SharePoint Communication Sites - "Send by email" settings
Hello, In th new communication sites you have that "Send by email" on top of every news/page. Is it possible to control it somehow via the settings? Apparently it is possible to email a news to an External User and we want to avoid that. Even if the external user cannot open the link in the email, they can see a preview of the page/news. Thanks for your feedback, Best regards,
How do I manage permissions for external users?
Hello. We have created a new site collection solely for the purpose of creating sites to share files with external users. This works really well, we have enabled sharing, we share the site using external email addresses, they get the email message and then they can log in. We share files and everything is great. However, I'm struggling to find a way to manage the permissions for these external users. When I go into site permissions, or library permissions, I can only see our internal users listed. There is no sign of any external users. Where are they? How do I change their permissions, or remove them altogether? If I log in to the Office 365 Admin I can see them listed under the users page, so they do exist in our tenant. Thanks, Dave
Get-SPOExternalUser cmdlet throws unknown error
Hi all I am trying to do a report of external user on per-site collection basis. Get-SPOExternaluser cmdlet is working with some site collections in the tenant. But for some other site collections, I get the following unknown error. The external users exist in those site collections. Does anyone have insights into this? Get-SPOExternalUser : Unknown Error At line:1 char:1 + Get-SPOExternalUser -SiteUrl https://tenant.sharepoint.com/teams/O ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Get-SPOExternalUser], ServerException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Unknown Error,Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell.GetSPOExternalUser
SharePoint/Powerapps/MS Flow custom solution - External Users
Looking for feedback from the community. We have a scenario where we need to do performance evaluation for employees. These employees do not have license for SharePoint. We were contemplating creating an application using powerapp/ms flow and SharePoint list. Can these employees can be provided access to these form based application as external user and allow these users to fill the form and then be saved in a folder where only they and their manager can access it. Is this achievable for is there another way to accomplish what we are trying to achieve.
SPFX solution in site collection app catalog - breaks site for external user
SPFX solutions deployed to the site collection scoped app catalog (not the tenant app catalog) do not seem to work for external/guest users. In the case of an application customizer a blank page is displayed (effectively breaking the entire site), and in the case of a webpart the the component is not rendered on the page. The same SPFX solution works for non-external users OR if deployed to the tenant scoped app catalog. This affects modern sites but does not seem to affect modern pages on classic sites. There is a workaround described at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint-Developer/Site-Collection-App-Catalog-External-Users/m-p/149694 to grant external users read access to the tenant scoped app catalog, but this grants external users permissions that we would prefer to avoid. A screenshot of the issue on a modern team site is shown below - note there seems to be an issue returning the HTML for the page as the response is truncated partway through the HTML Head tag: Has anyone else faced this issue and/or is there a resolution for this issue without having to grant external users access to the tenant app catalog?Get-spoexternalUser has Null value for InvitedBy
Hi all Get-spoexternaluser does not always show data of InvitedBy. Sometimes I see the person who invited and sometimes it is null. Does anyone know why? Also the command Get-Spoexternaluser itself does not return anything when I use it with -Filter option or -site Url option to get a list of external users in a site collection. The cmdlet seems very buggy. At tenant level it returns all external users but the url filters are not working properly. I can use Azure AD commands to get external user info, but they don't give any information regarding SP sites. Is there a c# equivalent for Get-SPOExternalUser cmdlet? TIA
