Migrate security group in SharePoint

Hi,
There are some security groups which are renamed. So now we want to do the migrate group to replace the permission of the old groups with the new groups. Is it possible ? can we run the stsadm command for migrating any security group also as
we do the same for the users.

Hi,
I recommend to use the PowerShell command below to update the group name:
$sites = get-spsite -limit all
foreach ($site in $sites)
#change the identity value to the identity of your group in SharePoint site
$user = get-spuser -identity "c:0+.w|s-1-5-21-327186598-2419249556-1286632975-1156" -web $site.url -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
If($user)
set-spuser -identity $user -displayname "contoso\ADGPkk"
Write-host –foregroundcolor green “Changed the name for $($site.url)”
Else
Write-host –foregroundcolor red “The specified group does not exist in $($site.url)”

Sync Project Online Security Group to SharePoint Security Groups

Hi,
Is there any way to sync prject server security group(Custom) into SharePoint Security Groups.
My scenario is: I created a document library, I want to apply project server security on it, based on project server security groups, for that currently I created a custom group in sharepoint and manualy added the users into that group. That doesn't looks
good, because if my project online group will change, than manually I have to change sharepoint group too. So what I want is, that sharepoint group is automatically synced with project online group.
Or is there any other way to assign project online security in document library?
Thanks

No there is no workaround other then creating a group on Office 365 server.
SharePoint Online lets you create security groups via the Admin Overview page

Active Directory Synchronization: Allows you to sync your Active Directory Objects such as users and groups to your Office 365 account. This is a one-way synchronization, which means you continue to manage users On-Premises, and your changes
will appear on Office 365 SharePoint. However, authentication and passwords are still managed by Office 365. It will be required for Password Sync and Single Sign On (see below).

Call your local Microsoft office (any office may due, but info from your local office will be more accurate), and ask for the

Work email field not filling in for mail enabled security groups in sharepoint

I've recently been trying to setup alerts to send to mail enabled security groups on our sharepoint site.
I've created universal mail enabled security groups for this purpose, and populated them with users, and then set those in the alert field, but no one is getting alerts.
After a lot of investigation, I've found that this is likely because the security groups listed under sharepoint in the people and groups section don't have work email fields filled in. Theres a couple of groups that work which do have this field filled
in, but everything created recently is missing this. I can't seem to set this field up to be editable instead of importing from AD either. I've confirmed the AD import is working fine, all user details and work email fields are filled out correctly, it is
only the security groups that are having problems.
Does anyone have any experience with this?

As per your description I assume that individual user gets email alert, right ?
If no then go to central administration > operation > timer job definitions > “web application” view > select your web application in the menu bar to check if Immediate alerts working fine
If not, please run the following operations:
stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname alerts-enabled -propertyvalue false -url http://...
stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname alerts-enabled -propertyvalue true -url http://...
stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname job-immediate-alerts -propertyvalue "every 5 minutes" -url http://...
And then try again.
At last, if the issue is still there, please check your email server settings in terms of the following articles:
http://www.sharepoint-tips.com/2007/10/email-alerts-not-getting-sent-while.html
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointworkflow/thread/36c3b5b5-af03-4f8a-b202-b62db330c21c/
And if individual user gets an alert then you can create cutomized alert for Sec group

Use AD Security Groups for SharePoint database permissions

In our SharePoint environment we have around 30 content databases. Each of these content databases need a few application pool accounts added to there permissions for various service applications etc. Currently all the accounts are added individually,
but this can be a little error prone. Is there a reason why we could just pop all the required accounts in an AD security group and add that database permissions in SQL?

You could do that, but your service accounts shouldn't be accessing the databases directly, instead routing through the SharePoint API, which then permissions would be taken care of by SharePoint accounts (or if you have custom Service Applications, the
service app pool account).

AD Security Group name change not showing in Sharepoint 2010

Hi!
We have a Sharepoint 2010 Standard enviroment and are heading for a role-based identity-managment in our company. That's why we find it better to use AD Groups instead of Sharepoint Groups.
So we have over 1000 AD Security Groups groups that have been added to our Sharepoint Sites and our goal is to control every permission in Sharepoint from AD.
I have done all this with the combination of Excel and Powershell and it have worked great.
The problem i see in the long run is the name change of AD Security Groups. Sharepoint 2010 isn't showing the new name of the group.
Does anyone know of any workaround that can solve this problem. It's a bit of a disappointment that Microsoft haven't fixed this. The only information i think they should store in Sharepoint is the SID of the groups.
I was thinking of designing a powershell script that runs every night and updates the display name of the groups that do not match the AD display name.
Is there any other way?

