Permissions on Document Lib.

I have one site collections with one site, under this site collection there are 160 document library with unique permissions and about 180 people access these libraries. while all lib's are not shown to users because they do not have permission
, two lib's show up for everyone . Other users can see them but they can't see the content ( content is hidden from them). I checked all the settings and permission and it is not clear how these two library show up.
I moved the content ( only document lib) from sharepoint 2010 to 2013 with a migration tool.
again, all users have read permissions to the site, user have permission to only one document library under this site.
if I delete and recreate the document library I encounter the same effect.

Hi Behroozk,
Based on your description, you migrate content database from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 with third-party tool, and two libraries (not library content) shows to all users as unexpected.
Have you check if other libraries could be accessed via typing URL in browser like these 2 libraries?
Please check if these 2 libraries level have granted the permission to the account NT AUTHORITY\authenticated users.
And you may also want to connect the support of that third party migration tool, see if this issue is related to the data migration by tool.

How to Implement custom share functionality in SharePoint 2013 document Lib programmatically?

Hi,
I have created custom action for Share functionality in document library.
On Share action i'm showing Model pop up with Share form with addition functionality.
I am developing custom share functionality because there is some addition functionality related to this.
How to Implement custom share functionality in SharePoint 2013 document Lib pro-grammatically?

Hi Siddhehswar:
I would suggest that you use the
Ribbon. Because this is a flexible way for SharePoint. In my project experience, I always suggest my customers to use it. In the feature, if my customers have customization about permission then i can accomplish this as soon
as possible. Simple put, I utilize this perfect mechanism to resolve our complex project requirement. Maybe we customize Upload/ Edit/ Modify/ Barcode/ Send mail etc... For example:
We customize <Edit> Ribbon. As shown below.
When user click <Edit Item>, the system will
render customized pop up window.

Invalid permissions in Document Library

Hello,
Somehow we managed to get invalid permissions in Document Libraries on our Sharepoint server.
Our Farm is a brand new 2-tier setup (1 server is database, 1 server is AD, IIS and Sharepoint itself).
We added users at the same time as we copied our data to sharepoint (through the Explorer).
We have a subsite for our "Production"-employees, each Employee will make products for a set of customers.
Each Customer has his own Document Library; this is where we put contracts, project-documents, designs, everything.
So, we have Document Libraries called something like "Customer A", "Customer B", "Customer C". "Employee 1" works for Customer B so he will get access to Document Library "Customer B". He does not work
for Customer A or C, so he does not get access to those. We have about 60 customers so we have about 60 Document Libraries.
After we configured this and everything was set up we got complaints that our Employees could see (in the App-Treeview) large sets of "Customer"-libraries that they shouldn't be able to access. If they would click on it, they get an error saying
"Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you.". Also, other sites which should be invisible are indeed invisbile. I have a mix of valid and invalid sites.
So to continue the example: Employee can see 2 Document Libraries, "Customer A" and "Customer B", where I would expect he would only see "Customer B". "Customer C" is correctly hidden. When I look at the settings in
"Customer A" he has no access. But the customer is in the TreeView, nonetheless.
I went out to investigate. When I check permissions I can see the user indeed does not have any permissions. That is good.
I wrote some code (in C#, using Sharepoint.Client) and I found out that Document Libraries are working correctly (Customer C) only show "EmptyMask"-access for a user. And for sites that do NOT work correctly ("Customer A") I see the following
access:
EmptyMask
Open
BrowseUserInfo
UseClientIntegration
The "Open" permission would explain why the item is visible. It looks like these are inherited from the Site-settings (am I right?)
Now I don't know how to correct this situation.
I tried writing some code in C# that detects this invalid setup, but I can't find a way to only change these Permissions without creating new Security Roles and such. I don't want to create security roles.
I have googled for solutions, but I cannot find anyone with the same problem.
Anyone can give me one or more pointers?
Thanks in Advance!

Two points.
Are you logged in as an Admin or Site Owner? Security Trimming in things like Site Contents will act differently for Admins than it will for regular users
Enabling the checkbox you did in the document library should automatically add it to the Quick Launch unless you have custom edited the quick Launch. If you have then it takes the custom editing rather than the dynamic list created by the checkbox.
By default users will see the document libraries they have access to. The problem is that you've started customizing things and there is no easy way to get back to the default after you do.

File Sharing Permissions to Documents Without Having to Assign Each?

