A SharePoint page in iFrame from a multigeo location within the same M365 does not work
In our solution we have components to open a sharepoint page in a modal window in an iFrame which works perfectly fine in a non-multigeo scenario. However since including multi-geo environments, this don't seem to work as expected because SharePoint doesn't allow loading a page from a different geo location due to a Content Security Policy Directive. I understand that by design SharePoint does not allow loading pages in an iFrame from an external domain. However in this cause we're trying to load it from a different geo location but within the same M365 tenant connected to the same AD. For example when using the _layouts/15/sharedialog.aspx? page SharePoint takes care to add all the SharePoint domains of the different geo locations in the Content Security Policy directive header attribute but this does not happen when loading an normal news page. Is there a way around this? Am I missing some admin configuration? I would expect SharePoint to recognize the domains for the different geo locations of the same eco system as trusted between one another. Thanks in advance for any advice.
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? aefggaddadsfasdHow to create a glossary page in Microsoft Lists [SharePoint]
The new Glossary View in Microsoft Lists comes directly from the community, and Federico Sapia is its author (Thanks for sharing). This view is absolutely easy to implement requires a list with 4 starting columns. In a few clicks you can have a view that allows you to explore and navigate the elements of a list by taking advantage of the letters of the alphabet in the header making it even easier to filter and group. #Teams #SharePoint #Microsoft365 #MPVbuzz #MicrosoftLists #Lists
Mapping SharePoint list items using Azure Maps
I have a SharePoint list with office locations. Our client would like to show all of these locations on a map. Getting a Bing Maps key is no longer an option - this has been deprecated, so we will need to use Azure maps instead. We have a Azure Maps key, but are unsure of how to enable it in SharePoint. Every blog post we find only has instructions for Bing Maps. Any help is much appreciated!

Over the last 3 years of managing permissions across a suite of sites, I have uncovered more new issues with the way SharePoint permissioning is designed at every turn. A few examples, before the question: If I "Share" a file or folder somewhere on the site (breaking permissions inheritance), it is very inconvenient to find it again. If I "copy link" in this one particular way, permissions inheritance is broken. When looking at site-level permissions, I see site-level permissions groups, but there could be hundreds of other users who have been added to my site(s) without my knowing. If I want to reset permissions in an area (set of folders or library), I have to do it file-by-file or folder-by folder. If I want to get an excel snapshot of - anything really - IT has to pull it and it takes a couple days. Not to mention the permissions interface is incredibly clunky. All-in-all, there seem to be a million ways to break permissions inheritance, creating an access tracking and security nightmare. AND there's no easy way to truly see and understand who has access to what or what is broken, without spending hours with IT to pull a bunch of narrow-visibility reports. So my question is: what is the best way to navigate full permissions visibility? Am I doing something wrong? Is anyone else experiencing these issues? We have resorted to having a very strict "no outsides besides a few exceptions" policy and only managing permissions at the site-level, which really hampers on the collaboration benefits that SharePoint is trying to enable. It is also very administratively intensive. One of the benefits to SharePoint is that users don't really need to understand how it works to use it, but that's becoming less and less true with the increasing lack of security we feel in the platform.Organization Asset Libraries not filtering in PowerPoint Brand Images
Hi, I have set up three Organization Asset Libraries on the same SharePoint site using the `Set-SPOOrgAssetsLibrary` PowerShell cmdlet. All three are image libraries, each intended for a different language version of our company assets. When I go to PowerPoint → Insert → Pictures → Brand Images, I can see a dropdown that allows me to switch between the libraries. However, regardless of which library I select, all images from all three libraries are displayed at the same time. My questions: 1. Is this expected behavior (by design), or is it a bug? 2. If by design — what is the actual purpose of the library switcher dropdown if it doesn't filter the content? Any insight or official documentation reference would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
SharePoint, Brand Center and CDN questions
I'm hoping someone can help me untangle the new Brand Center and the CDNs it is using My understanding: You can create Org Asset Libraries that use private CDNs The Brand Center requires the use of a public CDN You can have an existing org asset library in place when you create the brand center, and the brand center will use the site where the existing org asset libraries are as the brand center app/site BUT - you have to enable the use of the public CDN when adding brand center to the org asset site. This is the part I haven't found documentation detailing the public vs private CDNs used for this feature. Questions: What content is being broadcast on the public CDN when you create a brand center from scratch? Is it just the fonts, or are other assets created with the brand center utilizing the public CDN? Do org asset libraries using private CDNs continue to use private CDNs after adding the brand center or are the private CDNs converted to public CDNs? Can you add more private CDN org asset libraries to an existing brand center, or are all asset libraries created going forward using the public CDN?Turn off posted news notification to teams
Hi everyone, When someone posts news on the SharePoint site, some users receive notifications in their Teams. How can I turn off these notifications from the SharePoint site admin side? If this is due to Viva Connections, how can I configure it? My goal is to prevent notifications from being sent to Teams after news is posted. Thank you
