Basic Sharepoint Understanding! - Navigation and Structure
Dear Experts,
I am new to SP and I am trying to swap our current intranet (based on the open source "Plone" product) over to SP 2010.
What I am looking to do in the first instance is create a simple intranet with a hierarchy of folders where I can give permissions to certain people to control what ever they want under those folders.
IE
Intranet Root
'---> Folder 1
' -----> some pages
'--->Folder 2
' -----> some more pages
Only Folder 1 and 2, I would like to be able to set permisisons that should be inherited on the pages "Wikis I think!" below
Afterwards I would then like to add Doucment Librarys etc. etc. etc.
Can you tell me:
If I am going about this completely the wrong way?
'---> If No, then what is the best way to do this as I cannot find a way to create "folders" with permission capabilities and then get them to appear in a nice hierachy of a navigation strucutre
'---> If Yes, how would you recommend that I go about this...
Thanks,
Jaggie

Coming on nicely now!
Just a quick other question... Bit naughty to role it in here but.
If I create a subsite and then remove permissions for certain users will it hide that item on the menu bars? Or will it leave it visible and then give them an error message when they click on it...

Thanks ImaCircularSaw, You have really helped me quickly understand the best way to get my SP site going.
It is already starting to look good! I have been absent from EE for a while, this has reminded me why I paticipate as an Expert and as a dummy!
See you around!

No problem! By the way, when something is removed from the menu bar or search results because the user has no permission to see that item, it's called security trimming.
Good luck with SharePoint!

I thought that my current thinking was a little off, this helps clarify it...
The only think that I am worried is about is when you are inside a site it is diffilcult to jump out and go to another site that is on the same level. IE from your example when you are in the HR site to jump out and go to the IT Site.
How can I make a navigation tree that would show something like this...?
Thanks again for your speedy and in depth response. You are saving me a great deal of time and I appreciate it :)
