SharePoint site logo display issue
Hi all, We have built an extranet on our SharePoint Online however the logo is not being displayed for both internal and guest users. We have other extranet sites up and running which does display the logo. I cannot figure out what i can be. Some ideas or suggestions on what to check would be really helpful 🙂 Thank you.
Restrict Document Library so that only specific folders shared with a user are visible to them
We are migrating from Slack to Teams and need a historical archive of our Slack channel conversations. I have an export of my Slack channels (roughly 4000 public channels and 4000 private channels). Each channel is a separate folder with an .html copy of the conversation history of that channel. I want to create two document libraries on a communication site. One for public channels that will be shared with an org-wide group. I plan to move the 4000 public channel folders into there. This is not ideal because scrolling through the list will be very slow but it is the best solution we can think of for this. We plan to educate on how to search efficiently, or use a CoPilot agent to search. The other document library for private channels we want to also share org-wide. However I want to remove inheritance on each folder. And then assign permissions to the folder based on if you were a member of the equivalent channel in Slack. So for instance, I am a member of 40 Slack channels, so I would be granted access to just those 40 channels in the document library. My goal is that a user can access the main sharepoint page, and access the private channels document library, and only see the specific allotment of folders, rather than all 4000. Is this plan feasible? I know there are issues with list view thresholds and potentially drops in performance. How bad might they be? Am I missing anything that could derail this? And permissions management at the folder level after the fact would normally be a nightmare, however in this instance we plan to make this a locked-in-place historical archive. Users would have read-only permissions, and we will never alter the permissions on the site or libraries or folders ever.
Filter to where I can see items assigned to [Me] but still can see all items in personal view.
Hi, I have a list with public views where a column is filtered for Delegate = [Me]. So this means a user can only see records where user is a "Delegate". All users have contribute access + cannot create, change and delete private views. However, some users have created private views PRIOR to being changed to contribute access only. These private views created PRIOR users can still see all items and edit them. Where I dont want them to be able to. Any work arounds for this? Am I missing something?
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 tony
Errors w/ Microsoft SharePoint Form Lists
I am using Power Automate to send out an email with a MS SharePoint Form List linked but have since tried to have users access another form too, and they are unable to and receive the error attached. They have access to the lists and can add items, but the form is unavailable. Does anyone have any workarounds for this? I am not sure if we just don't have our permissions correct in SharePoint for users, because higher-level permissioned users can successfully access the form associated with the lists.Sensitive documents globally announced to non permitted members
Who decided that exposing what files members were currently working on available organisation wide at any permission level was a good thing? If on a SharePoint Site and you have a member of leadership added their profile into the People widget and then any member including those with the lowest permission were to click on that leadership profile it exposes what "Recent files and email attachments..." that person has been working on. From an HR perspective this is an absolute nightmare to have discovered! A similar issue was found on the home page that again exposes this level of detail which was more obvious and we closed down promptly - seriously Microsoft what were you devs thinking adding this by default!
Connecting SharePoint to Azure
Hi I have a question regarding the following SharePoint Drive on Primary Account My primary account is edwin@getxxx.io. I’m having difficulty attaching a SharePoint drive to this account. This is separate from the OAuth app itself— I simply want to ensure that this account has a SharePoint drive available. Shouldn’t this be possible, and if so, what steps do I need to take to enable it on azure and the SharePoint admin? OAuth Application Account Confusion I created an OAuth application under my edwin@xxx.io account. Strangely, I’m able to connect to it from my other account (edwin@onmicrosoftaccount). I assumed OAuth apps were only accessible within their registered domain. Could you clarify why my other account can access the application, and how account/domain setup should work in this case?Automating Permissions
Question Title: Automating Permissions for New Document Libraries in a SharePoint Hub Site Based on a Templated CSV Description: I have a SharePoint hub site for all our projects. For each new project, I need to create a new document library within this hub site. The challenge I'm facing is that each document library needs a specific, templatized folder and permission structure for different departments. My goal is to find an automated solution that, whenever a new project library through template is created, it automatically applies the correct folder structure and permission levels as defined in my template. Are there any other out-of-the-box SharePoint features or Power Automate that can accomplish this?Sharepoint List Lookup question
Hi I have a Sharepoint list which uses columnn "sfg" as a look up, it then returns "sfglifecycle" for instance. I want to add a calculated column that references uses the figure that's been returned in "sfgLifecycle" and times it by ten, is this possible? if so, how do i go about doing it?SharePoint "Export to Excel" tab missing
Good day to you all! I have a standard sharepoint site, no external solutions or anything like that. The problem I have is that some users, despite having the highest permissions, do not see the "Export to Excel" tab. Can you tell me what could be happening? Best regards!
