Share Feature - Document Library - Contribute Users getting: Only a limited amount of people are allowed to share this content

Hi
I am getting the following error when users with contribute permissions try to share an individual document from a document library.
If I upgrade the user to full control they are then able to Share the file ok and not get the above error.
So what I am wondering is should users with contribute access be able to Share the document? If not then why is the Share option available?
Which permission level if I edit the contribute permission levels do I need to add, I cannot see any Share specific permissions for lists and reluctant to give contribute users access to modify permissions?
I'll continue troubleshooting to see if I find the solution but wondered if anyone in the community had come accross this? Googling the error message
Only a limited amount of people are allowed to share this content brings up nothing.

Today I fixed this issue by enabling Site Access Requests on the SharePoint sites with this problem. (http://blog.cloudshare.com/2012/12/09/how-to-configure-the-site-access-request-in-sharepoint-2013/)
Personally I think this is created by design, because it happens a lot that content is shared with users which do not have access to a SharePoint site and/or library. So I guess we do not have another option..
Programmatically the above could be done by setting the "SPWeb.RequestAccessEmail" property with a valid e-mail address. For example the site owner's e-mail address. Setting the "SPWeb.RequestAccessEnabled" property is not allowed and
is automatically done by settings the "SPWeb.RequestAccessEmail" property

  • How top Open a Excel Document from share point document library using jquery

    How top Open a Excel Document  from share point document library using jquery

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to open excel file via JQuery.
    To open excel file, we can use the following code.
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function openExcel(strFilePath) {
    var yourSite = "http://www.yoursite.com";
    openExcelDocPath(yourSite + strFilePath, false);
    function openExcelDocPath(strLocation, boolReadOnly) {
    var objExcel;
    objExcel = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
    objExcel.Visible = true;
    objExcel.Workbooks.Open(strLocation, false, boolReadOnly);
    </script>

  • Access MySite Document Library of User Who has shared a document.

    Hi Team,
    I am just confused as we are facing the issue from past two days, We have SharePoint 2013 on premise and are using Mysite Application. Suppose there are two users A and B.
    If A share a document from his personal document folder to B. B recieves email notification that a document is shared and he can edit or view documents depending on the permission.
    But if B visit the A Mysite and try to access his document library he gets access denied. As per OOTB behavior B should see Shared with everyone folder and the document which has been shared with him.
    Please help me to resolve the above issue.

    Hi,
    I have done a test in my SharePoint on premise. B can see shared with everyone folder of A and documents which is been shared with B from my site.
    For  resolving your issue, you need to check whether the feature ‘Limited-access user permission lockdown mode’ is active. if it is activated, you need to deactivate it.
    Open your site with an administrator account->Click Site Settings->Click Site Collection features under Site Collection Administration->Scroll  to Limited-access user permission lockdown mode, check whether it is active. If yes, please deactivate
    it.
    I  hope this helps.
    Best Regards,

  • Document library Permission - users/group can add/upload/modify but same time not to see other documents

    Hi,
    I have a question regarding SharePoint document library permission. I am using SharePoint 2013.
    I have 3 SharePoint groups (SP-Group-NL, SP-Group-US & SP-Group-BR).
    I have given the contribute access to all 3 groups in the document library, so that people can with in these group can upload/add/modify document inside it.
    Now I want that people from specific group can only view those document which they uploaded and not all.
    Note - (a) I don't want to use audience targeting. (b) I don't want to right any code.
    Regards,
    Yogendra

    Hi Yogendra,
    Per my understanding, you might want users in a specific group can view only the documents uploaded by themselves.
    In the OOTB list view settings, we can set filter on a list view to only display the documents created by the current user:
    However, if you want this filter only apply to users in a specific group, Audience Targeting or custom code would be required as there is no such OOTB feature in SharePoint
    list can meet this requirement.
    With Audience Targeting, a possible solution is that, we can add two list view web parts into one page, set Audience Targeting on one of them to display only when
    the current user is in the specific group, then modify the view settings to apply filter on this list view web part to make it only display the documents created by current user.
    Thanks

  • Issue when filtering with Managed Metadata Columns in Share Point Document Library

