Export list of users with unique permissions
Hello community, The context: We have a document library with 30 000 items. We broke inheritance and set up special permissions for some of them. Now we have about 30 items with special permissions that can be listed in Sharepoint Online. See the picture below. What we want: We want to get list of user on each item now. How can we do that? The output should look like this item1 - user 1 item1 - user 2 item1 - user 3 item1 - group 1 item1 - group 2 item 2 - user 1 item 2 - user 5 ... The idea We will write powershell script But can we identify items with special permissions the same way Sharepoint does it in the picture? How? How to use the API correctly because we cannot list each item (30k) in Sharepoint for performace reasons right? Related topics maybe?

Not able to use "(" - opening bracket in SharePoint Online Webpart
I have an SPO site where I am creating multiple pages. Every single page prevents me from typing an opening/left parenthesis. I can type a closing parenthesis no problem. I've cleared my cache and restarted. It began recently - probably around the same time as the update where a closing parenthesis/quotation appears when you type an opening one.SharePoint Designer 2013 is deprecated
I am not sure that this topic has been discussed before. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/what-s-new/what-s-deprecated-or-removed-from-sharepoint-server-subscription-edition According to this page the, July 14, 2026 after that date, SharePoint Designer 2013 will no longer be supported. But it looks like we still can create a publish workflows? Does any body have suggestion for 3. Parties’ solution for that. Did checked Nintex K2 and its very expensive. We just have 10 workflows send email with content in body. And one approval workflow. Any solution i can create with SPFX or in SP to have this opportunity to create WF. I know about VS but there are not that simple.
Making a FAQ using lists need help with json formatting colors
So I was following a tutorial on Youtube on how to make a FAQ list but I cant get the formatting right. There are 4 columns in this list Title, Question, Answer, Show More Basically I have it grouped by title and then grouped by question The problem is the as you can see in the screenshot below the title and question are all the same color I want them to be a different color. I have also attached the JSON I am using in formatting below. But basically I need help figuring out how to make the title in this case documentation different from the questions. { "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/row-formatting.schema.json", "schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/row-formatting.schema.json", "hideSelection": true, "hideColumnHeader": true, "hideListHeader": true, "groupProps": { "headerFormatter": { "elmType": "div", "attributes": { "class": "sp-row-card" }, "style": { "color": "#333333", "background-color": "#F7F7F7", "flex-grow": "1", "display": "flex", "flex-direction": "row", "box-sizing": "border-box", "padding": "8px 12px", "border-radius": "6px", "align-items": "center", "flex-wrap": "nowrap", "overflow": "hidden", "margin": "4px 6px 6px 4px", "min-width": "max-content", "box-shadow": "0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)" }, "children": [ { "elmType": "img", "style": { "max-width": "28px", "max-height": "28px", "margin-top": "0", "border-radius": "3px", "margin-right": "12px" } }, { "elmType": "div", "children": [ { "elmType": "span", "style": { "padding": "4px 6px", "font-weight": "600", "font-size": "16px", "color": "#B31B24" }, "txtContent": "@group.fieldData.displayValue" } ] }, { "elmType": "div", "style": { "flex-grow": "1" }, "children": [ { "elmType": "div", "style": { "display": "flex", "flex-direction": "column", "justify-content": "center" } } ] } ] } }, "rowFormatter": { "elmType": "div", "attributes": { "class": "sp-row-pwc-bg" }, "style": { "display": "flex", "justify-content": "flex-start", "color": "#222222", "padding": "8px 16px", "border-radius": "6px", "max-width": "920px", "margin": "6px 8px 8px 60px", "background-color": "#FFFFFF", "box-shadow": "0 1px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.08)", "align-items": "center", "flex-direction": "column" }, "children": [ { "elmType": "div", "style": { "text-align": "left", "font-weight": "600", "font-size": "16px", "color": "#E4002B", "user-select": "none" }, "txtContent": "" }, { "elmType": "div", "style": { "margin-top": "8px", "font-weight": "400", "font-size": "14px", "color": "#5A5A5A", "white-space": "pre-wrap" }, "txtContent": "[$Answer]" }, { "elmType": "button", "customRowAction": { "action": "defaultClick" }, "txtContent": "Show more", "attributes": { "class": "sp-row-button" }, "style": { "display": "=if([$ShowMore] == 'Yes', 'inline-block', 'none')", "margin-top": "10px", "color": "#FFFFFF", "background-color": "#E4002B", "border": "none", "padding": "6px 16px", "border-radius": "4px", "cursor": "pointer", "font-weight": "600", "font-size": "14px", "text-align": "center", "box-shadow": "0 2px 6px rgba(228,0,43,0.3)" } } ] } }
Tables in Word Docs Stored on SharePoint Breaking
Custom Table Styles are breaking in Word documents stored on SharePoint. This started a week ago after a recent Office update. A solution of having only one person editing the document at a time defeats the purpose of SharePoint collaboration. Always editing in the desktop app is not a reliable solution either; not all tools are available in the browser. Tables break and fix themselves without intervention - sometimes in the desktop app and sometimes in the browser. Any insight is appreciated.
