Assign Group permission to list item using client object model

Hi,
I am trying to add the list item and assign the permission to the list item by using SP 2010 client object model. The problem which i am facing that when i assign the group as a permission to the item, by automatically the limited access permission
is added to the group. Please find the steps which i have followed,
Step-1: Break role inheritance.
foreach (var item in _listItemCollection)
if (item["FileLeafRef"].ToString().ToLower() == "xxx")
item.BreakRoleInheritance(true, false);
_clientContext.Load(item.RoleAssignments);
_folderItem = item;
_clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Step 2: Remove all permissions of the list item.
foreach (var assignment in _folderItem.RoleAssignments)
assignment.RoleDefinitionBindings.RemoveAll();
assignment.Update();
_clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Step 3:
Add Group as a permission to the list item.
var role = _web.RoleDefinitions.GetByType(RoleType.Contributor);
var collRdb = new RoleDefinitionBindingCollection(_clientContext) { role };
Principal principal = _grp;
_folderItem.RoleAssignments.Add(principal, collRdb);
_folderItem.Update();
_clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
After adding the group successfully to the list item, i checked the group permission and it contains the value as "Contribute,Limited Access" to the site level and "Contribute" to the list item. Please guide me how to avoid to create Contribute,Limited
Access role.
Balaji

Hi Dmitry,
When I create the group and assign contribute permission, the group has the permission at the site level(to see the permission, click group and click view Group Permission). I have added the list item and break the role inheritance permission
and given the unique permission by providing group as a permission to the list item. After providing the permission, the group permission at the site level changed to "Contribute, Limited Access". I dont know how contribute permission changed to contribute,
limited access.
I found the workaround to fix this issue. I created the group and create the folder in the shared document library by using client object model. Due to facing some issue by providing the permission using client object model, i have created the event receiver
to the document library and using server object model, i can able to assign the approprate group permission.

Add multiple people using Javascript Client Object Model

I am trying to add multiple people to a SP column of type Person/Group i.e. people picker. I am able
to add one successfully using their userId, but HAVE no clue how to do that for multiple people. Here is the code for one user:
function UserDrop(e, toElement, listGuid, columnName) {
//EcmaScript Client Object Model
var ctx = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var list = ctx.get_web().get_lists().getById(listGuid);
var item = list.getItemById(elementId);
//columnName is of type person/group and I am adding user //whose userId is 7
item.set_item(columnName, 7);
item.update();
// asynchronous call
ctx.executeQueryAsync(
function () { toElement.innerHTML = userLinkHtml; },
function () {alert ("Error")}
return false;
This works great and I can add user whose userId is 7, however I want to add multiple people like let's say users of user Ids 7 and 8.
Any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated.
There is a thread on this one but that's from .net COM which could accessed here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010general/thread/5183e87c-ee1d-4594-9492-0dfdf6616cce

Hi ,
Can somebody let me know how the same(assigning the array values to lookup value field) can be achieved with multi-select lookup value. SP.FieldLookUpValue do not have any such methods like fromUser. Please help. Please find my code block below
clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
if (this.clientContext != undefined && clientContext != null) {
var webSite = clientContext.get_web();
oList = webSite.get_lists().getByTitle("Add New User");
$.urlParam = function(name){
var results = new RegExp('[\\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)').exec(window.location.href);
return results[1] || 0;
var itemid = parseInt($.urlParam('ID'));
var item = oList.getItemById(itemid);
var users = new Array();
users.push(SP.FieldLookupValue.set_lookupId(1));
users.push(SP.FieldLookupValue.set_lookupId(2));
item.set_item('Responsibility', users);
item.update();
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.success), Function.createDelegate(this, this.failed));
also i cant use managed client object model.. so pls let me know how to achieve the same using javascript client object model

Accessing active directory with javascript client object model

Hello All,
my requirement is to get user profile "picture" from
active directory of my org. to my sharepoint 2013 intranet site via
java script client object model programming.
I am successful in retrieving user details (including pics) from user profile services using SP.UserProfile.js but it will show only user who are added in SharePoint groups. But, I need all company users (10,000+ user's) data like name, dept, photo etc.
If the solution is not feasible with JSOM, please provide any alternative.
Pls. assist.
Thanks, Chintan

