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?

Change in SharePoint File Selection Behaviour
Has anyone noticed this in the last week/s? Basically before, you used to be able to SELECT files without opening them. Now, 5-6 times out of ten, if I try to select a document or folder it opens instead. Like, even when i am clearly clicking the checkmark to the left of the file/folder, it will STILL OPEN in the browser, rather than just selecting. It's like the file open behaviour has gotten more sensitive or something? It's really frustrating because my users need to add metadata to documents by selecting them, and now they have to fight with SharePoint nearly every time.Indexing Ideas Needed - Parts I.D. Order in Libraries : Ex.) Parts R1 thru R10, R2...
GOAL: To resolve the subject line issue that is intensive and eliminates the following workaround. WORKAROUND A sequential number in a separate index number is formatted as a "Number". Many times I must export the library and add the number in MS Excel and paste these back into the library's index number column. IDEAS ON RESOLUTION Your thoughts on how to properly index the part I.D.s without a separate index number column are welcome including: Alternative formatting to apply to the alphanumeric Part I.D. description in the Part I.D. column to promote correct indexing Any programmed solutions Best regards, Clint Hill
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.
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.
Cannot check in multiple files in Modern Experience
We have upgraded our libraries to the Modern Experience interface, but have discovered that we can now only check in files one at a time. Very often, we find ourselves needing to check in multiple files. We are needing to revert to Classic View because of this. Is this a bug / oversight that can be reinstated in the Modern View?
Unable to add new Managed Metadata tag to Library items
I have SharePoint Admin permissions. There is a field I'm using called 'Publisher', which is open, yet doesn't allow us to add any new term. The setup looks like this: Within the Global term store: https://<domain>-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/online/AdminHome.aspx?modern=true#/termStoreAdminCenter - Term group -- Term set (Publisher) (Submission policy - Open policy: Users can add terms from a tagging application.) --- Adidas --- Reebok --- Nike Within the Site term store: https://<domain>.sharepoint.com/sites/<Site>/_layouts/15/SiteAdmin.aspx#/termStoreAdminCenter there are no term groups visible. In the Site Documents library: Content types are enabled. I have a Publisher column, associated with most of our content types. There's a default publisher, "Our company". The column settings include "Allow users to type new values". The Issue Regardless of whether I edit in grid view, or in the Details pane, once I click enter, or exit the field, or in the tag menu, the new publisher doesn't save. Users cannot enter a new publisher term. Debugging I have tried toggling term store settings (closed/open). I've tried toggling the "Require that this column contains information" (since it works for similar issue people commonly have with the 'Description' column).
Disable presence in SharePoint Online file viewer - anyone got Roadmap ID419814 working?
Hi All - Happy September! We publish sensitive internal content (e.g., salary scales) in SharePoint Online for easy, up-to-date access. The issue: when hundreds of colleagues open the read-only Word/Excel files, they can see each other’s presence and live cursors. This also happens on externally shared links, exposing colleague names. Naturally our HR SLT are concerned about this behaviour. Workarounds tried We created read-only variants of the Word/Excel files, which initially suppressed presence indicators. However, we’re now seeing the unwanted presence behaviour again on those read-only files. This seems to have changed in the past few days. We saw Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 419814 (“Disable presence in the file viewer”) referenced last year, which sounded like exactly what we need. Unfortunately, we’ve not been able to make this work in testing, and our configuration options seem limited. The SPO code we used was: Set-SPOSite -Identity https://tenant.com/sites/sitename -HidePeoplePreviewingFiles $true Ask to the community Has anyone actually received this feature and confirmed it works at tenant/site level? If yes, how are you enabling it (SharePoint Admin Centre setting, PowerShell, PNP, policy, or feature flag)? Does it reliably suppress both presence rings and live cursors for: internal viewers with view-only permissions; and externally shared links (including cases where the viewer is authenticated as a guest vs. anonymous)? Are there any link type or site sharing policy dependencies (e.g., “People in your organisation” vs. “Anyone with the link”) that change the behaviour? Any browser/client caveats you’ve seen (Word/Excel for the web vs. desktop, mobile, or embedded viewers)? If roadmap ID419814 isn’t viable, what sustainable alternatives have you used that don’t force us into static, less accessible PDFs? We’d really like to avoid pushing users to download static PDFs for accessibility, versioning and user experience reasons. Ideally, we want: If anyone has got this working, I’d really appreciate a short call or DM to compare notes and replicate your setup. Many thanks tonyStuck asset Library - unable to remove