Developer dashboard says “You don’t currently qualify” – please enable E5 sandbox
Hi Microsoft team, I joined the Microsoft 365 Developer Program today with a personal Microsoft account from Austria. My profile page is now accessible, but my dashboard still says: “You don’t currently qualify for a Microsoft 365 Developer Program sandbox subscription.” Could you please manually enable my Microsoft 365 E5 sandbox tenant so I can start testing? Thank you very much for your help! Tino
To hide the file preview section in a SharePoint Document library gallery card with JSON
Hello All, I have a SharePoint document library and I created a gallery view for it. I displayed several columns/metadata on the gallery view. I want to disable/hide the file preview section in this card. I believe this can easily be done by changing some code in JSON at the Format view Advanced. However, I don't know how to do it. I hope there is someone, in this form, could be able to help me. Thanks in advanced.PNP Search Results sort by title

CSOM: My “one query to rule them all” plan backfired — got “Request uses too many resources” 😅
Hey folks, So I’ve been playing around with CSOM (Client-Side Object Model), feeling fancy about making one super-efficient query that loads everything I need at once. Something like this: clientContext.Load( clientContext.Web, w => w.SiteUsers.Include(...), w => w.Lists.Include(...), w => w.SiteGroups.Include(...) ); Basically, my thought was: “Why make multiple calls when I can just get everything in one go?” But CSOM had other plans. Instead of being impressed, it hit me with the dreaded: "Request uses too many resources." Even when I tried to be nice and limit the properties, it still said “Nope.” 🙃 So now I’m wondering: Is it actually more efficient (and safer) to create a new ClientContext for each object I want to query (like Web, SiteUsers, Lists, etc.)? Or am I just thinking about this the wrong way and missing some batching trick? Would love to hear how others handle this — or if there’s a secret sauce to making CSOM not freak out when you ask for too much.CSOM batch request: “Request uses too many resources” when loading multiple sites with GetSiteByUrl
I’m currently exploring CSOM (Client-Side Object Model) and analyzing how property values for client objects such as Web and Site are requested and returned in XML format. I used Fiddler to inspect the request and response bodies. I’m now trying to implement a batch-based query where I load multiple sites with a limited set of properties using the GetSiteByUrl method. However, I’m running into this issue: When I load 10 sites, I get the error: “Request uses too many resources.” When I reduce the number to 8 sites, it works fine. I also compared the bytes sent and bytes received for different batch sizes (screenshot attached). So my question is: Is there a specific limitation on the total request size (bytes sent/received) or number of operations in a single CSOM batch request? If yes, is there any official documentation or guidance on how to determine these limits? Thanks in advance!
Disable ready-made agents with Sharepoint Agents
Is there any way of disabling ready-made agents when using pay as you go with sharepoint agents. I want to restrict these ready-made agents in the sharepoint sites of my organization and deploy Copilot Studio agents in sharepoint for some sites. Is any way of achieving this without making use of copilot licenses? There is a way using "Restricted content discovery" but this needs at least one copilot license and this feature I think that disables the use of that sharepoint site as knowledge source for future copilot studio agents while it is active.Active Site Usage Not Matching Storage Used?
