How check page level permission on SharePoint pages library using JSOM

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how check page level permission on SharePoint pages library using JSOM.
Tanks in advance .
Regards,
Hari
Regards, Hari

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to check the page level permission on SharePoint Pages library via JSOM.
I have made a simple code demo to check whether current user has edit permission for the pages in Pages library, it works like a charm.
You can re-write it to fit your environment.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var web;
var list;
$(function(){
$("#Button1").click(function()
console.log(1);
getListItems('Pages',success_Items,error_Items);
console.log(2);
function getListItems(listTitle,success,error)
var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
this.web = context.get_web();
this.list = context.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle(listTitle);
this.items = list.getItems(SP.CamlQuery.createAllItemsQuery());
this._currentUser = web.get_currentUser();
context.load(this._currentUser);
context.load(web,'EffectiveBasePermissions');
context.load(items);
context.executeQueryAsync(
function() {
success(items);
error
function success_Items(items){
var e = items.getEnumerator();
while (e.moveNext()) {
this.item = e.get_current();
console.log(this.item.get_item('FileLeafRef')); //print File or Folder Name
console.log(this.item.get_item('FileRef')); //print File or Folder Url
if (this.web.get_effectiveBasePermissions().has(SP.PermissionKind.editListItems)) {
console.log('Nice, edit list item permissions!');
else {
console.log('Boo, no edit list item permissions!');
function error_Items(sender,args){
console.log(args.get_message());
</script>
<input id="Button1" type="button" value="Check Permissions"/>

Document Set Creation in document library using REST API in Sharepoint 2013

Hi,
I want to create the document set using REST API call. Currently i am able to create the folder and able to upload the files using REST API's in the document library. Is there any way we can pass the contentype name or Id and create the document set using
REST API call. We need to create the document set along with metadata and upload the files inside the document set.
I need to create the document set along with meta data column values using REST API. Please let me know how we can achieve this through REST API.
Thank you,
Mylsamy

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create document set along with managed metadata fields.
The REST API does not currently support working with Managed Metadata or Taxonomy fields.
As a workaround, we can use the JavaScript Client Object Model.

Creating a new folder in a SharePoint library using C# Windows Application.

I have tried to create a folder within a SharePoint document library. The coding is as follows.
Text Box Name: txtNewFolderName
Button Name : btnCreateNewFolder
private void btnCreateNewFolder_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
//String parameters for site URL and site name
const string siteUrl = "http://thekingsbury/";
const string siteName = "/SiteDirectory/thekingsbury/";
//Freeze UI
Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
btnCreateNewFolder.Enabled = false;
//Use SPSite constructor to assign site collection based on top-level URL
SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite(siteUrl);
//Assign target site (SPWeb instance) based on site name
SPWeb site = siteCollection.AllWebs[siteName];
//Create an instance of SPDocumentLibrary based on the named doc library list
SPDocumentLibrary docLibrary = (SPDocumentLibrary)site.Lists["Test Library"];
//Create instance of SPFolderCollection and add a named folder based on forms input,
//then update library to reflect added folder
SPFolderCollection myFolders = site.Folders;
myFolders.Add("http://thekingsbury/Test%20Library/" + txtNewFolderName.Text + "/");
docLibrary.Update();
//UI clean-up
Cursor = Cursors.Default;
btnCreateNewFolder.Enabled = true;
Site URL :
http://thekingsbury/
Site Name: thekingsbury
Document Library : Test Library
My problem is when I click the button it gives an error as the following.
The Web application at http://thekingsbury/ could not be found.
Verify that you have typed the URL correctly.
If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application.
The error shows at the following statement.
"SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite(siteUrl);"
I created both Windows & Web solutions and the result was the same.
Note: I have add the reference to the SharePoint using the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll file. And used the "using Microsoft.SharePoint;" statement.
Please can someone help me on this matter.It's a real paint to me.

