Share Point 2013 - User Settings not initialised

Hi there, 
We are using the SharePoint 2013 server on top of Windows 2012.
We've recently created  user profile application service and activated the Site Feed feature. 
After that one of our users experiences an annoying thing, she is being redirected from the Home Page to another page that says "Edit user settings" and "User settings not initialized ". No other user is experiencing these issues. Please
help.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that a spectial user got "Edit User Settings" when visiting a site collection.
I recommend to
remove the user from that site collection completly and then re-add him. You can select Site Settings, under "Users and Permissions", click People and groups. Select the group and user to remove it.
In addition, you need to check the user permission. You can select Site Settings, under "Site permissions", click People and groups. Click Check Permissions, enter the user.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:

  • Share Point 2013 Designer not showing platform as "Share point 2013 Workflow" at the time of workflow creation.

    Hi All,
    I am trying to create workflow for my Share Point 2013 site. To do this, I installed Share Point 2013 Designer,
    then created couple of workflows in that, using "Share point 2013 Workflow" platform.
    But when today, I tried to create workflow, I found that "Share point 2013 Workflow"  platform option was not there. Because of that I am unable to create and deploy workflow on my SP 2013 site.
    I am really not getting the problem. As I created some workflows using "Share point 2013 Workflow"  platform on same share point designer and now I dont see that option in dropdown.
    Please suggest me something for this. I tried all possible solution which are present on internet.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Since you are posting the thread in SharePoint 2013 server forum, I assume you are using SharePoint server 2013.
    I understand the option SharePoint 2013 platform disappears when you create a workflow in Designer, the issue might be caused by workflow manager. Please refer to the article below and check workflow configuration per the steps listed:

  • Captivate 6 video files not loading on share point 2013

    Hello,
    I use Adobe Captivate 6 and have courses that I'm loading to a share point site for learners to access. I worked off of my C: drive, then copied the published folders on a shared drive. I then linked the html URL to play the course.
    When the courses were built, some simulations were recorded in video mode. I noticed that in the published folder, Captivate creates mp4 files. For some reason, when the course plays on share point, it does not play these files and the course clocks until you advance to the next slide. Everything else works fine, no issues.
    I'm looking to see if anyone else has encountered this same issue and am curious what was done to fix it.
    Thanks! Marissa

    Thanks for the reply Ron! I checked with my share point admin and she said that share point 2013 (our version) can play mp4 files, so there shouldn't be an issue there.
    She's not familiar with Captivate so it's kind of difficult getting to the root of the problem, but somewhere along the line, when the course link is accessed, Captivate is looking for that mp4 file to play it, and it cannot find the file.
    I thought then maybe I would take the mp4 file in the published folder and try to embed the video directly into the course, but I haven't tried that.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks, Marissa

  • Open pdf in mobile browser (share point 2013)

    hello,
    I need to Open pdf  in mobile  browser (share point 2013).i tried browser handling type in  permissive mode.
    but i couldn't view the pdf when i access through mobile browser.
    is there any work around to do this .?
    any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks regards, Vignesh.

    Per the earlier thread, your best bet is to use Office Web Apps in conjunction with SharePoint 2013 to display PDFs. Otherwise a browser needs a control (which most if not all mobile browsers will not have) to handle viewing PDFs in the browser.

  • What are share point server 2013 & Share point Designer 2013 & Office 365 & Yammer & Share point 2013 & Windows server 2008 server & Windows Server 2012 Server Data Center?

    I need some clarifications.
    What are share point server 2013 & Share point Designer 2013 & Office 365 & Yammer & Share point 2013 & Windows server 2008 server & Windows Server 2012 Server Data Center? How each them are related in collaboration system?
    Is Share point server 2013 and Share pointer Designer 2013 available in 32bit version? If not, then how to use it in 32 bit machine by using any VMs?
    Thanks
    Senthil

    SharePoint Server 2013:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-sharepoint-collaboration-software-FX103479517.aspx
    SharePoint Designer 2013:
    Designer is used to develop SharePoint pages using HTML/CSS/JS as well as SharePoint Designer Workflows
    Yammer:

    Windows Server is Windows, but the Server OS. SharePoint runs on top of supported Windows Servers editions (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx).
    SharePoint Server is 64-bit only (trial:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh973397.aspx), although Designer does have a 32-bit edition (full product:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35491).
    You will need the capability to run 64bit VMs. Minimum recommended all-in-one VM for SharePoint is to allocate 24GB of RAM, but you can get away with as little as 12GB (I wouldn't go below that). Because of this, it generally rules out 32bit OSes as a virtual
    machine host.

  • Move dashboards from perfomance point server 2007 to share point 2013

     Hello every one,
    can you please help me in the below.
    I have to move the reports and dash boards from old to new share point (2013) site. There is already a share point site built and running successfully. I need to add 1 section of dash boards and reports into sharepoint 2013 from the old site.
    For this I need to add new sub site site rite? My question here is how to bring dash boards and reports from old site to new site (share point 2013).
    Old site is performance point server 2007 and new site is share point 2013.
    Thanks
    Kumar

    Given you aren't using PowerPivot for SharePoint, you can continue using SSAS 2008 R2 for your cubes and data connections. BI dashboards, Lists, and so forth are just SharePoint content, and they get upgraded when you migrate to 2013.

  • How can i upload two different logos for 2 sub sites [which falls under one super site ] in share point 2013 ?

    hello,
    How can i upload two different logos for 2 sub sites [which falls under one super site ] in share point 2013 ?
    thanks,
    Jay

    Hi,
    I understand that it applied first logo to all other sub sites.
    Please make sure that you change the logos in the subsites.
    If we change the logo in the root site, the logos in the subsites will be changed at the same time.
    However, we can change the logo in the subsites separately.
    We can go to a subsite, click the Site Sitting-> Look and Feel-> Title, description, and logo->Insert Logo->select a picture, then it will has a different logo than the root site.
    Then go to the other subsite, click the Site Sitting-> Look and Feel-> Title, description, and logo->Insert Logo-> select another picture, then it will has a different logo that the first subsite.

  • SRM user settings not populated

    Hello,
    We are using SAP SRM 7.02 with NWBC and  we are testing this in sandbox.user id has been assigned to sap_all and new and SAPSRM/employee_ehp1 role.
    NWBC Launched --> Click on SRM user settings---> not populating the details/page navigation to details page is not opening.Pls see the screen shots.
    When click on the SRM user settings same page is opening.
    Please provide you inputs to resolve this.
    Ranjit.

    You observation is correct and it is the standard design of such portal roles as SRM Administrator, SRM Strategic Purchaser, or SRM Operational Purchaser to not have "personalization", but only Employee Self Service role.

  • In Share point 2013 how to add more than 2 group by in list

    In Share point 2013 how to add more than 2  group by in list .

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to group by on more than 2 columns in a List View in SharePoint 2013.
    There is no out of the box way to achieve your scenario directly.
    As a workaround, we can use the following method to achieve it.
    First, we can insert Data View Web Parts in SharePoint Designer 2013.
    It’s because the SharePoint Designer 2013 can’t support Design view, then the Data View Web Parts XSL cannot be visually manipulated.
    You can refer to the following article to insert a Data View Web Part.
    http://www.synergyonline.com/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=259
    And then, you can use the following solution that can be used to
    group by on more than 2 columns in a view
    to implement it in SharePoint Designer 2013.

  • How to visualize the power map in office 365 or share point 2013??

    Hi,
    I have designed the power map within excel.
    Here power map can be able to saw within excel, but  i need to visualize to web browser like share point 2013 or office 365.
    Anyone know how to display it?
    Thanks,
    Ramu

    With Power Map you have the ability now to create a video of the tour when you are done.  You can then use this video file to share the tour in SharePoint, in Power Points, YouTube, etc.
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/export-a-power-map-tour-as-a-video-HA104106952.aspx
    At this point this is the only way to share the tours unless you open up the Excel file and launch Power Map.

