SharePoint 2013 - Site Settings - Users and permissions - "Access Request and invitations" link missing

I am site collection administrator and have configured the outgoing email in Central administration but "Access Request and invitations" link is missing, pl advice any additional configurations for this link to show up
I was though able to configure access requests by going to Site Settings->Users and permission and on the ribbon selected "Access Request Settings"
What is the difference in either of the approaches?
Thanks
Abhishek

Hi there,
I noticed this post, and didnt really find an appropriate solution to your issue. I noticed the same issue when dealing with Access Requests. First of all to make sure that the Request feature is enabled, you need to access
Site Settings -> Site Permissions -> Access Request Settings -> Make sure the
'Allow access requests' option is enabled.
The Allow access screen just allows you to enable the feature and also to specify a email address that notifications are sent to. Whereas the 'Access Requests and Invitations' section provides a screen to manage Access Requests and request history.
I noticed then that the Access Requests and Invitations link under 'User and Permissions' didnt actually appear until someone actually requests to join the site. It seems that this is needed to display the screen. Once actioned once, the option stays there.
Hope it helps

Sharepoint 2013 - Site Settings shows $Resources:ReportServerResources,ReportServerSiteSettingsGroupTitle;

I didn't notice this before, but I have 2 site collections, one shows this when I go to Site Settings:
$Resources:ReportServerResources,ReportServerSiteSettingsGroupTitle;
$Resources:ReportServerResources,ScheduleList;
$Resources:ReportServerResources,SiteLevelSettings;
$Resources:ReportServerResources,ManageSiteDataAlerts;
and the other one doesn't.
Thise are hyperlinked and when I click on the links I get an error "Something Went Wrong".
The one that is showing this in Site Settings also has the Features Activated:
$Resources:ReportServerResources,FeatureTitle;
$Resources:ReportServerResources,FeatureDescription;
and
$Resources:ReportServerResources,RSAdHocReportDesignerFeatureTitle;
$Resources:ReportServerResources,RSAdHocReportDesignerDescription;
I've seen another person ask this question, but doesn't explain why the Site Collection Feature also looks like that, it doesn't look like it should be that way.
The Reporting Service was setup previously and it really hasn't been utilized yet. I don't remember seeing it before. Could something have gotten corrupted?
Thanks

Hi Kim,
If the issue site, is there custom site feature or the issue site is created based on custom site template? If so, then try disabling the custom site feature and test the issue again.
If it doesn't solve the case, then the issue might be related to Reporting Services. I'd suggest you find error message related to it. Or if RS is not utilized yet, you could uninstall it. Then re-install it if necessary.

Configure a sharepoint 2013 site for external and internal access

I need to configure a local install of sharepoint 2013 so that users can access it internally and externally using windows/AD authentication. The internal and external addresses are different.
I have bound an external ip to the domain for external access.
I have created Alternate Access mapping, and bound the host header but I get a file not found message for external access.
Have I missed something here? why the error and how can it be fixed. Step by step process would be appreciated.

Hi Luis,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when accessing the site externally.
The most common cause for this is that the IIS host header is configured incorrectly. The 404 will appear because we are hitting a different IIS web site and not the one we are intended to.
Here is a similar issue for you to take a look:

Hi Mani,
You're asking this question in the wrong forum, this forum is meant for suggestions and feedback on the forums themselves, not product support.
I recommend reposting your question in the SharePoint forums here (or you can request that a moderator move this thread for you):

Access Denied Error while accessing "Site Settings Access requests and invitations"

Hi,
I am getting Access Denied Error while accessing "Site Settings > Access requests and invitations" in SharePoint 2013 online. Currently I am the owner of the site and have "FULL CONTROL" access. I am able to access using
site collection account. So, what permission I have to give my regular account to access this page?
Thanks, Pal