    Hi All
    I have a document library, and a four Metadata Columns in it, with each column having a number of term in it. I have no issues in adding a document or in term sets. We have set property of Managed Metadata Column as Allow Multiple Values. So some of the items
    in library contains values with only one term set. While other documents contains values with multiple values.
    We have a number of country sites having the document library  with same metadata columns. In document library default view i am showing Metadata column, User want to filter the documents (view) based on Metadata column selected.
    The filtering is giving inconsistent behavior. In production server it is giving in error with some correlation ID. On our development machine some times it is working fine and some other times it is given error of Validation of Viewstate MAC failed. i tried
    on different countries sites.
    I checked we have already kept the Metadata Navigation and Filtering under site action feature as activated. It was even more weird when i deactivated the feature on one country site and the filtering was working fine. And on other country site where i
    kept the feature as activated and the filtering was giving an error.
    Thanks & Regards
    Amit

    Hi Amit,
    Have you checked the ULS error message for more information with correlation ID?
    Please try using the library metadata navigation to filter these managed metadata columns value via configuring library "Metadata navigation settings" after you enabled the "Metadata Navigation and Filtering" feature,
    then check if the issue would still persist.
    Please see more information from below article with similar issue.

  • Can I Share a document with a user who does not have righs to the site? (SharePoint 2013 on prem)

    Joe is in Sales
    He must Share a document with Jane in Marketing.
    He only wants to Share this one document.
    Does he need to go into the Sales site and add Jane as a site user? Jane will then be able to see everything on the site. No good.
    Does Joe now need to break inheritance on all the other site libraries from Jane to hide them??
    In a perfect world, Joe shares the doc with Jane. Jane gets email with link. Jane clicks link and goes to sale site where all she sees is the document that was Shared- nothing else.
    Cheers, Jim ___________________________________________________ If this was helpful please mark as an answer.

    With 2013, you can just Share the specific item. It will automatically break inheritance on that item and allow Jane to see that one document only and Jane will get a link inviting her to the document.

  • How can I share my iTunes library between user accounts in iTunes 11

    Since upgrading my iTunes library to Version 11 I can no longer share the library between user accounts on the same Mac.
    The 2nd user is asked to create oir use an iTunes library, but when it is pointed to the Media folder it cannot share it.
    Previously in iTunes 10 it all worked fine.
    How can this be done please?
    The library is in a shared areas that we both have Read/Write permissions to.

    Copy it to his computer into his iTunes library and authorize his computer with the iTunes account used to purchase them..
    You cannot tranfser items from one iTunes account to another. Purchased items remain part of the iTunes account is was purchased with.
    iTunes account - used to purchase items
    iTunes library - where purchases (and CD RIPs) go on the computer

  • How to attach multiple attachments in info path form as a Hyperlink and storing in share point document library?

    Hi,
    I have designed a infopath form which is having multiple attachment control and user will upload multiple documents on it.
    The problem in sharepoint infopath form is user's are unable to attach large files which is more than 5 MB (since default limit is 4096KB).
    I know we can increase the User session data for Infopath in central admin .But that will impact our server CPU since we want to increase to 50 MB.
    I got the other approach which is like storing the documents in sharepoint document library and adding the attachments as a hyperlink in infopath form which will reduce the size of the form and will not affect performance.
    Can anyone please provide the detailed explanation and method here(if possible with screenshots)
    Thanks & regards,
    Poovi

    Hello,
    I also had same requirement earlier and what i did, i have given the doc library link to infopath form to upload file. Then create new web service data connection to get files from library to infopath and show as hyperlink. Basically you can add one repeating
    section with hyperlink control to bind the files in IP.
    You may refer this blog and it has explained exactly same approach

  • Packaged App - Document Library - New user password?

    How do you set the password for a new user on the Document Library packaged app. The documentation suggests that by default it uses 'Standard application express authentication' which can then be changed. In which case the user admin function in the app does not work in its default state and would need to be removed if the user wants to use 'Standard application express authentication' (or does it?)
    Which leads me to another question:
    Is it possible to manage application express users from an application express app in Apex 3.0?
    Thanks
    Simon

    Simon:
    For a new user, you also need to create them as a normal Application Express authenticated user. To do that, click the Manage Application Express Users link under Administration from the Application Expres home page.
    The only thing the Document Library handles is authorization (who can do what). Authentication (who the heck are you) is determined by the application setting, which by default is standard Application Express authentication. So all you are doing in the Document Library on the user administration page, is defining who is a reader, contributor, or administrator. You are not actually creating users, you are just defining the rights for existing users.
    Regarding your second question, you can use the APEX_UTIL API to handle user management within your application. See:
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/appdev.300/b32471/api.htm#CHDBDCIE
    Specifically, CREATE_USER Procedure, EDIT_USER Procedure, CHANGE_CURRENT_USER_PW Procedure, etc.
