user 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.
Stream (mobile app) permissions do not match desktop settings
I recently shared a video link via email. When accessed from a desktop, the link directed users to the correct video version with the appropriate permission settings. However, when the same user accessed the link from their mobile devices, it directed them to an unedited, editable, and downloadable version despite the set settings. How can we prevent this from happening in the future?
External 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? Its an only cloud environment
Access 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, Anthony
Remove 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.Allow 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?Which 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.SharePoint 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 Andrew