Hello,
Have you recently changed the Owners group of the site collection or removed the user from the original owners group?
The reason I am asking is when the Access requests and invitations list are created, the permissions are given only to the default owners group at the time that the Access Request list was created. If this "regular account" is not part of that owners
group, the user will receive access denied. Site Collection Admins always have permissions for the Access Request List.
A workaround for the Access Denied issue is listed in the KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2911390/en-us. By giving the correct group or user the permissions to this list, the users will not receive
the Access Denied issue anymore.
Preferably, in order to grant the user the full permissions ( you will see features like resending invitations may still fail after implementing the above workaround) there is one other workaround that may be required depending on what the original issue
was. Below are additional steps to restore full functionality.
1)Access the /_layouts/15/permsetup.aspx of the site collection, make sure the default Owners Group
is set correctly. (There is a group selected)
2) Add user to that Owners Group. (Issue may be resolved at this step if the site collection Owners
Group was never changed, if not continue to next step.)
3) Implement workaround on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2911390/en-us, by adding that owners
group as Full control on Access Request list Permissions.
Let me know how this works out for you.

How to disable the selection of "Title and logo URL of a SharePoint 2013 site" from browser

how to disable the selection of "Title and logo URL of a SharePoint 2013 site" from browser or How can we able to set our custom default log to the sp2013 site using code.So that users are not allowed to change from browser again.
Thanks & Regards, Krishna

Hi Krishna,
For your issue, you need to deploy a farm solution using HideCustomAction to hide site settings link. For example to hide “Title, description, and logo” link you can use below code:
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<HideCustomAction
GroupId="Customization"
HideActionId = "ProjectSettings"
Location = "Microsoft.SharePoint.SiteSettings">
</HideCustomAction>
</Elements>

I tried to connect to my SharePoint 2013 site mailbox through UAG. From internal access, it works fine.
From external access, I was connected to the SharePoint Site. I clicked on the Mailbox link I have a OWA form based authentication. After wrote my credential, I had an error page "404 - File or Directory not found". I clicked on back button an
reauthenticate myself, I received a message "Logon error. Access to the page was made from an unauthorized URL.

Hi Luo,
Thank you for your answer. Below replies to yours :
1. Yes we have activated the form based authentication on UAG. We used based authentication on Outlook Web Access. Connections to Webmail works fine.
2. We used external URL for Webmail, but for Office Web Apps reasons we have added another internal DNS zone with the same domain name than external domain. We have added Hosts Record.
3. On local network, we can have access to Site Mailbox in Outlook, I have never tested this from external network. I have added "send as" rights for the user on the shared mailbox and the full rights on the shared mailbox.
Summary :
Our client have installed SharePoint 2013, Office Web Apps 2013 and Exchange 2013 SP1. He wants to have an external access to Office documents and also to Site Mailboxes on SharePoint. Office Web Apps works fine inside and outside. Site Mailboxes works fine
Inside but not outside. They used a domain name like "internal.cotonso.com" and the external domain name is "contoso.com". They called us to resolved this problem. The only Warning informations we received from the Event Viewer with
sixteen different event id with number 67
The description for Event ID 67 from source Microsoft Forefront UAG cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the

How do you migrating a SharePoint 2010 BI PerformancePoint site to a newly built SharePoint 2013 site?

Hi All,
I need help in migrating a SharePoint 2010 BI PerformancePoint site to a newly built SharePoint 2013 site on another server. The SharePoint 2010 BI Performance Point site has mainly Analytic graphs and charts that work perfectly within the SP 2010 environment
but do not work within the SP 2013 environment. When I open the graphs and charts within Dashboard Designer I get a ‘cannot access the data source’ error message. The problem I am having is there is no way I can edit the graphs and charts to use a newly created
data source on the SP 2013 site.
I hope you can help
Colin

Just been going through all this with a client.
Make sure that you either migrate the Secure Store using the Database Attach method (You'll need the farm passphrase to do this), or ensure that you recreate any Secure Store groups required for users to access the data sources.
If you're not using the Secure Store for access to the data, try monitoring the SQL logs on the target data stores and looking for login failures. The PerformancePoint service account(Or the excel unattended account) may required access to the
data store.
Also, if you're using PowerPivot, be aware that your Excel files will need to be created in Excel 2013 with the PowerPivot 2013 add-in in order for manual refresh (Or refresh on open) to work.