Not sure where else to ask this.
Background - work environment. Small 3 person office. Airport network. All computers Duo2Core with 10.5.1.
On my iMac - I have this configuration: Home>Public>Shared>Clients> Abel thru Zulu - (separate folders for each client), and inside each client folder, subfolders such as "Correspondence", "Documents", "Research" and so forth.
When I create a new document, for example - Clients>Charlie>Documents: "Work Paper", and I want my staff to have read/write access in order to revise or supplement "Work Paper", I have to manually Get Info for the documet, type in my password, unlock the little lock, and assign Read/Write.
I understand the security aspect, but for the Clients folder ONLY, I'd like any new document I create and place in there to automatically have Read/Write permissions for my staff.
Know little to nothing about Apple Script, but that's probably the only way to work around the routine of manually going to "Get Info" six dozen or more times a day.
So - anybody got a script that will do the trick? If so, a little instruction on setting it up would also be most appreciated.

I've been fiddling with sharing things between my two admin users on my computer, so that both have read and write permissions to files. I seem to have gotten it right, anyway, I just added a couple of jpegs to the folder from my primary account, logged into the other admin account, opened a jpeg, edited it and saved it with no problem, and did the same with my test account. Perhaps this will help you.
1. The users have to be members of the same group, in my case I picked the group "staff" since both admin users are members of that group, as well as the test account
2. I created a folder in the Sharing folder, called it "readwrite"
3. I then launched Terminal and entered this command:
NoobiX:~ francine$ chmod +a "staff allow write,append,writeattr,writeextattr,fileinherit,directoryinherit" /Users/Shared/readwrite
hit Return. Then did this command:
NoobiX:~ francine$ chmod +a "staff allow addfile,add_subdirectory,delete_child,writeattr,writeextattr,directoryinherit" /Users/Shared/readwrite
hit Return again. Note there are spaces between chmod, +a, the permissions list, and the path.
I then added the files to the readwrite folder, logged in to the other staff accounts, and successfully edited the added files. I then returned to my account, opened one of the edited files and made another change and saved it. Looks like it is working as intended.

Recovering Permissions on /usr/lib - pkgchk or perl script?

We have a SUN 280R running solaris 8 which accidently had a 'chmod-R 644 /usr/lib' run on it. The result was that on reboot, the system could not 'execute' or 'find' specific libraries such as ld.so.1 and some files associated with the veritas volume software we have installed on the system. We have been able to chmod most of /usr/lib 755 including ld.so.1. We would like to restore permissions to prevent any system stablity problems. so what is the better method to use here?
1.) do a grep /usr/lib on /var/sadm/install/contents, pull out all the package names with an awk statement and then run them in a loop with pkgchk -fa?
2.) Run a perl script which parses /var/sadm/install/contents, pulls out all the individual files in /usr/lib, and run a chmod <perm> $file on each file name?
Which method would be less destructive? My concern is that running pkgchk on all packages associated with /usr/lib may 'fix' something, or modify something which would prevent the system from coming up.
What key files in /usr/lib would prevent the system from coming back up, if permissions were incorrect? (i.e 644)? Should a chmod <perm> <file> for each file in the contents file for all files in /usr/lib resolve this problem completely?
Any advice would be appreciated.

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

Disk Utility Repair Disk Permissions now Documents folder is empty

After having trouble downloading a file (error message said disk was full but I had 12g free) I decided to try the 'Verify Disk' and then 'Restore Disk Permissions' actions in the Disk Utility application.
Now my 'Documents' folder is empty! No disk space has been freed up so I believe the files should still be there, I just can't see them. When I choose the 'Get Info' action on the 'Documents' folder it says 0 files.
Can anyone help? Please and thanks.

Document Check in /Check out permissions in document library share point 2010

Hi ,
I have created a approval work flow for document templates library .I need to create a group to have upload,amend changes through check in and check out.The group which has all rights can upload documents and amend new changes which other groups
cannot do.Could any one tell me how to do this.

Hi .NET User,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a group that allows user upload document through check in and check out.
I suggest you can create a group with contribute permission level to achieve it.

My Firewall is not letting me change permissions, and documents with .501 and .503 extensions are getting created related to Device Discovery and Image Capture!

