Re: Creating a page which displays data from API or database
Hello Jason, Pages in SharePoint use something called web parts. These webparts can show data from a SharePoint List or document library for example. It is possible to retrieve information that exists in SharePoint. However, if you would like to make an API call to fetch data from another source, then you would need some development skills to build your own webpart.

Hello johnjohn-Peter , The web part I would recommend is the quick link web part. You can configure it to show image with a title. It would be closest to what you are describing. Unfortunately, you will not be able to control what links that are visible in different screen sizes. To do that, you would need to create your own custom SPFx solution.

Hello Rexter, You can definitely share your list to a Teams channel that is not connected to the SP site. You just have to give the list unique permissions and invite the members of the team to that list. Within the channel, create a new tab (SharePoint) and add the URL to the list. If you want users to fill in a form, and the data should then be saved at your list, without users having permissions to your list. Then I would recommend using Power Automate to handle that process for you.

Hello johnjohn-Peter , I like your idea. I would have liked that feature. Unfortunately, that is currently not possible to do. What I have seen some customers do is to build their own provisioning solution for creating sites. Within that solution, they configure necessary settings. But this would still not be good enough for when new document libraries are created.

Hello, To automatically add any external users to a group. Create a Dynamic security group. Add a rule that includes all users with the type "guest". See more : Manage rules for dynamic membership groups in Microsoft Entra ID - Microsoft Entra ID | Microsoft Learn About limiting access, what type of access are you trying to limit/prevent? Could you give some examples?Re: Help Linking SharePoint Lists
Hello vfaria , Create a SharePoint list for the projects. The projects should be added through a Power App, that is controlled by Power Automate, with approval flow. The projects then get added to a controlled list that only the "Power Automate" account has access to add information to. Each project will have a unique ID (default list column). The unique ID will later be used. Further develop the Power App experience to showcase a dropdown or searchable column for all current projects. The user has to select a project to be able to create an initiative (to connect them). When the user has selected a project and wants to create the initiative. Trigger a Power Automate to find the list item with the unique value "Title" and fetch the project ID. Use that ID value in another list where you store the initiatives and, in that way, they will be connected to the project. In the initiatives list, you will need to create a custom column for the "Project ID". Because you cannot override the ID on the initiatives.

Exactly, If you try to create a list item, either through the interface or API, it will default try to create an object with the content type "Item". However, if you are only working with a custom content type, then the users will never be able to "guess" the content type ID and actually create a real item. You can look at it this way: if they try to go the wrong way, you will notice it as spam. The idea is not to remove the default content type. It has to coexist with the custom content type. Just make it hidden on the +new button and make sure content type is not shown as an editable field anywhere.

In what way do you mean that they can modify the list using an API? :) I recommend doing a penetration test on the list just to try it out. It is impossible to create an "official" item using the right content type unless they have the ID. To get access of the ID, they have to either be site owners or owners of the list.
