The best Microsoft solution to deliver a client portal?
Hi all. I'm trying to work out the best solution from the Microsoft suite to create a client portal. Somewhere simple to share documents and ideally collaborate. Yes, Teams and SharePoint have that functionality, but they largely have to be setup manually for each client, either adding relevant users as Guests, creating shares, or setting up Azure B2B Direct Connect with each client individually. Does anyone know of any Microsoft product which provides 'proper' client portal functionality - perhaps one of the Dynamics 365 products?Set historic calendar entries for a specific user to private
Hi all. To improve engagement and to make organising meetings easier, I'd like to automatically set everyone's calendar so that everyone else in the organisation can see the title & location of appointments / meetings. For this I'm going to use the following Exchange Online PowerShell script: Get-Mailbox | ForEach-Object {Set-MailboxFolderPermission $_”:\calendar” -User Default -AccessRights LimitedDetails} However, before I do this, I'd like to offer individuals who have a lot of sensitive meetings (e.g. HR, Finance, Exec's) the option to set all their historic calendar entries to Private (so only invitees would be able to see any details). Is it possible to do this with PowerShell please? It's easy to set their whole calendar to Private, but I'd just like to set historic calendar entries with this tag. Hope you can help, and thank you.Re: Preset policies have suddenly started notifying users of quarantined messages

Hi Joe. I blogged on this a while back as shared channels are massively helpful, but there's a few important considerations - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/private-shared-channels-teams-oz-oscroft/. You can then refer to the help documentation for background and how to create them: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/shared-channels. The key consideration is that both parties need to allow access so you'll need to work with the other tenant's IT administrators for shared channels work with external users.Re: Adding Private Booking in Book With Me- Links redirect to public booking page.
I'm experiencing the same. Several people appear to have raised a ticket with Microsoft already, and I've posted it on the Microsoft Feedback Portal - please upvote to get it noticed by Microsoft: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/4367742b-f39b-ed11-a81b-000d3a0450e3Re: Unable to share externally on Shared Channels
Hi . After much confusion and lots of research, I now get where this is coming from and have it working well across multiple tenants. I wrote a short blog on the subject a while back which may help: Private and Shared Channels in Teams | LinkedIn. You basically need to ensure external sharing is turned on for the Teams' SharePoint site BEFORE creating any shared channels (if you created shared channels whilst external sharing was turned off you'll need to re-create the shared channels unfortunately). If external sharing is turned on, you then 'simply' need to configure Azure AD B2B Direct Connect in any tenants whose users need to access a shared channel. This takes 3 minutes and can be done by tenant admins - I usually just jump on a call with the other tenant admins and we set it up together using the following instructions: Collaborate with external participants in a shared channel | Microsoft Docs I get why it's built this way, as opposed to external or Guest access where everything is within your own control. With shared channels they effectively sit within both tenants so for security reasons both tenants have to unlock the door. I hope this helps and you can get the benefits of shared channels soon as they really can transform how organisations can more easily collaborate.

Awesome work thanks jasenpeters ! This has really helped me present some information which didn't need to be stored. Here's what I've found along the way: If referencing lookup columns in the JSON, those other columns need to be visible in the view. Getting the syntax correct for lookup column names can be tricky, especially if they include a space. An example might be 'Company: Address Details'. To find the reference to use: Go to the List settings Click on the column you wish to reference in the JSON (making sure the column is showing in the view) Go to the end of the URL and copy the bit after '&Field='. In the example above, this is 'Company_x003a_Address_x0020_Det' You can include line breaks in the JSON code using: + '\n' + Hope this helps others too.
