How to provide an easy way for end users to join a specific sharepoint group

Hi,
I have created a sharepoint group with auto accept requests to join the group.
However to join the group users have to go to the specific membership of the group and click "actions->join group" on the url: <a href="http:///_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=592"> Surely there is a more user friendly
way to join a group in SP2013 right? Can I create a link users can simply click on that joins them to the specific group?
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure this was ever designed to be user friendly as typically only Admins or those with elevated permissions would see these groups.  There isn't as far as I can see, any way to add this step within a Wokflow too, unless you're able to install
some third party steps.

  • Is there in easy way for end-users to regularly update the music-on-hold audio file (.wav) - without having to learn or install CCA?

    I want to give client the ability to change the MOH file themselves - they want to create a new announcement audio each week.   They're not going to be comfortable using CCA.   I was hoping to let them use FTP (from a PC Desktop) to replace the MOH file in Flash with updated .au file.   Is this possible?
    If not, what's the Easiest end-user method to have them place the new MOH file into the UC560?
    Thanks in advance!
    Sam

    Hello Sam,
    There is an audio port on the front of the UC560. What my clients have done is develop their MOH announcements with associated background music and upload it to an iPod or MP3 player. We plug the audio cable from the iPod into the MoH port and configure the MoH port via CCA 3.2(3). Select the Configuration - Telephony - Voice Features-Music on Hold and select to enable the external MoH port.
    As your client wants to add or change the announcements, they just need to play the track and loop it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a way for end users to give their manager access to change their Out of Office, without an admin involved?

    Our end users need to be able to give their managers access to enable their out of office. 
    question 1.  Can this be done without giving them full access?
    question 2.  If they need full access, can the end user themselves give this access? (I've tried giving another user "owner" rights, but the user still can't seem to open my calendar from OWA to adjust my out of office)
    question 3.  Can this be done without an Sys Admin being involved?

    You can create a RBAC role for each manager scoped to each of their employees that lets them run the Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration cmdlet on the exchange server. Otherwise they will need full access to the users mailbox which an admin would have
    to grant, the end user can not grant this permission. Then they can open the other users mailbox in OWA and set the OOF

  • A way for end users to email completed forms?

    I would like my end users to be able to complete the form and then send the whole, completed pdf form (not just the data) to another person. I believe my users will probably be using the latest version of Adobe Reader. Now, I realize that saving information typed into a pdf form is technically not supposed to happen, and I imagine one would have to save the completed form in order to email it, but I believe a few months back that I followed a thread on this forum that discussed just how to circumvent this issue and allow an end user to email a completed form in pdf format. Naturally, I cannot find the thread now that I need it.
    Anyone out there know if and how I can make this whole emailing business happen?
    Thanks!

    First don't use the default e-mail submit button from object library, that will send just the xml data. Instead you can use the default button and set its control type to Submit. After this put in the Submit to URL field some thing like this: mailto:[email protected]
    When you finish the form you need also extend the form by doing what our coleague said above.
    Now when you click the submit button it will send the entire form through e-mail.
    I hope this helps.

  • Seek easy and safe way for average users to manage the contents of Portal.

    Dear all,
    My boss today requested me to provide a easy, safe way for average users in my company to manage the contents of Portal themselves.
    My boss request users can upload files, documents, images and text into Portal.
    I know that Oracle Portal provides security control for editing Portal. But it also provides a quite complex operations for manage the contents of Portal.
    I am afraid average users cannot manage it easily.
    Can anyone have experience on the issues and can you give me suggestion?
    Thanks a lot
    George (HK)

    Hi Vijay.B,
    We can give privileges to manage the contents of the portal page.
    Create a group and add the users into that group and for the page level privilege >>add this group as manage.
    The members of the group can manage the page.I know the above is the standard strategy for users to manage the portal contents.
    But, as an average user, I think it is still to complicated to manage.
    For my case, I need to provide a means for average users to add news to the portal, so my priliminary idea is that I will create a portlet for news entries such as news heading, hyperlinks, text and save the entries in DB. Then, on the homepage of Portal, I will create another portlet for displaying the news headlines with hyperlink pointing to the actual URL.
    thanks
    George

  • How to provide different plor series for plot chart

    How to provide different plot series for a Plot Chart.
    The IDs of the series are given in a ComboBox control

    Series are stored in an array. If there is only one series, then you can change it simply by "pushing" a series into a new array, and then assigning that series array to the chart. If you are replacing one series in the chart series array, then you have to figure out which to remove and put the new one in.