As far as I know, and I'm not sure where to go from here without testing on my own...and I'm not sure when I'll be able to do that. Perhaps a configuration issue.
Have you tried removing the incorrectly named group and adding in the correctly named one?

Effictive Permissions not showing up for security groups after interforest migrations using ADMT

Hi there,
I"m trying to fix an issue with the effective permission, below is the description
Two separate forests exist with respective domains DomainA and DomainB.
A two-way trust has been established between these two domains.
I migrate a user (using ADMT) from DomainA to DomainB.
After migration the user account in DomainB has access to the same shares and folders on file servers in DomainA as it did with the user's account in DomainA.
when i checked the effective permission of the migrated security group it does not show up any tick mark on the permissions. but still end users are able to access the resource on file server
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have to offer.

Hi,
After the user migration, did you finish the Security Translation?

Office365 Exchange Security Group not updating in Sharepoint Online

We have created a new Office365 Exchange Security Group that contains several other Exchange Security Groups. This group will not show up in either the SharePoint Web admin or SharePoint Designer views.
How can I force SharePoint to re-synchronize the Office365 Tenant users/groups?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that Office365 Exchange Security Group does not updating in Sharepoint Online.
How long did you wait after creating the Group to see if they show up in SharePoint Online? The back-end replication can take some time, even days from my experience.

Security group guidance

Hello,
I'm having all sorts of troubles getting security groups working within SharePoint. I'm aware of the various timeouts and caching that occur and have changed my WindowsTokenLifeTime to 30 minutes to pick up security group changes faster. However, I have
some areas in SharePoint where even after days, users in security groups with access to a site, library, or document still do not have access and they don't show up in Check Permissions. Also, I have some instances where a user, as a member of a security group
with access to a file, has access one day and then the next day does not. This happens for multiple users in multiple locations and I have no idea what's going on.
Is there any guidance other than this about using AD security groups in SharePoint?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261972(v=office.15).aspx
This is really messing with my head.
Our farm is SharePoint 2013 SP1. Some of my security groups have nested security groups, some don't, and both have these issues.
Thanks,
Aaron

I'm going to have to re-open this in a Reporting forum because this is so confusing.
So our setup is SSRS2012 on SharePoint 2013. We are doing item level permissions, which means we have an AD security group
Reports-All with Read to the Reports folder, then each actual report has unique permissions. We have a report with the
ProjectManagers AD security group on it with Read (plus some other stuff to let them manage subscriptions), and another AD security group
ProjectUsers with just Read access so they can open the reports. The data source used by this report has the AD security group I mentioned before,
Reports-All, with Read.
At a SharePoint level, things appear to work. When a user in ProjectManagers
or ProjectUsers browses to the library, they see only the 3 reports that those two security groups have permission to see (out of a lot more in the library). That means SharePoint is reading those security group memberships correctly
as far as I can tell.
The issue is when a user in ProjectManagers or ProjectUsers
clicks on a report, they get a reporting server based error message, and the ULS logs have an error specific to the user trying to run the report.
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions granted to user 'MyDomain\MyUser' are insufficient for performing this operation. (Fault Detail is equal to Microsoft.ReportingServices.ServiceContract.RsExceptionInfo)
If I add that specific user with Read permissions to the report and the data source, they are then able to run the report without errors. It seems like some Report Server component is not liking the fact that I'm using security groups.
Even though I'm going to put this elsewhere I figured I'd expand on my situation here in case it's an obvious solution to someone.

How to set security group as primary site collection admin and secondary site collection admin using powershell in sharepoint online site - office 365?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set security group as admin of primary and secondary site collection using PowerShell command in office 365.
I suggest you can use the command below to set the group to site owner, then it will have the site collection admin permission.
Set-SPOSite -Identity https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/site1 -Owner [email protected] -NoWait

File Server Migration - For ORG A Forest to ORG B Forest ( Need to create and Map Security Group automatically on new Migrated Folders - Please Help

I have two forest With Trust works Fine .
I have file server in ORG – A ( Forest ) with 2003 R2 Standard
I have a File server in ORG - B ( Forest ) With Windows server 2012 ( New Server for Migration )
I have 1000 + folders with each different permission sets on ORG-A. We are using Security groups for providing permission on the share Folders on ORG A
I need to Migrate all the folders from ORG – A to ORG – B.
I am looking for an automated method of creating Security Groups on AD during the Migration, Once the Migration is Done, I can add the required users to the security groups manually.
Example.
Folder 1 on ORG – A has Security Group Called SEC-FOLDER1-ORGA
I need an automated method of Copying the files to ORG – B and Creating a new security Groups on ORG –B Forest with the same permission on parent and child Folders. I shall Add the users manually to the Group.
Output Looks Like
Folder 1 on ORG – B has Permission called SEC-FOLDER1-ORGB ( New Security Group )
Also I need a summarized report of security Group Mapping, Example – Which security Group on ORGA is mapped with Security Group Of ORGB

Hi,
I think you can try ADMT to migrate your user group to target domain/forest first. Once user groups are migrated, you can use Robocopy to copy files with permission - that permission will continue be recognized in new domain as you migrated already.

