Unable to share doc to sharepoint group

Hi - I have users with read permissions that are able to share documents with users but somehow are not able to share the same documents with sharepoint groups. Has anyone come across this or know how to resolve this?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not share document to SharePoint group using the read permission.
I think it’s by design, we could not share group with read permission.
If you want to share documents to a SharePoint group with read permission, you can change the read permission level as below.
1. Log in the your site with a user account who has Full control permission on the site
2. Click Settings->Site settings->Site permissions under Users and Permissions
3. Click Permission levels on the PERMISSIONS ribbon
4. Click Read
5. Under Site Permissions, select Manage Permissions
6. Click Submit
Thanks & Regards,

Unable to remove user from SharePoint Group using PowerShell

I am trying to remove a user from a SharePoint Group using PowerShell.
I can see the user in the Site Collection as part of the SharePoint Group, however, when I attempt to run the script, I get an error message stating "Can not find the user with ID: 10"
Below is the PowerShell script that I am using:
$url = "https://sharepointdev.spfarm.spcorp.com/sites/desitecoll"
$userName = "spfarm\sp2013_svc"
#$userName = "spfarm\spprofileimport";
$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($url)
$web = $site.OpenWeb()
$siteGroups = $web.SiteGroups;
Clear-Host
$mySiteGroups = @();
foreach($group in $siteGroups)
Write-Host $group
$mySiteGroups += $group;
}#foreach
$members = $web.SiteGroups[$mySiteGroups[0]];
$owners = $web.SiteGroups[$mySiteGroups[1]];
$visitors = $web.SiteGroups[$mySiteGroups[2]];
#Remove the user from the specified SharePoint Group
$spUser = Get-SPUser -Identity $userName -Web $url
Write-Host $spUser.ID
Remove-SPUser -Identity $spUser -Web $url -Group $owners
$web.Update();
$web.Dispose();
Write-Host "User " $userName "removed from " $owners
Please advise.

I had to update the code to the following because Get-SPUser was not working properly:
$url = "https://sharepointdev.spfarm.spcorp.com/sites/desitecoll"
$userName = "spfarm\spprofileimport";
$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($url)
$web = $site.OpenWeb()
$siteGroups = $web.Groups;
Clear-Host
$mySiteGroups = @();
foreach($group in $siteGroups)
Write-Host $group
$mySiteGroups += $group;
}#foreach
$members = $web.Groups[$mySiteGroups[0]];
$owners = $web.Groups[$mySiteGroups[1]];
$visitors = $web.Groups[$mySiteGroups[2]];
#Convert the user name to an SPUser account
$spUser = $web.Site.RootWeb.EnsureUser($userName);
Write-Host $spUser.ID
Remove-SPUser -Identity $spUser -Web $url -Group $owners
$web.Update();
$web.Dispose();
Write-Host "User " $userName "removed from " $owners
Was I not using Get-SPUser correctly?

After upgrading to Yosemite, I am unable to share screen with Macbook Pro

After upgrading to Yosemite 10.10 on a 2008 MacBook Pro I am unable to "Share Screen" using my authorized user account. It worked fine before I upgraded to Yosemite.
I can access "Share Screen" by "requesting permission", but of course this doesn't work unless I am sitting right by the MacBook Pro to give myself permission, which defeats my original purpose for using "Share Screen".
I attempted to add another authorized "Share Screen" user account, but was unable to access the list of add "Groups and Users" on the host MacBook Pro from the "Share Screen" dialog box. The dialog box pops up, when I press "+" to add another user, but the list of users fails to appear. I assume the list of authorized users for screen share has somehow become corrupt.
All other ways to access "sharing user" accounts appear to be working properly. I can add and remove other "sharing users" without problems. For example, I can add a new authorized "file share" user and share files without problems.
I ran Disk Utility in Recovery Mode and normal mode and corrected all errors, and user permissions on both machines. I also ran "resetpassword" from Terminal in Recovery Mode and "reset" user permissions. I am not an experienced Terminal or Recovery Mode user though.
I also tried turning the Firewall off, to no avail.
I am attempting to access "Screen Share" on the MacBook Pro via a Macbook Air 13" manufactured mid 2013 also with Yosemite 10.10, however, I also attempted with an older MacBook Air which experiences the same problem.

Thanks for the idea but it did not work, I do not know why it is asking me for a password which I never needed before for a guest to use the computer? I have tried everything and I do not know which password it wants? I do not see any option for a password for the guest account, to create one or delete one or modify it? Maybe this bug\problem will be addressed in a future update?

Using share function with Site Groups

Hi,
When we share a file with someone in SharePoint 2013, the user will receive an email generally.
I have observed that when we put a sharepoint group rather than a single user in the sharing pane, the email doesn't go to everyone in the group.
Can we configure it so that an email is sent out to everyone in the group. In other words to entire group.
Thanks.

Hi Prajk11,
In SharePoint 2013, the ‘Share With’ function cannot send emails to groups, can only send to individuals. It is by design. The only workaround I found is that we use Share With function for each people in this group instead of the group.

Using output from dynamic DL to add to sharepoint group

Hi,
I have output a dynamic DL to a variable $people but am unable to add users to a sharepoint group with the method below:
$poeple | foreach {Add-SPOUser -Group "US Team Members" -Site https://contoso.sharepoint.com -LoginName $_.PrimarySMTPAddress}
Output for the above command is Add-SPOUser : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'LoginName'
Which tells me there is an issue with my variable supplying the PrimarySMTPAddress property. When I check against get-member, it is definitely there. See below:
PS> $people | gm | findstr -i primary
PrimarySmtpAddress Property System.String {get;set;}
I am not sure how to proceed about accomplishing this or if it is even possible. Any help is greatly apprecated! Thanks all!

I don't have the same cmdlet to test but give this a shot:
$people | foreach {Add-SPOUser -Group 'US Team Members' -Site 'https://contoso.sharepoint.com' -LoginName "$($_.PrimarySmtpAddress)" }
or
foreach ($person in $people)
Add-SPOUser -Group 'US Team Members' -Site 'https://contoso.sharepoint.com' -LoginName "$($person.PrimarySmtpAddress)"

Share an ASM disk group among multiple nodes

According to Oracle documentation:
*“To share an ASM disk group among multiple nodes, you must install Oracle Cluster ware on all of the nodes, regardless of whether you install Oracle RAC on the nodes”.*
And if I understand it right to share the same ASM storage group from multiple nodes from separate RACs or multiple non-RAC nodes ASM instances in those nodes need to communicate to synchronize ASM related metadata using same technique like cache fusions.
My question is how this ASM communication take place among different ASM instances located in different RACs and standalone servers. Do we have to have some kind of Interconnect settings among the nodes?

Hi,
ASM and database instances require shared access to the disks in a disk group. ASM instances manage the metadata of the disk group and provide file layout information to the database instances.
ASM instances can be clustered using Oracle Clusterware; there is one ASM instance for each cluster node. If there are several database instances for different databases on the same node, then the database instances share the same single ASM instance on that node.
If the ASM instance on a node fails, then all of the database instances on that node also fail. Unlike a file system failure, an ASM instance failure does not require restarting the operating system. In an Oracle RAC environment, the ASM and database instances on the surviving nodes automatically recover from an ASM instance failure on a node.

Cannot assign an email address to SharePoint group (distribution groups)

Hello,
I configured incoming email awhile back in our SharePoint 2010 environment and it works great. I can assign an email address to a list and the necessary contact is created in AD in the OU I configured for incoming email and of course the item emailed in
is added to the list. However, if I try to assign an email address to a SharePoint group to create a distribution group, the following happens:
The following error has occurred while attempting to contact the Directory Management Service: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
From what I've found on Technet and other resources, if incoming email works as expected, assign an email address to a group should work without issue but this obviously isn't the case. I've dug around in the 14 hive and pretty much the same exact error
is found there (with just a little more detail):
System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall)
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.DirectorySoap.SPDirectoryManagementProxy.CreateDistributionGroup(String Alias, String Name, String Description, String ContactCN, RequestInfo Info, DistributionGroupFlags Flags)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPGroup.CreateDMS(String dlAlias, String friendlyName, String description, String[] members, String requestor, String justification, Int32& jobId)
Any ideas what this could be? I'd imagine the timer service account has the appropriate permission on the OU as it can create objects for lists with incoming email enabled without issue.

For the issue with group members who are not added during the creation process ...
I followed this Technet article : Configure
incoming email for a SharePoint 2013 farm
But in the paragraph "Configure AD DS to be used with Directory Management Service", I added
delegation of control for the following common tasks :
Create, delete and manage groups
Modify the membership of a group
The distribution group gets created in AD with members in SharePoint 2013 ! It should work with 2010 as well…
PS : Do not forget to set up these rights, not only for the Central Administration Application pool Identity account, but for all
your Web Applications!

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.

Display Like and Share functionality in SharePoint 2013 search result

Hello Experts,
I dont Know whether i am asking a good question or bad one . but i am not very much expert in search.
I have to display No of Likes , Share functionality in SharePoint Search Results.
i know little basic about how display templates works. i want to implement these like and share functionality as actions in Item_common_hoverpanel_Actions template. show that i can see in preview.
please if any body can help me . i will be highly thankful to you.
Mukesh

This will be difficult. The number of likes has a managed property called LikesCount but it is not populated by the search crawler. So your JavaScript will have to read the "LikesCount" field of the corresponding list item. That would be a
lot of code to execute in the item display template just to display the number of likes. You could have a button that displayed a callout that would get the information and display it. The Sharing could be done via JavaScript in your item display template
using a REST call. You can see an example of code to do that here:
http://sharepointfieldnotes.blogspot.com/2014/09/sharing-documents-with-sharepoint-rest.html?showComment=1428595550241#c3227376854590814312
Just remember the user must have permission to share these documents, so your code will have to handle this.

[Resolved]Outlook 2013 with Office 365: Unable to log in to: SharePoint. Click here to log in.

This is posted so that it may be of assistance to others.
I am using Outlook 2013 (Office 2013 Pro Plus) with Office 365 (E3 Subscription). Active Directory is federated with Office 365. I recently had to change my AD account password.
On my home computer, that is not a domain member and is running Windows 8.1 with my personal Microsoft account, Outlook was not authenticating to SharePoint Online. In the message/event windows the error "Unable to log in to: SharePoint. Click
here to log in." is displayed. When I click the error it flashes and does nothing else. Outlook was showing SEND/RECEIVE errors for all of my SharePoint Online calendars and lists:
Task 'SharePoint' reported error (0x80070005): 'You do not have permission to view this SharePoint List (IT Shared Calendar). Contact the SharePoint site administrator. HTTP 403.'
I could send and receive e-mail. I deleted one of the calendars and then added it back from the SharePoint site ribbon- no change. I was always able to access the calendars and lists using IE.
I checked Windows Credential Manager. I deleted my Outlook credential (MS.Outlook.15) which prompted me to enter my Exchange Online credentials but did not prompt for SharePoint Online. I then deleted my Office credential (MicrosoftOffice15_Data:orgid) with
no change.
It was not until I switched Office over to use my organizational (Federated AD) account that the problem was resolved.
It appears Outlook (15.0.4615.1000) now gets confused between accounts- because previously I had no issues when changing my password as Outlook would always prompt for it. I noticed this behavior had changed on my office computer when Outlook did not give
me the usual three prompts for password after changing it.

AD Group membership not updating in Sharepoint Foundation when adding Active Directory group to Sharepoint group

I have Sharepoint Foundation installed with the latest CU updates. It is running on a VMware box (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) with its backend on a SQL Server 2008 R2 vmware box. The farm account is a domain user and has been given all appropriate
replication rights, etc to active directory.
Everything seems to be working fine except for security integrated with AD groups. When I go to edit permissions I can add individual AD users just fine and remove them just fine and their access is taken away right away or given to them right away.
I can also find AD groups in the people picker and add them to the site. When I add new groups to AD, they are found immediately within Sharepoint, and when I delete groups from AD, they are taken out of the people picker right away. Now comes
the weird part. When I add an AD group to the site, all users currently within that AD group are given access to the Sharepoint Site. This works for the first time only. Now when I add or remove users from the AD groups, it does not update
in SharePoint. For example, I have an AD testuser1 in the AD Group "All Users". testuser1 does not have access to SharePoint. So I add the AD group to the Sharepoint group "Visitors". testuser1 now has read access to the sharepoint
site. Now, I remove testuser1 from the AD group, but testuser 1 still has access to the site even though he is not part of the AD group, nor does he have any individual permissions to the site. Now, I add testuser2 to the ad group. testuser2
does not have access to the site, even though he is part of the ad group.
It seems that the only time AD group security is working for me is when I first initially add the AD group to the site. From then on, it's like sharepoint is caching the members of the group and not updating any new adds or deletes from the groups.
Any ideas? I am lost on where to go from here as I have tried everything from clearing cache files, rebooting servers, iisresets....

I think I have at least cornered the problem, but am not 100% sure yet that it is the correct answer. I think it could be 1 of the following 2 scenarios.
Scenario 1: We have 3 web applications setup on our web server ports 80 - Our sharepoint Web app, 2020 - Our My Site Web App, 2040 - Our Search Web app. We are using host headers (http://sharepoint.***.com) instead of a server name. So
we setup our access mappings (Central Admin -> Application Management -> Configure Alternate access mappings) to use the host header (http://sharepoint.***.com) as the default mapping and the server name as the intranet access mapping. By
setting the default access mapping to host headers, i noticed that Sharepoint automatically assumes that all web apps are on port 80. You can see this by going to (Central Admin -> Manage Web Applications). The port listed all 3 web apps on
port 80. So I think when I was doing a profile sync and using mysites, it was messing with my AD security because of this. What I did was the following. I went to Central Admin -> Manage Service Applications -> [Name of your user profile
service] -> Setup my sites. I made sure that my preferred search center had the correct port number on it (mine originally had no port number), that my my site host had a port (again no port number originally), as well as the personal site location.
I then saved this.
Scenario 2: Our user profile sync had 2 BDC connections that were corrupt and throwing errors. I rebuilt the connections, remapped them to the proper user profile property.
I did both of these scenarios above around the same time. I then restarted all my servers, and at last the AD Group security is now functioning appropriately. I have done multiple IIS resets and server restarts. The issue has only reappeared
once. After restarting the machine again, we were back to the AD groups functioning correctly. Because we had the issue reappear once after doing the above, I still do not feel 100% sure that either one of the above corrected the issue completely.
As long as we are up and running currently, I am moving on to other tasks with this project. My only concern that it will break again and I will have to revisit it is when we restart the servers....which is never fun. I will update as I find
a "true" answer to this issue.... Let me know if any of the above helped you or if you find something I may not have thought of.