  • Isn't there an easier way for iPhoto to show (Photoshop) edited RAW photos?

    Hi fellow Apple community members, below is a (very) detailed description of my problem>
    Once I'm done shooting with my Canon DSLR i auto-import my pics into iPhoto '11.
    My pics are shot in RAW format.
    I have Photoshop CS6 set as my default image editor via iPhoto.
    Once my image is edited via Photoshop i then save the image with two different methods:
    i use the "save image..." button in the Camera RAW editing window and proceed to save the image in the same location and the same as the original name in the iPhoto directory.
    The second method is to open the image as a non "Smart Object" file then proceed to save the image as a JPEG via "Save As", also in the same the location and file name as the original
    The problem is once i've done the saving of the file. iPhoto doesn't show edits done to the original photo or even show a edited copy.
    I CAN locate the edited images via the route directory within iPhoto's Finder menus.
    So i assumed if i imported those edited copies it would then show in iPhoto but no cigar - A error message pops up: "The following file could not be imported . The file is in the iPhoto Library."
    I then re-locate the edit files to another location, then import it into iPhoto and only then does it shows up in iPhoto - successfully edited.
    So my question would be...isn't there a better or easier way for iPhoto to show your edited photos without having to jump through so many hoops?

    There is no solution to this - and the same problem arises with Aperture too. The question to ask yourself is which Raw processor you want to use and then your Photos go there first.
    As Larry says, iPhoto is pretty much pointed at the shooter with a point and shoot or phone who takes snaps to share with family and friends. Pros or serious hobbyits, people shooting large volumes, people shooting Raw migrate to the more powerful apps sooner or later.
    Going forward, I would suggest that you explore apps like Lightroom and Aperture which make the Raw processing - and many other - element of Photoshop redundant. While iPhoto uses the same processing engine as Aperture it has less fine control. Photoshop for the photographer is on the way out. It's too expensive, most of its features are aimed at graphic artists rather than shooters. The future for Photographers is apps like Aperture, Lightroom with something like Elements for the odd touchups that these apps can't manage.

  • How do you limit TOC navigation for multiple users on one computer?

    If you have 5 Adobe Captivate 5.5. Projects linked together to play consecutively how can you set up a TOC so that each new user starts from the beginning  and can only go back to slides that the new user has viewed?  We have  the TOC set to Enable Navigation, Navigate Visited Slides Only, and View Status Flag. This is a required training video that will be taken by many users.  We need them to be able to go back to the sections that they already viewed but not be able to see the sections that others have already watched.  In other words, we don't want them to be able to advance ahead to the sections that the previous test takers have viewed.
    Message was edited by: DOLOnlineTrainers
    Problems:
    •     Remove the TOC and they have no navigation abilities to see something they may have missed
    •     Keep it in and the viewer can advance to parts they have not viewed as the previous user set the ability
    •     Put a back button in and they can only go back one at a time and have no ability to get back to where they were if they keep hitting back other than watch over
    •     Tried the clear button in TOC under status flag which clears the status flags yet it only works on one section at a time and does not clear all linked projects
    •     Is there something we are missing? Tried reading blogs and really can’t pinpoint problem

    To get each user to have a different experience when viewing the content, you need to have some way for each user to be uniquely identified, otherwise the browser has no way of knowing that THIS is not the same person that was looking at the content an hour ago.  The way this is normally achieved is by getting users to log in as a different profile. 
    There's no EASY way I can think of to achieve what you want WITHOUT users having different profiles.  You would need to get some custom HTML programming done by someone that basically mimicked separate browser sessions under the same login.  It's theoretically possible, but I've never been required to do anything like this.