I have good reason to believe my system has been compromised. Just a few minutes ago I went into the "System & Security" from the "Preferences" and I just happened to click on my firewall settings and in the window in which users can "allow" or "block" certain actions I saw a permission for screen sharing green and allowed, [shown in the picture below] and I tried many times to click on it and press the minus sign or change the permission from green to yellow or red and simply block it, but it appears to be frozen or locked and I cannot even select it. I'm on the administrator account so it's not a matter of user account. Clicking on it doesn't do anything. Having said that I can check and select the "Stealth Mode" and "Block All incoming Connections"... but why am I not able to select that Screen Sharing and what is it? [Image below]
I also spotted 2 strange looking docs created in my Library/Caches folder, file name: com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.501 and com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.503 [Image below]
In Finder, on the sidebar, next to the "Computer" icon under the devices, the title "Computer" itself has disappeared, and it's basicly blank and empty in front of the "Computer" Icon, it works and takes me to "Macintosh HD" when I click on it, but the writings have disappeared... [Image below]
Would anyone please tell me what this is all about? I'd really appreciate your help. Mac OS X 10.7.5 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7

I haven't been able to get my site posted up yet. Here is a link to it anyway:andrearosales.com
I will be working on connecting my files up to my server. At the moment, here are some screen shots of some messages that I am getting when I am saving my file.
I'm not sure what to make of these messages. I tried to put a new spry horizontal menu bar on my main page, and when it appeared, it displayed as a spry vertical menu bar.
Here is a picture of what it looks like:
I"m going to refer to the links that were suggested to me though. I'm not sure if pictures of the code will help to solve my problem. I'm going to try again to connect my files to my server though.

Document Security Not Retaining Permissions

I have created a form in 7.0 and published it to my repository on my hard drive. I've uploaded the form to my site for my users. The form has three signature boxes as it's used in a workflow. I have full blown Acrobat 7 but my users don't. I can sign the forms but my users can't. My doc security says that signing is permitted. Their doc security says signing is not permitted. I'M LOST! I've read all the help files regarding digital signatures and document security - nothing is helping me. Is there a guru on this forum that could assist me?

Hi Alex,
when you create a library and then go to the permissions settings for it it's set to not inherit permissions?
Ans : It Does not have any inherited permissions from the parent site.
Does it have a copy of the standard permissions set? If not what does it have and what is it missing from the site default?
Ans : No. Empty permissions.
But whenever i stop and start apply inherited permissions on the parent site works fine (I mean apply to all document library). but i could not do it all time whenever the new library create. I hope whenever the permissions changes on the parent site may
affect the document lib permissions. pls help how to proceed ?

Issue in creating a add link to a document content type on a doc lib name with , / special characters

hi,
i am having a requirement to create/use "add link to a document" content type for a item in the document library.
so i got the code from below site :
http://howtosharepoint.blogspot.in/2010/05/programmatically-add-link-to-document.html
my issue is, if teh document library names are single words - like MOM, model, procedures etc this functionality is working fine and i am able to view the link to a document as an item.
but when the doc lib name contains special characters like , or / , this link to a document content type functionality is NOT working.
can anyone pls point me whether this is the actual issue ? ie, if the doc lib name contains special chars like , or / my
add link to a document wont work? is there any restrictions/limitations for doc lib names in SharePoint ?
for eg: my doc lib names are :
1) Report and analysis, Data
2) form / template
3) map/ plot
help is highly appreciated!

hi,
its talking abt the subsite names and folders and NOT the document librraies.
is there any link which gives the naming convention / restricted names for document libs or splists , from msdn / blogs.technet.

Sharepoint 2013 / Office 365 Document library item level permissions problem

Hello,
I'm looking for a solution to enable users to upload documents to a document library, the ability to view other documents uploaded to the same document library, but able to edit or delete those other documents.
With a list you can use Item-Level security in Advanced Settings but this is not available for Document libraries. I could use workflows to assign individual permissions to document, but the the library already contains over 2,000 documents and will continue
to expand so I don't like the idea of having that many individual permissions set.
Are there any 3rd party plug-ins or solutions to this issue?
Thanks,

Try below:
http://www.hersheytech.com/Blog/SharePoint/tabid/197/entryid/28/Default.aspx
As it turns out the, setting Item-Level Permissions in a library is fully supported with PowerShell!
The PowerShell commands for changing this are very simple:
$web = Get-SPWeb http://YourSite/
$list = $web.Lists[“Your Document Library Name”]
$list.ReadSecurity = 2
$list.Update()
$web.Dispose()
Note the 3rd line which is where you determine the value for this setting using the following values:
1 = “Read all items”
2 = “Read items that were created by the user”
If you wish to modify the values for Create and Edit access instead, replace .ReadSecurity with .WriteSecurity with
the following values:
1 = “Create and edit All items”
2 = “Create items and edit items that were created by the user”
4 = “None”
For example:
$web = Get-SPWeb http://YourSite/
$list = $web.Lists[“Your Document Library Name”]
$list.WriteSecurity = 2
$list.Update()
$web.Dispose()

Item Level permissions document library

In SharePoint 2010 you could apply item level permissions to document libraries via PowerShell with
$web= Get-SPOSite "sitename"
$list = $web.Lists[“Listname”]
$list.ReadSecurity = 2
$list.Update()
$web.Dispose()
Is there a way to apply this to SharePoint online 2013? it doesn't seem to work.