Hi lakshita,
Would you please check whether you can go to the page:
http://siteurl/_layouts/settings.aspx page:
http://siteurl/default.aspx page? If so, go to Site Features in site settings page, reactivate the Wiki Page home page feature, check the result.
If not, please check whether there is related information in ULS log and event viewer log file? Does the page shows page not found or other errors? Check whether the site can be opened in other machine?

Hi,
I’m afraid we could not fix this in the SharePoint perspective, as it is a update for IE.
When allowSilverlightPrompt method is set to false,
users will not be prompted to load Silverlight if it isn’t already installed.
It is not for disable the Silverlight for the users who have installed the Silverlight.

If your company policy could not update the IE, instead of using IE, I recommend you can use the Chrome or Firefox browser.

Will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with SharePoint 2013 sites hosted in SP2010 compatibility mode?

We are planning a upgrade of a SP2010 farm to 2013. There has been a bit of customization so we wish to run the old sites on the new SP2013 platform in SP2010 compatibility mode.
So my question is will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with the old sites hosted in compatibility mode?
I found a similar query from March 2014 found here
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/93101/office-web-apps-2010-running-on-sharepoint-2013-for-compatibility-mode-sites/116281#116281
Has there been an update released to resolve this
Cheers D

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you need to know whether Office Web Apps 2013 is working with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode.
For my test, Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode is working fine.

SharePoint 2013 site in 2010 mode - Web Analytics functionality?

We recently upgraded to SharePoint 2013 from SharePoint 2010. Our main portal site is running in 2010 mode. Are "Site Web Analytics reports" supported for 2013 sites running in 2010 mode? After our upgrade, it appears that no
new data is showing in these Web Analytics reports, although we can see historic data from before the upgrade.
I know about the changes in these analytics reports in 2013. Note that I can see the new popularity trends and usage reports in 2013 sites located in the same site collection, but they are NOT running in 2010 mode. My question is only about
2013 sites in 2010 mode and the ability to run web analytics reports of any kind to assess page popularity, document popularity, etc.
Any information would be helpful. Thank you!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know if the Site Web Analytics reports is supported in SharePoint 2013 sites running in SharePoint 2010 mode.
The Site Web Analytics reports is supported by Web Analytics Service Application in SharePoint 2010, but Web Analytics is no longer service application in SharePoint 2013 and analyses and reporting process incorporated to search service application. So if
we view the Site Web Analytics reports in SharePoint 2013 sites running in SharePoint 2010 mode, we will not be able to get the results.
http://www.toddklindt.com/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=250
I recommend to update the sites running in 2010 mode to SharePoint 2013, then you can get the web analytics reports from Popularity Trends and Most Popular Items.

Adding a Left Navigation in the place of Current navigation in SharePoint 2013 Site.

Hi All,
I have successfully converted an HTML Page to a SharePoint 2013 Master Page. I also created a Custom Page Layout. Using both them I have created my SharePoint Site with 30+ pages. Each page is consisted with the Top Header Navigation as it is inheriting
from the Master Page I have used. Now I need the left navigation inherit from the master page also. It gives me the advantage of updating it from the master page and affects it through the entire SharePoint Site.
But at the moment I am inserting the Left Nav using a web part as an HTMl code snippet individually for each and every page. If needs a modification I have to go through all the pages and do the modification. This is not convenient also. I want to this left
nav like the SharePoint Current Navigation alternative but within my Page Layout.
Is there an option to chat within these forums?
Could someone help me to solve this problem?
Thanks and regards,
Chiranthaka

Hi Chiranthaka,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since
this forum is to discuss: Visual
Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
Based on your issue,
it is more related to the sharepoint, so I’m afraid that
it is not the correct forum for this issue.
In addition, I find that you have been posted this issue in this SharePoint forum:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7e3af32b-2bf8-41f5-9420-9265ed64458c/adding-a-left-navigation-in-the-place-of-current-navigation-in-sharepoint-2013-site?forum=sharepointgeneral ,
so we will merge this case to the above case, I think that the SharePoint expert will follow up your issue.

Is this issue only occur in one client machine? Can other machines installed SharePoint Workspace 2010 works when perform syncing?
As you have reinstalled the 2687364 hotfix and the issue still exists, I suggest you install Office 2010 SP2 to see if it can work:
