Implementing Custom Site Owners Group - Restriction to Full Control

$
0
0

Hi

We have an SP 2013 on-premise installation that was implemented using the default security and permissions. However after a year of use we need to make some changes to the security and permissions for Site Owners.

For testing purposes, I have created a custom Site Owners permission level that denies branding, which works fine, and this is assigned to the Site Owners group replacing the Full Control permission. The Site Owners Group group owners setting has been assigned to the Site Collection Administrators. This all at the Site Collection level.

We would like to also restrict the level of permissions the Site Owners can give to groups or individuals, in particular they should not be able to give any object the Full Control permission level thereby circumventing our desired restrictions. 

Is this doable? This would need to be applied to all Site Collections, or at least replicated.

If there is any advice or guidance you can provide it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Support,

I just wondering why I can't connect the SQLserver to SharePoint farm. I tried to install SP2013 with  "Standalone"  as a  Server type and it's working but when I tried to choose "Complete" and I  want to connect to separate SQL server machine unfortunately it doesn't work  and I got this error . (see below screenshot). Could anyone help me because it's been a week already that's why i need some help or any suggestion to resolve my problem

Here's what's going on: I have a 3 VM test machine; one AD, separate SQL server and SP2013.

1. VMAD01 - firewall will be turnoff

2. SQLSERVER - ad\sql.admin ( had full permission, dbcretor and systemadmin), Firewall; will be turn off and added "SQL server port 1433" and it's based on the forum I've seen. Note: I used  the SQL standard version and SQL express (https://letitknow.wordpress.com/2013/04/04/cannot-connect-to-database-master-at-sql-server-checklist/)

3. VMSP2013 - install all prerequisites

SharePoint prompts for authentication when Dynamics CRM is set up for server-based authentication

I followed the steps in https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn949332.aspx to set up CRM-SharePoint server-based authentication but I'm getting authentication prompts when opening documents from CRM in IE, Chrome or through the Dynamics CRM iPhone app. 

My environment contains:

-CRM 2016 Update .1 on-premise configured for IFD with claims set up for UPN, SID and Windows Account Name.

-SharePoint 2013 SP1 on-premise

I'm getting the below error in the event log:

An exception occurred when trying to issue security token: The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error.  For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the <serviceDebug> configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs.

SharePoint 2013 Standalone Install - "Configuration did not Complete Successfully" Error

$

Folks,

I'm trying to install a standalone version of SharePoint 2013 on a single server for demo purposes on a Windows 2012 R2 server. I bring up the splash screen and the prerequisite install and reboots go as planned. However when next I bring up the splash, Install SharePoint, and standalone mode, I starts the install, then several minutes into the install I get a "Windows SharePoint Server 2013" dialog box that says, "Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 configuration did not complete successfully. One or more required office components failed to complete successfully. For more information, consult the setup log."

The only "error" I see in the SharePoint Server Setup Log is "Error: Command: 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\SERVER15\Server Setup Controller\dbwrap.exe' failed with error code: -2068578304. Type: 8::CommandFailed." Not sure what that is or how to fix. Can't seem to get past this point. Even tried to run repair, but no luck. Anyone else run into this and know how to fix or what I need to do? Seems this should be pretty straight forward on a standalone install , but have it just won't install. Anybody know what I am doing wrong so I can correct? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Sorry, we couldn't find your license to use this feature. If you know who manages the licenses for your organization, tell them you'd like a license to use 'Excel Services'.

We have a problem where people send out a share to a document, this works for all files except XLSX.

SharePoint sends out a link with ?web=1 at the back and as we only have standard license the receiving user gets "Sorry, we couldn't find your license to use this feature. If you know who manages the licenses for your organization, tell them you'd like a license to use 'Excel Services'." We also have the feature enabled to "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default"

Further testing showed me this:

These links work:

http://contoso.com/sites/test/Test%20lib/Inventory%20software.xls

http://contoso.com/sites/test/Test%20lib/Inventory%20software.xls?web=1

http://contoso.com/sites/test/Test%20lib/Inventory%20software.xlsx

This link gives me the error message:

http://contoso.com/sites/test/Test%20lib/Inventory%20software.xlsx?web=1

I suspect Excel Services has something todo with this, but can't find the cause why SharePoint is sending out links with ?web=1.