The complete solution using an InfoPath 2010 form is as the below.
using Microsoft.Office.InfoPath;
using System;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.XPath;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq;
namespace Create_Folder_In_SharePoint_Library
public partial class FormCode
public void InternalStartup()
((ButtonEvent)EventManager.ControlEvents["btnCreateFolder"]).Clicked += new ClickedEventHandler(btnCreateFolder_Clicked);
public void btnCreateFolder_Clicked(object sender, ClickedEventArgs e)
SPSite mySite = new SPSite("Http://thekingsbury/");
SPWeb myWeb = mySite.OpenWeb();
//Code to retreive the new library.
XPathNavigator xLibraryName = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
String NewLibraryName = xLibraryName.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:LibraryName", NamespaceManager).Value;
//Code to retreive the library description.
XPathNavigator xLibraryDesc = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
String NewLibDesc = xLibraryDesc.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:LibraryDescription", NamespaceManager).Value;
//Code to retreive the new folder name.
XPathNavigator xFolderName = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
String NewFolderName = xFolderName.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:FolderName", NamespaceManager).Value;
//Creating the new library.
myWeb.Lists.Add(NewLibraryName, NewLibDesc, SPListTemplateType.DocumentLibrary);
myWeb.Update();
//Creating the new folder within the new library.
SPDocumentLibrary newDocLibrary = (SPDocumentLibrary)myWeb.Lists[NewLibraryName];
SPFolderCollection newFolders = myWeb.Folders;
newFolders.Add("http://thekingsbury/" + NewLibraryName + "/" + NewFolderName + "/");
newDocLibrary.Update();
I think everyone can use this.
When you are generating a folder always try to avoid reserved characters : ; # $ % ^ a and suchlike.

Add user to sharepoint group using REST API

I am trying to add a user to sharepoint group with following code
serviceUrl= Appweb + "/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/sitegroups("+GroupId+")/users?@target='host web'";
$.ajax({
url: serviceUrl,
type: "POST",

success: function (data) {
alert('success');
error: function (data) {
alert('fail');
The request goes to error function. Response of the request is Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.InvalidClientQueryException and message is A node of type 'EndOfInput' was read from the JSON reader when trying to read the start of an entry. A 'StartObject' node was
expected
I tried the sample from following link but fail it
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn531432.aspx

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to add an user to a SharePoint group in host web from a SharePoint Hosted App using REST API.
Here is a working demo for your reference:
var hostweburl;
var appweburl;
$(document).ready(function () {
//Get the URI decoded URLs.
hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter("SPHostUrl"));
appweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter("SPAppWebUrl"));
// Resources are in URLs in the form:
// web_url/_layouts/15/resource
var scriptbase = hostweburl + "/_layouts/15/";
// SP.RequestExecutor.js to make cross-domain requests
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", loadPage);
// Utilities
// Retrieve a query string value.
// For production purposes you may want to use a library to handle the query string.
function getQueryStringParameter(paramToRetrieve)
var params = document.URL.split("?")[1].split("&");
for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i = i + 1)
var singleParam = params[i].split("=");
if (singleParam[0] == paramToRetrieve) return singleParam[1];
function addUsersInGroup() {
var executor;
// Initialize the RequestExecutor with the app web URL.
executor = new SP.RequestExecutor(appweburl);
executor.executeAsync({
url: appweburl + "/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/sitegroups(8)/users?@target='" + hostweburl + "'",
method: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: 'json',
body: "{'__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.User' },'LoginName':'i:0#.f|membership|[email protected]'}",
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose",
"content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest":$("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
success: addUsersInGroupSuccessHandler,
error: addUsersInGroupErrorHandler
function addUsersInGroupSuccessHandler(data)
console.log(data);
var jsonObject = JSON.parse(data.body);
console.log(jsonObject);
function addUsersInGroupErrorHandler(data)
console.log(data);
var jsonObject = JSON.parse(data.body);
console.log(jsonObject);

Error when downloading large SharePoint document using REST API

Hello,
The following code works fine for small files, but I got "SCRIPT14: Not enough storage is available to complete this operation." error when downloading files over 100M.
Is it possible to write the data directly to a local storage (IndexedDB for example) instead of keeping it in memory?
        var getFileEndpoint = String.format(
             "{0}/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/getfilebyserverrelativeurl('{1}')/$value?@target='{2}'",
             _SPAppWebUrl, _DocumentUrl, _SPHostUrl);
        var executor = new SP.RequestExecutor(_SPAppWebUrl);
        var info = {
            url: getFileEndpoint,
            method: "GET",
            //binaryStringResponseBody: true,
            success: function (data) {
                //Save data to IndexedDB
            error: function (err) {
                //Error handling
        executor.executeAsync(info);
Since my page is located in a SharePoint Hosted App, I can't use XMLHttpRequest directly to access the document in the host site. Seems like the MS cross-domain library is the only choice to me.
Thanks,
Matt.