At my new position our SharePoint storage is getting used quickly. As of right now we have 69GB available of 11.75TB. When look at the active sites the total Storage Used only adds up to 2TB. Where is the other 8.75TB coming from? Version history was changed to 100 major versions and to delete versions after 1 year. Is it possible that the versions still being retained could add up to 8.75TB? I archived a site that was 13GB but it's still showing 69GB available. How long does it take to reclaim that storage?SharePoint Missing Authentication for _vti_bin
The issue with the vti_bin folder is that it is accessible without authentication. However, the remediation measures outlined below are not technically feasible for SharePoint Online (O365). I found few remediations for this issue which are as follows: Configuration Options: Administrators can configure authentication for _vti_bin through various methods, such as: Enabling anonymous access:This allows anyone to access the site and its resources, including _vti_bin URLs, without logging in. Restricting access in Web.config:The Web.config file can be modified to deny access to anonymous users for specific _vti_bin paths. Using the ViewFormPagesLockDown feature:This feature can help restrict access to certain SharePoint resources, including those within _vti_bin The below links are for reference: https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/Roji.Joy/how-to-secure-external-anonymous-access-to-sharepoint-2010-sites/#:~:text=Even%20when%20lockdown%20mode%20is, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/fabdulwahab/security-protecting-sharepoint-server-applications https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/167264/restricting-access-to-contents-in-vti-bin-for-both-authenticated-as-well-as-a I would like to verify whether the provided fixes are applicable to O365 SharePoint. If they are not, could you please advise on alternative solutions that can be implemented to mitigate this issue?Box as an Alternative to SharePoint/OneDrive
We’ve been running into ongoing performance and sync issues with SharePoint/OneDrive, mainly due to the size of our project libraries and the number of users syncing across multiple devices. Just one of our document library alone has hundreds of thousands of files, and it’s starting to cause major slowdowns especially for remote staff. We’re looking to understand if Box might be a more stable or scalable alternative for managing large file structures. To be clear, I’m not looking to be contacted by sales reps or companies. I’m only interested in hearing from actual users who are currently using OneDrive/SharePoint or Box for file management and collaboration. Would like to hear how it’s working for your organization, what’s gone well, and what hasn’t.Clarification on StorageQuota and BonusStorageQuotaMb in SharePoint Online (CSOM / PowerShell)
I’ve been using CSOM and the Get-SPOTenant PowerShell cmdlet to retrieve storage-related data for my SharePoint Online tenant. I noticed that the StorageQuota property accurately reflects the total storage available. However, I plan to purchase additional SharePoint Online storage and would like to clarify: Will the newly purchased additional storage be included in the value returned by the StorageQuota property? I also came across another property called BonusStorageQuotaMB which does not have any documention and seems like new one too— could someone please explain its purpose and how it differs from StorageQuota? Understanding how these properties behave is important for me to monitor and report tenant storage accurately. Thanks in advance for your insights!Clarification on StorageQuota and BonusStorageQuotaMb in SharePoint Online (CSOM / PowerShell)

Dear all, we plan to document our projects on project specific SharePoint sites with risks, decisions, changes, scope statements and status reports in dedicated lists. The idea is to also cross-reference those items, i.e. for example a weekly status report (documented as a row in the list) could reference multiple decisions, risks or changes (rows from the other lists) via lookup columns. In addition to this setup, we want to be able to report via Power BI / Power Query in Power BI Service on the data documented in the project specific SharePoint sites and their lists. Now we are facing several challenges in this setup: dynamic data sources the number of projects, and hence the number of SharePoint sites and their lists are dynamic and need to be queried using functions, to circumvent the dynamic data source problem in Power BI service, e.g. Web.Contents() with option RelativePath extraction of multi-select references using SharePoint.Tables() gives the IDs of the referenced items in the other list, but this method cannot be modified with option RelativePath to circumvent dynamic data sources issue Web.Content() is able to use RelativePath option, however output for multi-select relationships doesn't seem to be complete getting identifiers for resolving references across different list one option we identified is combination of List.Id property (GUID) and ListItem.Id (int32), however here we are not sure if these are unique identifiers another option would be the field UniqueID {32-bit Hex} coming via SharePoint Search api call data privacy levels/combination of different data sources for resolving the relations between list (and related query output) lists would need to be referenced, which is not working in the Power BI service across different queries However we think, that we can circumvent that by doing the/resolving the relations via DAX So all in all i tried to combine several approaches to adress these requirements and also restrictions, however i am not sure anymore if the above outlined approach would be feasible at all. I hope that my description is not to confuse; in case anything is unclear or should be outlined in more detail please let me know. Did anybody else try to address such requirements and succeeded? Looking forward to any input for feedback :) Kind regards PetterHow to prevent overnight events from appearing in the "All Day" section in Lists calendar view?
Purpose I am trying to create a reservation calendar for an equipment using the calendar view in Microsoft Lists on MS Teams. Each work session lasts from several hours to several tens hours, with most sessions typically around ten to fifteen hours. What I’ve done I created a calendar view using Microsoft Lists via SharePoint and added several events. The calendar is mainly used in weekly view. Issue Events that span overnight or last more than 24 hours are displayed in the "All Day" section at the top of the calendar, rather than as vertical blocks in the main time grid. Since the purpose of this calendar is to manage equipment usage, it is not ideal that actual usage times are shown as "All Day" events and not in the time-based section of the calendar. QuestionIs there a way to adjust the formatting or settings so that all events are displayed in the main time grid, rather than in the "All Day" section? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
