1874 Topicsuser needs edit permission to load js files in Site Assets directory
We have a classical Sharepoint site whose form is custom built with content link in content editor webpart in a page. When the page loads, it needs to load the css, js files in Site Assets directory to render the page. Users were able to get the page loaded fully with read permission until last Sunday night. Now we have to give users edit permission to Site Assets to load page successfully. At console log, we can see with edit permission, all required files are loaded while with read permission, no log of required files but no error. Could someone advise what might happen to cause this? How can we remediate this? Thanks a lot in advance.4Views0likes0CommentsExternal Users Blocked from Downloading Files – Conditional Access Policy Stuck or Misbehaving?...
We recently updated and added several Conditional Access policies, including one that blocks downloading, printing, and syncing from unmanaged devices. This policy was initially tested with a small group of 2-3 users. However, we noticed that when employees share an external link, external recipients can log in but cannot download files. They see a yellow banner stating that "downloading, printing, or syncing is blocked etc." We have since disabled related Conditional Access policies and waited the required 24 hours for changes to take effect. Additionally, Microsoft Support has been involved for three days but has not yet resolved the issue. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm hoping someone could shed some light on this as I'm a bit baffled as to why this is happening. We have an external user who was invited to 2 of our sites. She received the access invites via email and was able to log on and access the sites perfectly. A week after, her access seems to be not working. We removed the account from both sites and even deleted the guest account that was created. We re-invited her to the sites, it shows her user name on the groups within the site and she even got an email confirming the admin has accepted her request but she's still unable to access the site at all. It still says she has no permission but her account name is shown on the site. We're not too sure what else we could possibly do as deleting and re-inviting her is not working either. Thanks.Solved21KViews0likes12CommentsAccess to hidden files
Hello, I have an excel database that links to a sharepoint site via a number of macros. With the workbook attached to the site - I'd like to hide all of the various libraries from the users so they will just see the home screen - while obviously allowing the macros to still access and display the various files. Essentially I need to give them read access without being able to view the library from sharepoint. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate the feedback. Thanks, Anthony8Views0likes0CommentsRemove Site Owner from SharePoint Site sub-folders.
Hi My company used to have a file server where we created folders for the different departments, IT, Finance etc. We created security groups and gave full access to these groups to their department folder and added all the staff from that department to the security group - giving them full access to all sub-folders in the department folder. We then had the option to create sub-folders in the department folders for specific users, like if some of the team worked on a specific project, we could give only those users access to that project folder that was in their main department folder. We would remove inheritance from the parent folder and control access this way individually. Since moving to SharePoint a few years ago, we set up SharePoint Sites, SharePoint-IT, SharePoint-Finance etc. and moved all data from the file server folders to these sites. All users now became Owners to their SharePoint Site, and so had access to all folders, even the ones they did not before, which was okay. We would now like to start doing the same as what we did with the file server, create a folder in a departments' Site and remove access to all Site owners and then give individual users access to that sub-folder. From what I can see, and have read, Site Owners will always have access to all folders and inheritance cannot be broken or removed? Is this still correct and is there any way to get past this? How would I give access to a manager who might want to save a private department related document to the SharePoint Site and restrict access to the rest or some of their team. We do not want to use OneDrive for these situations, we would like to keep all department related documents and files in the relevant department Sites.35Views0likes2CommentsAllow users to share files with colleagues without approval request
Hey, I have this Sharepoint library that has a very limited access; only a few people in my company have access to it. In addition to these people specific file accesses are given to specific users based on the following scenario: Files are "uploaded" to this Library through a Microsoft form: there is a flow in place that will copy the file uploaded through the Form and place it into the Library. The flow will grant Read access to the file for the user who made the upload. These users will only have access to the files they have uploaded. Now it happens that these extra users might want to share the file they have access to to some colleagues. Right now, they can do it but it sends a access request to the administrator of the site... Is there a way to let these users share those files without sending a request? If that is not possible, is there a way to have these requests sent to the Library owners/administrators instead of the site admin?19Views0likes2CommentsWhich permission is the one allowing users to share a document without sending an access request?
Hey I have currently given users a read access to certain documents through a powerautomate flow. However when a use that has this read access wants to share a doc with another user it triggers a request access to the site owners. What is the permission that I need to check for these users to be able to share documents without sending a sharing request.4Views0likes0CommentsSharePoint Home page using Chrome Browser keep requesting for credential.
Each time I launch Chrome Browser to access my SharePoint Default Home page, It prompt for credentials. Once i close the browser and launch it again, the same popups. Edge browser works fine... Action already taken..... 1. I have added the SharePoint URL to Chrome trusted site. 2. I have allowed cookies for SharePoint in the browser This is really frustrating. Any Help will be much appreciated. Chrome Browser shouldn't request for my credentials again because I have already done that. Thank you Andrew20KViews0likes6CommentsSharePoint 'sites' API Doesn't Return All Sites
I'm new to SharePoint, so bear with me. I have 100+ users, all of whom have been given access to a SharePoint site called 'NetSuite BluDocs' through a group called 'NetSuite BluDocs Members' which has 'Edit' permissions. A third-party NetSuite app called 'bluDocs' (that I don't control) runs in NetSuite and will display folders and files for projects. Users have to authenticate with SharePoint the first time they open the bluDocs list in NetSuite. A 'refresh_token' returned by SharePoint is stored in NetSuite, which is then used for authentication whenever the NetSuite user wants to view folders and files. Every user can go directly to SharePoint and find any folder/file they want since they all belong to the 'NetSuite BluDocs Members' group. However, there are 7 users for whom the bluDocs in NetSuite don't display. The reason is that the 'sites' API is not returning the 'NetSuite BluDocs' site infoeven though it's returning other sites the user has access to. I've had users reauthenticate bluDocs several times without success. If I copy the refresh_token from a user who is working properly in NetSuite and paste it into the refresh_token for a user who can't see the bluDocs in NetSuite, the usercan see the bluDocs, but anything they upload is shown as belonging to the user whose token I copied. I don't know how permissions are stored in SharePoint, but it looks like some user refresh_tokens aren't being linked to the 'NetSuite BluDocs' site – or the opposite; 'NetSuite BluDocs' isn't being linked to the refresh_token. Given that all 7 affected users can go directly to SharePoint and see all folders and files, why isn't the 'sites' API returning 'NetSuite BluDocs' in the list of sites the user is assigned to?85Views0likes0Comments