You can import profile from AD directly to sharepoint and use it
Check below:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/harmeetw/archive/2011/09/10/importing-thumbnail-photos-from-ad-active-directory-into-sharepoint-2010.aspx
Once imported you need to run below:
Update-SPProfilePhotoStore -CreateThumbnailsForImportedPhotos 1 -MySiteHostLocation
http://<YourServerName>/my

Powershell and Client Object Model - no error thrown if user is added more than once to same site or group

Hello All -
I am trying to add a user to a SharePoint site using PowerShell like below:-
New-SPUser -UserAlias MyDomain\jan20a -Web http://SPServer/sites/MySite
If I execute the above more than once, SharePoint does not throw that user already exists or something. This is not the same behavior in AD/Exchange PowerShell cmdlets.
Also, even the client object model behaves the same way.
Another interesting thing I noticed, I tried to remove a user from group in which the user was not part of it at all and still no error..!!
Looks like SharePoint does not care of invalid input and just ignores it.
Can anyone please confirm this and also the reason behind it ?

It's not really invalid input, since the user exists and that is how SharePoint behaves (will behave same way in browser). Try to input a user that and misspell the name, e.g. say you didn't have a MyDomain\Jan21a, then try to use same script above,
only with invalid data. It will bark at you. Or try using a web that it cannot find, one that does not exist. You'll get what I like to call, the red badge of courage if you enter invalid data.
you can test that sharepoint will let you enter a user twice in the browser, and nothing bad comes from it. Powershell is just unable to tell that the user was not in the site, when you removed it the second time.
Hope that confirms it, if it does please mark this reply accordingly. thanks

Hi,
i have issue with acccessing large list with more than 5000 elements. I use a Sharepoint Client Object Model.
It worked till yesterday when in the list was less than 5000. Now there is in the library more than 5000 elements. I have changed in the Central Administration limit for list from 5000 to 10000, but it helped only for list views. Script returns now 0 records.
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var currentListId =_spPageContextInfo.pageListId;
oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getById(currentListId);
var camlQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
camlQuery.set_viewXml('<View Scope=\"RecursiveAll\">'+
'<Query>'+
'<Where>'+

Please advice how i can resolve this issue. Thanks a lot!!

1) turn off a limit items for my list
2) used SPQuery.ListItemCollectionPosition
property,
3) and corrected little mistake in my CAML Query.
May be a punkt #2 will be enough, don't you :)

Is possible to site mailbox email address with different domains in sharepoint online - office 365

Can I set site mailbox email address with different domains in sharepoint online - office 365?
For eg I have two dns link with office 365 account - abc.com, xyz.com
So can i set site mailbox email according using powershell like follwoing
New-SiteMailbox –DisplayName "test" -Name "[email protected]" –SharePointUrl $NewlyCreatedsiteurl
New-SiteMailbox –DisplayName "test" -Name "[email protected]" –SharePointUrl $NewlyCreatedsiteurl

Hi Biraj,
From your description, you would like site mailbox to have two email address.
Since the issue is related to SharePoint online and Exchange online, I'd recommend you contact online support engineer for sufficient resource and more assistance. For your convenience:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154.aspx
In addition, I find some information that might be relevant for your reference:

Can I rename a site mailbox?
The display name of a site mailbox is the SharePoint team site display name. If you change the display name of the site in SharePoint, the display name also changes in Outlook. However, the site email address won’t be changed.

Infopath 2010: How To Seperate Multiple Users Selected In People Picker With A Semicolon

I've seen several posts on this forum about getting multiple user values in a people picker in Infopath to show up in a Sharepoint List. Obviously, they merge which isn't all that useful if you want to use that data for a workflow. I followed
Clayton Cobb's suggestion, and took a look at this blog which uses a
no code solution, which is what i need. Everything for this blog works for me, but I do not need to use the UserProfile web service.
I'm coming up just short though. I can successful select multiple users in my people picker, and as I do that, the text box populates itself separated by semicolons, but the same AccountId is repeated (of the 1st person selected in the people picker) instead
of the unique value of each user.
Here is my current result, with data fields shown
Here is the result I would like to see. This way the text box gets upload into Sharepoint so I can use it in other places.
Can someone please help me? I'm very close. Here is my function on the text box:
eval(eval(Person, 'concat(/my:myFields/my:PersonTraveling/pc:Person/pc:AccountId, "; ")'), "..")
XPath (advanced):
xdMath:Eval(xdMath:Eval(/my:myFields/my:PersonTraveling/pc:Person, 'concat(/my:myFields/my:PersonTraveling/pc:Person/pc:AccountId, "; ")'), "..")