  • Page customization for end user

    is it possible to use other mechanism for end users to customize their own pages instead using the portal features since it's a little complicated cause each user needs to create new pages, add portlet, etc.
    Can we use the mechanism like my cnn, my yahoo,excite and how to do that in a simple way?
    thanks for helping

    Hi,
    I have the same question, but I would like to have a seperate page or application, showing only predetermined portlets, for users to choose from and place on their page. I do not want the end user to ever see the customization process Oracle uses. Can this be done???
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Karthika Siva ([email protected]):
    A simple way to do this:
    1. Create a page that will become the default page for end users. This page will have your branded look & feel (style) and contain a default set of portlets. These are portlets that you think your typical user will find useful.
    2. Create portal user.
    3. Grant one of the following privileges on the page to the user. Grant 'Full Customization' or 'Add Only Customization' depending on how much control you want to give the end user. Keep in mind that both of these privileges allow the end user to only customize their PRIVATE VERSION of the page. Others will see the default, or their own version if they have also personalized it. See the online help on the Access tab of the Customize Page screen for a description of the privileges.
    4. Once that is done, set this page as the default home page for the user. You can do this using the Preferences tab on the edit user screen.
    Now the portal user can log into the portal, and personalize his/her page by customizing portlets on the page, hiding/showing default portlets, and even adding other portlets to the page.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

  • Utilizing the Workspace for end users

    Trying to see how can I utilize the existing workspace for "end users" who are supposed to access the application, I have two questions:
    1- How to remove the extra regions, logos and etc.
    2- How to add link to the application
    Thanks,

    I'm not clear on your question, but I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and think you would like to customise the workspace login

  • How to activate all inactive objects for current user

    Hi
    How to activate all inactive objects for current user ...
    ... I have found a (long winded) way to do this:
    - Environment / Inactive Objects
    - Add to Worklist
    - Display Worklist
    - Select All
    - Activate
    this will open a dialog titled "Inactive Objects for <username>"
    which has the exact functionality I need ... but I can't figure out how to get to this dialog directly - without so many intermediate steps
    the SAP docs repeatedly mention the ability to activate the inactive worklist - but do not mention how
    does anybody know the TCode for this dialog?
    thanks
    ps does the term "mass activation" apply to importing change requests rather than development activation?
    Edited by: FireBean500 on Jun 4, 2010 11:07 PM

    No other way. But usually it's far more simple as all objects are already in our own worklist.
    I wonder why your objects are not already in your worklist, as everytime you create or maintain an object, it is added to your worklist.

  • How can I change the password for the USER in SAP.

    How can I change the password for the USER in SAP?
    also I want to change the Language and  date Format b/c it's displaying in German language..

    Hi,
    Assuming that User has already his/her user-id and password, and now he/ she wants to change it.
    select the client and provide Log-in credentials. Now, instead of 'ENTER' there is one Tab: 'New Password' (up, left hand). Click it.
    Now, system will ask for new password to change.
    If you are asking from Basis point of view, then T.code: SU01 - User Maintenance.
    Enter User's id and Click Change icon.
    It will lead to Page: Maintain User.
    Here, Select tab: Logon Data
    There is a Sub-Tab: Password.
    Here, key-in change password and SAVE.
    For Language and Date format, contact your Basis-Personnel.
    Best regards,

  • Reset passwork for end user using XE version 2.1.0.00.39

    Hi All,
    I would like to create a link "Change Password" for end users to able to change their password anytime. I've followed the link below
    Self Reset Password
    but it still require the admin login before end users can change their password.
    The following steps that I did:
    1. Under "Shared Components", create a Navigation Bar entry name "Change Password".
    2. On page 1, click on the "Change Password" link under Navigation Bar and entered
    Target Type = URL
    URL Target = javascript:popupURL('f?p=4350:53:&SESSION.:::53.F4350_P53_USER_NAME::APP_USER');
    How do i make the "Change password" link go directly to reset password page after end users clicked on it without admin login require? I'm using a default authentication and all end users assigned to user group.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kevin

    Kevin,
    You want the users to go to popup page 58 (in application 4350). See this thread: Re: Pop Up Change Password Window . But I don't know if that will work in 2.1.
    In general, you're better off using other types of account management tools such as LDAP.