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to download the content of files into database in SharePoint Hosted App.
In SharePoint Hosted App, as we can only use JavaScript which is supposed to be executed in browser, the content retrieved will be stored in memory then to the local hard drive.
As a workaround, I suggest you develop a Provider Hosted App and do the same job there instead. In Provider Hosted App, we can use C# to handle the file downloading which should
be more appropriate in your scenario.

Get/retreive managed metadata column value from Document Library using SharePoint 2013 JSOM

Hi,
I am trying to retrieve managed metadata column (NewsCategory) value in SharePoint 2013 Document library using JSOM.
I get "Object Object" rather than actual value.
I tried:-
var newsCat = item.get_item('NewsCategory');
alert(newsCat) //Displays [Object Object]
var newsCatLabel = newsCat.get_label();
var newsCatId = newsCat.get_termGuid();
But, I get the error "Object doesn't support property or method get_label()"
I also tried :-
var newsTags = item.get_item(' NewsCategory ');
for (var i = 0; i < newsTags.get_count() ; i++) {
var newsTag = newsTags.getItemAtIndex(i);
var newsTagLabel = newsTag.get_label();
var newsTagId = newsTag.get_termGuid();
Even now I get the error "Object doesn't support property or method get_count()"
I have included " NewsCategory " in the load request:- context.load(items, 'Include(File, NewsCategory)');
Any idea what the issue is? Do I have to add any *.js file using $.getScript?
I added following .js files
var scriptbase = _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl + "/_layouts/15/";
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Runtime.js", function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.js", function () {
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.Core.js", function () {

Hi Patrick,

/*the above CAML query successfully gets all the list items matching the criteria including "NewsCategory" managed metadata column values
But when I try to display the value it retrieved it ouputs/emits Object Object rather than actual values */
var items = list.getItems(camlQuery);
context.load(items, 'Include(File,NewsCategory)');
context.executeQueryAsync(
Function.createDelegate(this, function (sender, args) {
if (items.get_count() > 0) {

var oListItem = listItemEnumerator.get_current();
var file = oListItem.get_file();
var name = file.get_name();
var newsCat = oListItem.get_item('NewsCategory'); alert(newsTags.constructor.getName());
alert(newsCat) //Displays [Object Object]
var newsCatLabel = newsCat.get_label(); // Here it errors out with message "Object doesn't support property or method get_label()"
var newsCatId = newsCat.get_termGuid();
} //end while
}//end if
Function.createDelegate(this, function (sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getdata, "SP.Core.js");
</script>
In the above script "var name = file.get_name(); " gets the exact file name.
But the line "var newsCat = item.get_item('NewsCategory');
alert(newsCat) //Displays [Object Object] rather than actual value.
Issue resolved replace "oListItem.get_item('NewsCategory');" with oListItem.get_item('NewsCategory').get_label();"

Not able to edit the emailed document to SharePoint library

Did anyone try to edit the Word Documents that are populated from the outlook emails into the SharePoint library using Incoming Email setttings?
This library doesn't have any required cols but still it is giving this error message all the time:
The File cannot be saved because some properties are missing or invalid.
Use the document Information panel to provide the correct property values. errors for required properties are marked with red asterisk and errors for invalid properties are marked with a red dashed border.
When I go to the information panel, I just see a red asterisk beside the
location- populated with the path of the file location.
Does anyone faced this issue before?
Advanced thanks for the help.