AD security group issues in SharePoint 2013 Integrated Mode

Hello,
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I'm not sure if this is a SharePoint issue or a Reporting Services configuration issue (or if it should be in a SharePoint forum regardless).
I have SSRS2012 on SharePoint 2013 in integrated mode. We are doing item level permissions, which means we have an AD security group Reports-All with
Read to the Reports document library, then each actual report has unique permissions. We have a report with the ProjectManagers AD
security group on it with Read (plus some other stuff to let them manage subscriptions), and another AD security group ProjectUsers with
just Read access so they can open the reports. The data source used by this report has the AD security group I mentioned before, Reports-All,
with Read.
At a SharePoint level, things appear to work. When a user in ProjectManagers or ProjectUsers browses
to the library, they see only the 3 reports that those two security groups have permission to see (out of a lot more in the library). That means SharePoint is reading those security group memberships correctly as far as I can tell.
The issue is when a user in ProjectManagers or ProjectUsers clicks
on a report, they get a reporting server based error message, and the ULS logs have an error specific to the user trying to run the report.
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions granted to user 'MyDomain\MyUser' are insufficient for performing this operation. (Fault Detail is equal to Microsoft.ReportingServices.ServiceContract.RsExceptionInfo)
If I add that specific user with Read permissions to the report and the data source, they are then able to run the report without errors. It seems like some Report Server component is not liking the fact that I'm using security groups.
Has anyone seen this behavior with AD security groups? Any ideas on why my environment does not want to work properly with those even though AD security groups are working fine for other non-Reporting Services files?
Thanks,
Aaron

Hi aaronzott,
According to your description, you configured SSRS 2012 of SharePoint integrated mode. You added read permission to reports and data source to AD security group Reports-All, then added just read permission to ProjectManagers and ProjectUsers groups. When
users in ProjectManagers or ProjectUsers groups click report, the error message occurred. After you added Read permissions to the report and the data source to the groups, they can preview the report without errors.
Report definition permissions are defined through List permissions on the library that contains the report, but we can set permissions on individual reports if we want to restrict access. Set properties on a report including data source connection information,
processing options, and parameter properties. Edit Items on the library that contains the report or on the individual report. We also need to have view permissions on a shared data source (.rsds) to select it for use with the report.
For more information about Set Permissions for Report Server Operations in a SharePoint Web Application, please refer to the following document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb326286(v=sql.110).aspx

SharePoint group containing AD security group - Check Permissions does not show correct information

I'm seeing a problem with SharePoint 2013 groups that contain Active Directory security groups. When using the Check Permissions feature to see what permissions a specific user has, it does not reflect the correct permissions for a user inside of the AD
security group. This occurs when checking permissions on a site, library, list or folder. When a user is added as a direct member of the SharePoint group it lists their proper permissions. I should note that the users ability to access the site or list works
properly and coincides with the SP/AD group the user belongs to. It's only the Check Permissions that doesn't work. This does not happen with SharePoint 2010 and the Check Permissions tool is very useful. Any ideas?

It's not wrong, it is expected behavior and working as designed. Until a user logs into the SharePoint site that is granted access via AD group, the user is not going to show under 'check permissions' as having access. SharePoint must have a record of the
user in the UIL in order to validate their access.
You're free to file an RFC with Microsoft, but the monetary impact to you must be extremely high in order for this behavior to be changed.

Filter SharePoint 2010 Ent. content types based AD Security Group

We are trying to use SharePoint as a records management system. I have several site collections (Team Site at the root of each site) and my plan is to setup one site collection as a content type hub. The content type hub would then distribute all of the
content types to my other site collections. Since I may have 70 different content types I want to filter what each user can see based on AD Security Groups (the SG matches the department the employee is in). This way they can only choose the content type that
applies to their department and it won't be so confusing. I'll then apply retention policies based on content type. I know that I can apply retention policies based on the document library but I want the users to be able to organize their records however they
want to.
Am I taking the wrong approach? Is this possible?

Hi,
As far as I know, we can define the Permission Set on a content type. In this way, you can control which users or group can change or access which content types.
For more information about SharePoint security and content type, see