Thanks for the help

I have SharePoint 2013 On-Prem which is migrated from SP 2010 to SP 2013. Everything works well with the Site. Now I took the back up and restored to new server and site is working fine without any issues. User Profile service is running and there is no issue. But permissions doesnt work. Even If I add a user as site collection administrator, user doesnt get any access. In fact permissions are not working on entire site collection.

How long to Setup a Singel Sharepoint Server

$

My company has an existing Sharepoint 2013 server with a single site.  The content database is quite small...just a little less than 900 meg.

We have a new physical server that is allocated to replace the old one.  It already has Server 2012R2 installed and configured and joined into the domain.  The SQL server is current and in place on the network on another box.

My question is how long is a reasonable estimate for installing Sharepoint 2013 and all the related services on the new server and of course reconnecting it to the existing site content?

We've received estimates that vary by as much as 100 hours to do what seems like a very straightforward task in a very basic environment.

Thanks in advance for your input and ideas.

Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise/Standard Cal question

$

0

Hi all,

Long story short, we have approx 200 people using Standard version (SP2013). We are planning to upgrade 20 users to Enterprise version (for reporting/powerpivot/etc) We've created a testing environment (Evaluate) 

I already add two AD groups "Ent" and "Std" by using New-SPUserLicenseMapping.

However, I need to "prove" that this is working before my boss actually buying it.

The question is, how can I test it is working?

Users within Ent group can use those Ent features and Std group will remain the same.

Thank you for your time

Description of a new 14 folder, inside the Pages Library, in a 2010 to 2013 upgraded SP Search Center

$

Hello and thanks for any reply as well as your reading time,

My question is in regards to a new folder, created after a SharePoint 2010 to 2013 upgrade. This new"14" folder is located in the Pages library of the Search Center, and it seems to contain the 4 basic pages included in a Search Site. (Advanced.aspx, Default.aspx, PeopleResults.aspx, and Results.aspx)

Is there any documentation regarding this new folder, its purpose and functionality? I have been trying Google/Bing searches and only find results in reference to those hive folders /14/ and /15/ and upgrading custom WPs, etc. I think I would rather chew on some broken glass than return to page 6 of a Google search result that will only lead me to page 7 of Googles search results... 

Can anyone offer me more information regarding this new-post-upgrade "14" folder?

Many thanks,

T

 

Error importing excel as a list - All sharepoint versions with Office 2016

I am facing this issue.  It happens on any client machine with Office 2016.  And ANY version of SharePoint, 2007, 2013, Online, etc...

https://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/t/417155

I have installed the latest updates to Office as of this morning, but still facing the issue.

But the resolution says that the Feb PU fixes it...  But update to what?

If its SharePoint, I don't think 2007 has any new updates being released?  Or SPO?  When does that get updated

Error with Publishing Approval 2010 workflow in SharePoint 2013

Hi,

I have a Site Collection under with I created a sub site with the template - "Publishing Site with Workflow".

Now, in the "Document" library I add a workflow:  Approval - SharePoint 2010 with Start option as below -

Now I upload a document and then try Publishing a major version. Doing so, I get 'Comment' dialog box; I press Ok... and then...

Requesting access > Gaining access (even Full Control) doesn't help. The workflow terminates.

Following similar steps on a different site collection; the workflow works well.

Any Idea why this could happen?

Content Search Web Part over HTTPS for a Host Named Site Collection

$

Hello

I have a host named site collection http://media.contoso.com which is a media portal that stores videos and pictures. On my parent site collection http://site.contoso.com homepage I have a Content Search Web Part that displays videos from the media portal. Both sites work over https.

When I edit the content search web part and enter the URL http://media.contoso.com in the 'Change Query' box, search returns the results as expected but when I enter the URL ashttps://media.contoso.com no results are returned.

I have removed the binding in IIS to point to http://media.contoso.com.

I need it to be https so that I don't see "HTTPS security is compromised by http://media.contoso.com" on my site collection homepage.

Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks
