is put into advanced editing mode. This
will greatly reduce the number of pages that will be detached from the site
definition.)
• Enable Customizing Master Pages and Layout Pages: Controls whether site
administrators are allowed to customize master pages and layout pages.
