The following are my core list of items why
end-users should not have SharePoint Designer installed:
1)
Powerful tool
2)
Need owners access to fully utilize
3)
Spent a lot of time on governance and want
governance to stay intact
4)
Designer can make master page and page layout
changes
5)
Don’t want end users – creating workflows
6)
If SharePoint Designer is installed on one end
users PC – others will follow (need governance then just on using SharePoint
Designer)
7)
Delete site easily
8)
Training issues (keeping up training users with
basics)
9)
Corrupt site easier and break it with just a
chance of some tags
10)
Outside scope of many job titles – end users
shouldn’t be pseudo developers/coders