Hi SpNerd,
For SharePoint 2013 Online, there is not a comdlet that is used to get a site. So, it seems that there is not a way to change Item-level permissions via PowerShell for SharePoint Online.
Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Online cmdlets
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161364(v=office.15).aspx
As a workaround, you can change Item-level permissions via SharePoint Online UI as List Settings->Advanced Settings->Item-level Permissions.
I hope this helps.

SharePoint Document Permissions?

I have a (what I thought is a simple task):
I would like to set permissions on my SharePoint 2013 on-premise as follows:
1. Each department has its own site (e.g Finance, HR, Admin etc)
2. I would like all Staff to be able to browse to each department site
3. The documents library should be accessible to members of the department in question
4. The files/folders in the document library should have List only access to all other
staff except if a particular file/folder has been explicitly shared with them.
Sounds simple right? Here's the problem I have:
Number 1 is done
Number 2 is done
Number 3 is done
Number 4 I have managed to do by granting View Only access to everyone and Read access to the Departmental members as needed.
I am not sure this is the best way to do it but it seems to work. Staff that are not members of the department can access the site, see the list of files but cant open them.
However.... I also have Office Web Apps and if they click the file it shows the contents of the file in Office Web Apps which is pointless if you don't want them to see the contents.
Prime example would be HR site. They have some very sensitive documents that should not be seen by non HR staff but other documents that they wish to share, should be open to all staff. I don't wish to have separate Document Libraries.
How can I achieve this seemingly simple task??
Thanks

Hi Paul - I have just tested that exact scenario you suggested again as I was hoping I had done something wrong in my previous testing and that it was in fact that simple.
Here's my problem though, but first the steps I followed so you can tell me if I did anything wrong:
1) Stop inheriting permissions on Document Library
2) Remove groups (other than admin type groups) from Document Library
3) Login with normal user (Lets call him Bob) - he cant see (hence browse) the Document Library at all and gets a permission denied when explicitly browsing to the Document Library URL.
4) Create a test Word file under root of Document Library - called Wordtest1.docx
5) Create a test Folder under root of Document Library and inside that folder create a second test Word file called Wordtest2.docx
6) Share the root Testword1.docx file with Bob. Bob can open this file via direct URL but cant browse the file because the Document Library URL still shows as no permission.
7) If I change the permission on the Document Library to allow "View" access then he can browse the files....but then via Office Web Apps he can also see inside every single document in the Document Library (even those not shared with him) which
is pointless.
8) PS: The reason I created the folder structure in point 5 above is that I found that if I have the Document Library as a web part on the main page of the Department site, I can see the file that has been shared with me. Yay. But if I share the file that
is in a folder within the Document library that file does not display and hence I cant see it or browse to it. F%$#
I really hope you can show me the error of my ways but I just cant see how I can achieve this which puts my whole SharePoint roll-out in huge jeopardy.
eim-operator - with regards the "shared with me" option on their personal page, correct me if I am wrong but this needs to be an additional 3rd party app as its not currently available on a Sharepoint on-premise solution, right?

Time Machine and Permissions- URGENT

I have been getting really frustrated with Time Machine. It's a good concept but needs some work.
I do have a semi-urgent matter though. I have been using time machine since leopard came out and it seemed to be working okay. HOWEVER, when I tried to access some files on the external drive that are not at all related to a time machine backup Mac OS X gave me the whole "you are not authorized to open this. Your permissions are all wrong, etc."
I have checked all the usual suspects. Made sure the ignore permission box was checked. I tried changed the permissions to other users but any time I made a change and closed the get info window everything was reverted back to the original settings from Time Machine (or what ever made the original change).
I really need these documents, so I turned on root and tried changing or accessing the permissions that way. No such luck. Same thing: it reverts back to previous versions when I close the window.
Any one have ideas? I have spent about 2 hours trying different things. Maybe there is something that I am not thinking about - -
~Thanks

bump... i found still need help with the permissions. (the documents are not quite a urgent at this point)