Hi methitical,
Please change your XPath (advanced) to
xdMath:Eval(xdMath:Eval(/my:myFields/my:PersonTraveling/pc:Person, 'concat(pc:AccountId, "; ")'), "..")
to make it work.
Thanks & Regards,

Can you add People Picker with multiple values to Word Document using Quick Parts?

Hi all, I've been trying to develop a form in Word that takes a bunch of metadata from the SharePoint library. Most of it works okay, but when I try to add any fields that have been set up to take multiple entries in a people picker, they don't show up
in the add quick parts list. Any ideas, or is this a limitation?

Hi NREL,
According to your description, my understanding is that the people picker column with multiple values was missing in Word Quick Parts.
This is by design that we are unable to use the fields which is allowed multiple selections.
As a workaround, you can use a text field(Single line of text) to store the multiple values of the people column. When you create a document, start a workflow to update the text field using the values of the people column, then use the
text field in Word Quick Parts.
You can do as the followings:
Open your library, and create a new column using Single line of text.
Open your site with SharePoint 2010 Designer, create a workflow based on your library.
Add the action “Set Field in CurrenItem”, and set it like the screenshot.
Set the Start Options is “Start workflow automatically when an item is created”.

Wendy

I tried to play a song. But it says I need to authorize my computer with a very old apple id I dont use anymore and I cant play the song. How do I fix this?

I am trying to play a song I bought and it is saying I need to authorize my computer to use it with a very old id that I no longer use for apple. How do I get all my music back?

You need to authorize the computer with that specific Apple ID. If that account's inaccessible, delete the song and then purchase it from your current Apple ID, or click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

I open a pdf file with club members names and emails. I used to be able to click on the members email and a outlook box would appear with the email address .

I have a list of names and email addresses (250) and in a previous version of firefox I would go on the web page and when I would place the curser over the members email address and click it would automatically bring up an Outlook email to send box with the members email address already listed and ready for me to enter any information. This new firefox version (19) just lets the curser go across the email address and nothing happens when I click. How do I get the previous feature back?

Current Firefox versions have enabled a new build-in PDF Viewer and that viewer doesn't have all the features that the Adobe Reader has.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to completely disable the build-in PDF viewer and use the Adobe Reader instead.

How to model groups/members that are many to many using logical dimension?

This is the RPD support for cascading prompts in BI Answers. In our data model, we have agentgroups and agents, connected by an agentgroupbridge. Since agents can be in more than one group, the relationship is many:many. We'd like to be able to include both agentgroups and agents as input prompts. When a user selects one or more of the agentgroups in a drop-down selection list, only the agents in the agentgroup(s) selected appear in the agents' drop-down selection list.
agentgroup[full list of agentgroups] => make agentgroup selection => agents[only those agents in selected groups]
We plan to combine agentgroups and the bridge into a view, so that there would only be one step from the group to the members.
Can this be done in an OBI RPD? Is it implementable via logical dimension with hierarchy? If so, parent-child or level-based?
Thanks!

Hi thr,
Need to replicate it back in local to check how we can do contraint here with multiple selection of agentgroups in prompts. For sure only a hierarchy in RPD would be able to do this....
Incase you just want to try with one value selected in agentgroups then you can go for presentation variable.
Prompt1
- agentgroups column which set presntation variable 'pv_agtgrp'
Prompt2
- Show SQL for agentscolumn.bridgetable (pull bridgetable in presentation layer here) and the SQL would be
SELECT agentscolumn.bridgetable from bridgetable.SubjectArea where agentgroups.bridgetable = '@{pv_agtgrp}'. This would also populate a new presentation variable say 'pv_agts'
pv_agts would be used to filter the reports.
Hope this is useful to startwith...
