MySite Host Site Collection "Site Settings" Menu and sub-site creation

Seemingly by design, users are able to create sub-sites on the MySite Host site collection when the configuration instructions here are followed: Configure My Sites in
SharePoint Server 2013
To be a little clearer, as instructed, I've created and applied a subsite-creation user policy to the web application hosting the MySite host. Presumably, this enables sub-site creation in personal MySite site collections. Perfect.
Except... this also enables creation of subsites on the MySite host itself.
If a (non-administrative) user clicks the cog from the Newsfeed page, the scope is the MySite host.
The "site settings" link leads to the site settings of the MySite host.
There, in the  "Sites Administration" section is "Sites and Workspaces".
...and there, is the option to create a new sub-site at https://my.contoso.net/. -_-
How might I avoid this undesirable state of affairs? I would like to give users the ability to create sub-sites in their own MySites, but not on the MySite host via the Newsfeed page. Is this possible?
I think I can. I think I can.

This is definitely possible - So you enabled self-service site creation in Central Admin per the configuration instructions. Did you also create a user policy on the web application?
In my tenant non-admins do not have access to click site settings on the mysite host (They can click site contents, which redirects to the personal site collection). Also, they do have access to click site settings on the personal mysite site collection
though.

I did some testing and figured it out, I think. Mind you everything worked properly, users just had access I didn't want them to.
I did enable self-service site creation, and I created the user policy on the web application as per the instructions. I then discovered users had access to site settings on the Newsfeed page: https://my.contoso.com/default.aspx
The only site setting they had access to was subsite creation: https://my.contoso.com/_layouts/15/newsbweb.aspx , but I didn't want them to be able to create subsites on the host, just in their personal collections.
Deleting that user policy removed their access to subsite creation on the host, and still allowed self-service site creation, and the creation of subsites in personal collections, so the question now is:
Why are we being directed to create that user policy in the first place, when it doesn't appear to affect personal sites at all?
I think I can. I think I can.

  • Spry Vertical Menu and sub menus not working correctly

    I am designing a website for a client and cannot get the spry vertical menu and submenus to work correctly.  The submenus will show on the index.html page, but not on any other pages, or when I preview in browser. Should I make it a library item then add it to the other pages? I am not sure what I am doing wrong.  I appreciate your help!

  • Trouble with Menu and sub menu widget

    I am a newbie, hence my current question.  I have developed a site for the company that I work for, the basic navigation menu widget has been added, however, the owner wanted a sub-menu for only one of the categories/menu tab, but I am having trouble getting/adding a drop down for one of the menus, it is doing an all or nothing when I try to add the submenu, regardless of only editing the one.  What am I missing?

    Thanks, that is exactly what I was missing.  And that did the trick.  I know it was probably a dumb question, but I'm still learning my way around the Muse.

  • Automating Group, Sub Group, Folder and Sub Folder Creation

    I am relatively new as an administrator, and this may be a simple question.
    I need to publish similar groups and folders for 30 instances. I am able to complete this through the CMS functionality, but I was wondering if there was some form of command line input or SQL statement I could use to add them instead. Automation of this process would provide a great time savings, so I am wondering if such a command line/batch file/SQL statement exist. My instance of Business Objects is run with A CMS attached to an Oracle database (if the SQL statement proves to be the answer).
    Thanks in advance for any assistance that can be provided.

    There is no simple command line utility to do this. This is possible via the Enterprise SDK though ([here|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2/en/devsuite.htm])

  • DMA 2100, can't get to settings menu

    Having trouble getting a DMA 2100 setup.
    After it boots, I get to the welcome screen and I can usually get one or two remote presses before it freezes up.
    So typically I can press the down arrow to get to the settings menu, and then I press OK to enter the setting menu and it freezes (no response from any keypresses on remote).  Sometime I can get to the settings menu but can't do anything once I'm there.
    I have tried the factory reset several times to no avail.
    This happens both when I am plugged into the network and also when I am not.
    Any ideas on what can be causing this or what else I can try?

    I'm also having this problem. I navigate in the settings of the DMA2100 and it just locks up!  No idea why.  Remote stops working but the remote works for the mapped TV volume settings. I can tell the DMA2100 locks up because the cursor stops flashing in the network settings config.
    Any help appreciated!  No idea why this has started.

  • TS1398 my ipad 2 says NO WiFi in the settings menu

    my Ipad 2 says no wifi in the settings menu and the wifi will not work

    Are you located where a wifi signal should be present? Do you have a wifi router?

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • In Dreamweaver MySites[New Site] menu option , if I had a hosting JSP/PHP what I must declare the hosting JSP or PHP ?

    In Dreamweaver MySites[New Site] menu option , if I had a hosting JSP/PHP what I must declare the hosting JSP or PHP ?

    The simplest answer is to choose the language you work best with, and that fits the clients specification the best.
    I have mixed server languages on a site before, (would not recommend) when a client has decided they wish to change from their old one to a new(er) /different one, the only thing you must watch if doing this, is that you do not mix languages on the same page (will not work correctly, if at all), and parameter passing.

  • I have an iMac, 2015 model. operating on OS X 10.10.2 and whenever I click on just about everything in safari it opens a new tab with an ad on it. sometimes the ads are mackeeper or video hosting sites but they are just so annoying.

    I have an iMac, 2015 model. operating on OS X 10.10.2 and whenever I click on just about everything in safari it opens a new tab with an ad on it. sometimes the ads are mackeeper or video hosting sites but they are just so annoying.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
    If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
    The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    and
               com.something.helper.plist
    Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
    If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    In this folder, there may be a file named
              com.something.agent.plist
    where the string something is the same as before.
    If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
    Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
    Open this folder:
    /Library/Application Support
    If it has a subfolder named just
               something
    where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
    Finally, in this folder:
    /System/Library/Frameworks
    there may an item named exactly
                v.framework
    It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
    If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
    If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
    The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • 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