Hi,
It seems a default behavior in SharePoint 2010 for an email enabled list.
You can try the workaround below:
1. Go to the doc library where you have enabled incomingemail> go to Library Settings
2. Go to the Content Types section (you have to enable manage Content types
from Advanced Settings if not done already)
3. Add a new content type fromthe list of existing content types > good to try with Basic Page. Make that as the Default (select it as #1).
4. Once you are done with the changes, go to our Outlook client and send an
emailto the same list with an attached Word or Excel file and try Saving it after
Edit.

Creating Job material using public API from WIP

Take the entered component part number and search in the WIP job material requirements. This should use a WIP API. If the material is found, increment the quantity. If material is not found, create the job material using public API. (Provide WIP API details)
The java object, oracle.apps.csd.schema.server .CsdHvWipJobPvtEO is a wrapper to call WIP API. This should be used to create material requirements is this the procedure to create job material Req.

Hi Pat,
What is your SBO version? I've seen several cases in which the login/connection procedure (both in the client and via DI API) has become much slower after upgrading to SBO 2005.
Do you experience the same slowness when connecting via DI API in a non-WebService setting?
I would not recommend using DI API in a web service context in the first place. DI Server would give you a much more robust, stable and scalable infrastructure to build upon.

How to get Document Set property values in a SharePoint library in to a CSV file using Powershell

Hi,
How to get Document Set property values in a SharePoint library into a CSV file using Powershell?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
AA.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to you want to get document set property value in a SharePoint library and then export into a CSV file using PowerShell.
I suggest you can get the document sets properties like the PowerShell Command below:
[system.reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.sharepoint")
$siteurl="http://sp2013sps/sites/test"
$listname="Documents"
$mysite=new-object microsoft.sharepoint.spsite($siteurl)
$myweb=$mysite.openweb()
$list=$myweb.lists[$listname]
foreach($item in $list.items)
if($item.contenttype.name -eq "Document Set")
if($item.folder.itemcount -eq 0)
write-host $item.title
Then you can use Export-Csv PowerShell Command to export to a CSV file.

Unable to add aspx file to document library using REST and JSOM in SharePoint Hosted App

Hi,
I am unable to add an aspx file to document library. I was actually trying to create a WIKI page and upload to Pages library but that wasn't working so I tried simple document library. It keeps failing with Access Denied error. I have checked
the blocked types and aspx is not included. I can upload it directly from the browser so that shouldn't be the case. I have read that it can be achieved with CSOM but I need this to work with a SharePoint Hosted App. Here is my JSOM:
factory = new SP.ProxyWebRequestExecutorFactory(appweburl);
context.set_webRequestExecutorFactory(factory);
appContextSite = new SP.AppContextSite(context, hostweburl);
oWeb = appContextSite.get_web();
oList = oWeb.get_lists().getByTitle('Documents');
fileCreateInfo = new SP.FileCreationInformation();
fileCreateInfo.set_url("mywiki.aspx");
fileCreateInfo.set_content(new SP.Base64EncodedByteArray());
fileContent = "<%@ Page Inherits=\"Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.TemplateRedirectionPage,Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing,Version=15.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c\" %> <%@ Reference VirtualPath=\"~TemplatePageUrl\"
%> <%@ Reference VirtualPath=\"~masterurl/custom.master\" %>";
for (var i = 0; i < fileContent.length; i++) {
fileCreateInfo.get_content().append(fileContent.charCodeAt(i));
newFile = oList.get_rootFolder().get_files().add(fileCreateInfo);
context.load(newFile);
context.executeQueryAsync(function () {
alert('yo');
}, function (sender, args) {
alert(args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
If I change the file extension to "txt", it works. Same with REST implementation, it works with "txt" but fails with "aspx". Maybe what I am trying to do will not work using JSOM or REST. Any suggestions? Your
help is always appreciated.

kashif

Your code works fine in both my on-premises and SharePoint Online. I have given the app full control, so I suspect this is a permissions issue. I would check your permissions on your appmanifest. Must be something to do with publishing permissions. Try
giving full control and work the permissions down.

Thank you in advance! :-)


Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update list column in SharePoint hosted apps using JavaScript Client Object Model.
Based on the error message, it seems not retrieve the list object in context. I suggest you debug the code step by step using Internet Explorer Developer Tools to
find the problem.
Here are some demos about using JavaScript Client Object Model in SharePoint hosted app:
