How to prevent SharePoint “Members” from approving documents?
Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue with the Content Approvals Teams feature in a SharePoint document library. I noticed that a user who is only a Member of the SharePoint site was able to approve a document, even though they should not have permissions to do so. The approval went through successfully, which is not the expected behavior. I would like to block site Members from approving documents and ensure that only a designated approver (or a specific approvers group) can approve items. I have already checked the Content Approval settings and Versioning Settings, but I’m not sure what I’m missing in the permissions configuration. My question: What is the correct way to configure the library or site permissions so that Members cannot approve documents? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Can we get more guidance and feedback on the moderation being done on the messages
I have been an active poster on the Excel forum but every so often my posts will just disappear. Sometimes our message will be there but an attachment will be missing. Sometimes messages disappear but then show up hours or days later. Can someone PLEASE give us some insight into what is happening. Is this an auto-moderator or actual person? Either way can we please get a message informing us that our message is being held or rejected and why. How are we supposed to learn if we get no feedback. I don't appreciate spending time re-creating a worksheet (because these new posters aren't even allowed to attach their excel file for us to see) and then create a formula solution, write up how it works and then just have it all disappear. Makes me think Microsoft doesn't really care for me to help. And BTW, can you please revisit the reasoning behind not letting new accounts attach files. Is it a space/size issue? or is it a security issue? if the concern is space/size then make a limit on the file size. Security issue, make a limit on file types. All this tends to do is force members to ask the user to post the file using a file share service like onedrive, but if they use another service it can be a much larger security risk.
Intune remediation scripts, schedule detect scripts
I would like to run a detection script every 180 days. The detection script runs the command dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth. If problems are found, a remediation script should run. The remediation script also runs the command dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth. The problem is that detection scripts are executed every 24 hours. This is too frequent for most of my detect scripts. According to Microsoft: “The Microsoft Intune Management Extension service gets the scripts from Intune and runs them. The scripts are rerun every 24 hours.” And: “When you configure the assignment of a script package, you can define how often the remediation runs using one of the following Schedule options.” Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/intune-service/fundamentals/remediations When I check Monitor → Device Status, the oldest Last run timestamps are only two days old. When I check IntuneManagementExtension.log or AgentExecutor.log, I can see that the same detection scripts have been executed multiple times within the last 24 hours. My schedule is set to Daily, with an interval of Repeats every 180 days. I originally thought this would cause the detection script to run every 180 days, but even Copilot insists that this setting only limits how often the remediation script is allowed to run. I don't understand the logic behind this. Why not set the interval for a detect script and then run a remediation script? Why run the detect script every 24 hours and then skip the remediation script is it's run past 180 days?Optimizing Web Applications
Hi Community, I’m working on a web app that allows users to check their SASSA grant status. As we know, there can often be delays in SASSA payments, and we're focused on building an app that ensures a seamless experience even during those times. We're prioritizing high performance and security to handle large amounts of traffic, especially during peak periods when these payment delays are more common. I’d love to hear from others with experience in building similar public service portals: What strategies can you recommend for scaling web apps to handle high traffic volumes efficiently? How can we ensure data security and protect sensitive user information, especially when dealing with government services? Looking forward to your insights!

Watermarks are not visible in WOPI edit mode.
Hi everyone, I’m currently working with a WOPI-integrated document and noticed something that doesn’t align with expected behavior. When the document is opened in edit mode, the watermark is not visible. However, it does appear correctly in reading mode and is also present when the document is exported to PDF. From a document control and review standpoint, the watermark should ideally remain visible during editing as well, especially if it conveys important information like confidentiality or draft status. Has anyone else encountered this limitation or behavior with WOPI integrations? Is this by design (for example, due to how the editor layer renders content), or could it be influenced by specific configuration settings, document formats, or the WOPI host implementation? Any insights, workarounds, or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.Before you post - No Product Support Questions Please

Seeing some confusion about how to get to the right page for a Community where you can start a new discussion. e.g. Where / How to find "Ask a question" | Microsoft Community Hub Office outlook 365 .. where are emails saved? | Microsoft Community Hub I have to admit that it is not clear to me what the difference between these links is. Community Lounge | Microsoft Community Hub Tech Community Discussion | Microsoft Community Hub Why only one has "Start a discussion"? Why does a Web Search tend to land me on the one that doesn't have "Start a discussion"? Why the "Discussion Spaces" button on the one with no "Start a discussion" doesn't make "Start a discussion" appear or take me to the URL that does have "Start a discussion"?
DA_CICap_ST_SDF agent in Copilt?
Has anyone seen this agent show up in Copilot? It looks like a test but if you aske it what it is or who created it, it says it was created by Microsoft but in the agent itself it says created by Test_Test_New1. If it's microsoft developers pushing a test out, it looks sketchy as hell.
Question About Events, Azure, Copilot and Microsoft widgets
Hello! I am overly enthusiastic to learn more about this company, and I saw three events I'd like to attend in person as I cannot do anything online, I apologize. Does anyone know if there really is this Microsoft event on March 6th in Redmond? If not where is it as It is not coming up on the list or I cannot find it. I searched for azure events and about three came up, but after I scroll and the mouse timer comes up, nothing appears, is anyone interested in describing more about azure technology to me and how it works? I'll never tell! My last question is there is an event bsides seattle, I'm so confused is it at a hotel and how do you register because it's not listed on this platform. I wish I could do the online events like this was training, but it's better to do things in person always because it's more authentic. I tagged this as avatar, if you do not know anything about me just my love of tech what would my avatar be?

Proposal for Reviving Windows Mobile in 2026
Dear Microsoft Windows Team, I am writing as a passionate supporter of the Windows Mobile experience, especially the fluidity and innovation seen in Windows 10 Mobile. I believe there is a strong opportunity to revive Windows Mobile in 2026 with a compact, affordable, and well-equipped device that can serve middle-class users globally. The concept I envision includes: - A compact form factor (6 to 6.2 inches) for comfortable one-handed use. - Floating apps and lock-screen widgets that feel alive and interactive. - Seamless integration with Windows PCs, Xbox, and Surface devices. - Android app compatibility to eliminate ecosystem limitations. - AI-powered features like Copilot for productivity and assistance. - Economic pricing to ensure accessibility for middle-class users. The enthusiasm for such a device remains strong, and I truly hope Microsoft considers this vision. It would not only honor the legacy of Windows Mobile but also redefine mobile computing for the future. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Dillip