  • Office 2010 User Settings NOT Migrated After Uninstall-Upgrade to 2013

    Greetings,
    We are in the final stages of preparing for an enterprise rollout of Office 2013, upgrading our user base from Office 2010. When we deployed Office 2010, we used the Office scrubber tool to remove Office 2003 and install Office 2010. Employing this same
    technique, which is
    fully documented by Microsoft as the recommended approach, the user settings from Office 2010 do not migrate to Office 2013. For example, the default save paths. If you set this to say, "C:\Temp", in Office 2010, that path will be changed
    after upgrading to 2013. There are other settings impacted as well and hoping that someone has seen this or knows what might be going on. The method we've used during pilot is an in-place upgrade from 2010 to 2013 and that will retain settings but we also
    see cases where the upgrade isn't clean and components of Office 2010 can be left behind. It is critical to a successful deployment that the uninstall-upgrade approach works flawlessly.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Hi Jori,
    There are three types of permissions in the Manage User Permissions in User Profile Service Application(UPS): Create Personal Site, Follow People and Edit Profile and Use Tags and Notes.
    If all the three permissions have been revoked from the user, then the user will not existed in the Manage User Permissions in UPS.
    So you don’t need to anything else to remove the users from Mange User Permission in UPS after revoking all the permissions from the user.
    As for the error when accessing Mange User Permissions in UPS, I recommend to restart the User Profile Service and add the user account to the Administrators of the User Profile Service Application.
    In Central Administration, highlight the User Profile Service Application and then click Administrators in the ribbon.
    If above cannot work, please provide more error message for the correlation ID in ULS log for further research.
    For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • Share point in server admin not working correctly... I think

    I suspect that the share point in server admin is not working correctly. In workgroup manager when I click on a user and then click on the "home" tab, under the full path field I see a file path of:
    afp://server.mydomain.com/Users
    However if I go to Server Admin -> AFP -> Share Points then click on the Users share and then click on the share point tab below, enable auto mount is disabled. How can this be possible? I thought for a directory to show up in home in workgroup manager it had to be set as an auto mount. Has something possibly corrupted? And what?

    Here's a bit more information about our setup and our experiences with Apple's CUPS implementation:
    On the server, all printer queues are set up with only lpr and ipp sharing enabled with the PPD setting for each printer set to Generic Postscript. We found that setting the PPD to the printer specific one on the server caused problems when clients tried to use printer specific options, like paper tray selection, etc.. The selection would be undone, apparently because the driver on the server would override the previous settings. Using Generic Postscript allows the client PPD settings to go through unmodified. Our printers are general a mix of HP LaserJets and some Sharp Copiers.
    All clients use lpd to the server queues with the printers' actual PPDs configured. Using ipp is superior in that printer feedback (jams, out of toner, etc) makes it back to the clients, but ipp only works when the client, the server, and the printer are on the same network. If the ipp client is not on the same network, the client spooler immediately goes into a paused state and the print job is stuck on the client.
    Using lpd to the server queues works reliably, but there is no feedback to the client. Jobs disappear from the client queue and go to the server, appearing to the user as a successful print. If the printer is down, there's nothing they can see or do about it.

  • User Settings not working.  Please help!

    <TD noWraplign=right>I am trying to build some interactive portlets using User prefs and have had no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Here is my code for the first portlet (view_course_defaultView is set as a user preference in the web service):
    privatevoidPage_Load(objectsender, System.EventArgs e)
    IPortletContext context = PortletContextFactory.CreatePortletContext(Request, Response);
    IPortletRequest pRequest = context.GetRequest();
    IPortletResponse pResponse = context.GetResponse();
    IPortletUser user = context.GetUser();
    try
    if(user.HasSettingsRight(SettingType.User))
    pResponse.SetSettingValue(SettingType.User, "view_course_defaultView", "All");
    else
    Response.Write("You can't do that");
    catch(Exception ex)
    Response.Write(ex.Message + ex.StackTrace);
    Here is my code for the second portlet (again view_course_defaultView is set as a User preference in the Web Service):
    privatevoidPage_Load(objectsender, System.EventArgs e)
    try
    IPortletContext pContext = PortletContextFactory.CreatePortletContext(Request, Response);
    IPortletResponse pResponse = pContext.GetResponse();
    IPortletRequest pRequest = pContext.GetRequest();
    IPortletUser pUser = pContext.GetUser();
    if(pUser.HasSettingsRight(SettingType.User))
    Response.Write(pRequest.GetSettingValue(SettingType.User, "view_course_defaultView"));
    Response.Write(pRequest.GetSettingCollection(SettingType.User).Count);
    catch(Exception ex)
    Response.Write(ex.Message + ex.StackTrace);
    The only thing written to the screen in the second portlet is 0 for the User settings count. Does anyone see what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks,

    I am having the same issue.  The Admin, Portal and CommunityPortal prefs set fine.  However, the user pref will not set.  Could this be because this pref is not to be set in this manner?
