SharePoint permission change notifications not working
Problem: Trying to get Microsoft Graph change notifications when permissions change on SharePoint/OneDrive drive items (sharing, inheritance breaks, access grants/revocations). Using Prefer: includesecuritywebhooks on subscription creation as documented subscription creates successfully, but the header appears to be silently ignored (notificationQueryOptions is always null in response, Preference-Applied header is always empty). What works: Regular content change notifications fire fine. What doesn't: Zero security notifications on any permission change. Subscription request: POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/subscriptions Prefer: includesecuritywebhooks { "changeType": "updated", "notificationUrl": "https://...", "resource": "drives/{driveId}/root", "expirationDateTime": "2026-06-12T00:00:00Z" } Permissions (all with admin consent): Files.Read.All, Files.ReadWrite.All, Sites.Read.All, Sites.FullControl.All, Directory.Read.All Already tried: Both v1.0 and /beta endpoints same result Every relevant permission combination But the official document says it should work: Link to documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/rest-api/concepts/scan-guidance?view=odsp-graph-online#receiving-webhook-notifications-for-security-events Any working example or confirmation of current status would be extremely helpful. Happy to share more details or test specific configurations.
OneDrive site locked NoAccess for 1 month - Ticket #2605040040008376 - No resolution
I have an open Microsoft support ticket for over 1 month with no resolution. Hoping the community or a Microsoft engineer can help. SITUATION: A departed user (deleted over a year ago) had a OneDrive site that was accessible to other users until recently. Since then the site is completely inaccessible to everyone including admins. Current Status: Active LockState: NoAccess WHAT WE TRIED: - Set-SPOSite -LockState Unlock → command succeeds but site stays blocked - Set-SPOUser -IsSiteCollectionAdmin $true → fails with "Access to this Web site has been blocked" - User does not exist in Entra ID, Deleted Users, or Deleted Sites ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFIED: Site was under a 5-year retention policy in Microsoft Purview. Policy showed error "SiteInReadonlyOrNotAccessible" for this OneDrive. We removed the OneDrive from the policy exceptions but the site remains locked. This appears to be a deadlock: - Site is locked so retention policy cannot detach - Retention policy prevents site from being unlocked No eDiscovery holds found on the site. Microsoft support has been unable to resolve this for 1 month. Does anyone know how to break this deadlock?
SharePoint Template Gallery
Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue with the new SharePoint site page template gallery. Some of my templates are showing up consistently, while others appear intermittently — even though all the metadata is identical across them. I've been troubleshooting but can't pinpoint what's causing the inconsistency. For context: I have over 100 templates in the gallery. A template I just created is displaying fine, but one I made last week isn't showing up at all, so I don't think it's a template count issue. Any insights would be really appreciated!
Modern Employee Directory
Hi Team I’ve built a Modern Employee Directory web part and would really appreciate your feedback and suggestions for new features. It’s an open-source project. Feel free to share your thoughts in the GitHub Discussions section. If anyone is interested in collaborating, you’re more than welcome to join and contribute. https://www.wrvishnu.com/modern-employee-directory-sharepoint/I don't want 100 different SharePoint sites. How to create private teams w/o a new site?
Guys. WTF. I've inherited a problem where a company of 50 people has 100 sharepoint sites - because users created different Teams for different projects, and Microsoft makes it incredibly opaque what this actually means. Now we have 100 SharePoint sites, many of which are unused, but all of which appear in the list of sites in 365AC. The structure we WANT is 1 Sharepoint site for our 1 org, but multiple locations within that site, and multiple groups for multiple projects. I THOUGHT what could work was converting the excess Teams into Private Channels. But I have now learned that private channels ALSO create SharePoint sites, because _______. Most confusingly, all of these sharepoint 'sites' DO exist within our main SharePoint website - they're just pages (but not 'pages') pretending to be a fresh sharepoint website. This confuses the **** out of people, the way they've redefined what a 'site' is, what a 'team' is, etc. This is genuinely hot garbage, and it's suddenly clear to me why people always push back on using SharePoint over OneDrive. Recommendations for... not having this disaster? Making a structure that is intuitive and doesn't redefine what a site and page are, and allows you to have private locations for management or projects, but DOESN'T create a 'site' within the main 'site', with it's OWN 'documents', and it's own 'Notebook' (which isn't a document) and it's own 'Conversations' (which are NOT conversations), and it's own 'pages'? I don't work with dumb people - these are very technical people. But even our main SharePoint guy is mystified by these interactions. Does it make more sense in another language? If anyone at Microsoft is reading - the english term 'site', comes from the word 'website', which generally refers to a distinct web service with a distinct domain name. These contained different webPAGES.. When websites started existing off a shared domain name, like company1.sharepoint.com and company2.sharepoint.com - this confused people, but they put up with it, because it was relatively easy to explain the tech behind this - having websites under a single site, that wasn't too hard to understand. But what SharePoint seems to do, is extend this practice into absolute hysteria, where a particular webPAGE of a webSITE is ALSO a site, but also is a TEAM, or COULD be a CHANNEL. OR it could be a PAGE - WHO knows? If it's a TEAM, that TEAM could have CONVERSATIONS, which aren't actually Team Conversations - they're EMAILS. But this is fine, because all CONVERSATIONS of a TEAM done in TEAMS are actually stored as EMAILS so really those, CONVERSATIONS should be CONVERSATIONS... So why aren't these conversations in Teams between a Team that are stored as Emails not showing in the Conversations which show emails within that Team? aefggaddadsfasd
pnp-modern-search does not work in the local SharePoint workbench
Version used 4.9.0 (SPFx 1.15.0) Describe the bug The solution works correctly when deployed using the .sppkg package in SharePoint Online, but it does not work in the local SharePoint workbench. There are two related issues: When running gulp serve, the build/runtime reports an error related to microsoft/sp-webpart-workbench/lib/api/, suggesting a failure in loading or resolving the local workbench API module. When adding the web part to the local workbench page, the web part fails to render with the following error: Error: Cannot find module './15.js' The second error appears to be related to a missing or incorrectly resolved chunk/module during bundle loading. The issue only occurs in the local workbench. The deployed .sppkg solution in SharePoint Online works correctly. Node.js version: 16.8.0 (compatible with SPFx 1.15.0). Dependencies installed via npm install without errors. To Reproduce Clone the repository Run npm install Run gulp serve Open the local SharePoint workbench Add the web part to the page Observe: Error during gulp serve related to microsoft/sp-webpart-workbench/lib/api/ Web part fails to load with Cannot find module './15.js' Expected behavior The web part should load and render correctly in the local workbench without module resolution errors. Desktop : Browser: Chrome Node.js: 16.8.0 SPFx: 1.15.0
Ability to schedule email of SharePoint post
We've started using SharePoint to create and send mass emails in our organization, but its a huge pain that I can't schedule them ahead of time to send at a specific time/date. Could you work on creating a way to schedule not just the publishing of a SharePoint news post, but when it is shared via email? That would be amazing.
