Allow creation of guest links for specific users only
Hi, How can I allow the use of guest link only for specific users in an organization? thx
Thank you Juan.
But let us suppose the user is you ( i.e. a super expert, but nevertheless a simple user, not a GA / SPO admin).
My question is : will you be able to change the sharing capability setting of your ODFB SC ?
If yes, how?
Well, as a regular user you won't be able to use SPO cmdlets because they will require you to be at least a SPO Admin... but as a regular user and site collection owner of your OneDrive, you will be able to use Client Side Object Model (CSOM) against your OneDrive...so to answer your question I would have to dig into what CSOM allows to do in regards of sharing capability at the site collection level. If you review this post from a year ago, http://sadomovalex.blogspot.com.es/2015/10/set-sharing-capabilities-of-sharepoint.html, you could change sharing capability using CSOM, but since you need a tenant object you won't be able to do it since you are a simple site collection owner...but, as I said, a deeper dive into CSOM it's required to fully answer to your question
- That's a good summary :-)
I'll try to summarize:
- A GA / SPO admin can change the sharing capability setting of every ODFB SC using PowerShell, despite the fact that he/she is not an SCA for that SC.
- Conversely, a normal user cannot change the sharing capability setting of his/her own ODFB SC using PowerShell, despite the fact that he/she is an SCA for that SC (because he/she is not a GA / SPO admin). Also, he/she cannot use an UI for that purpose, because it doesn't exist. Maybe (not sure), if really a great expert, he/she could use CSOM...
Wow!
Thanks. ;-)
