SharePoint Views Permission

Permissions in SharePoint are basically on;

1. Sites,
2. Libraries
3. Documents
4. Folders
5. Lists
6. Items

… Comment on the post if I forgot any!

Okay nothing new for who knows it, for who don’t & still searching on google, your search either will be third party tools [which you have to pay for] or just others asking the same question.

Now the work around is

Steps:

1. Create your list,
2. Make sure the list is not in quick launch or top navigation,
3. Whatever columns are needed, add it,
4. Create different views,
5. Create page for each view you created in your list,
6. Add the list in the pages you created, while in Edit mode, edit the web part zone of the list & choose the view to display.
7. In the pages library, here you specify unique permissions on each page; which means for each view!

More with a Trick 😉

Remember; in step 2, make sure your list is not in quick launch [left navigation] or top navigation, ok glad you remember J

Now someone with contribute permission can go to “View all site content” and see the list, now we have to hide the list yup we are going to use PowerShell to hide the list.

$webSite = Get-SPWeb “http://SharePoint Site”;

$list = $webSite.Lists[“TestList”];

$list.Hidden = 1;

$list.Update();

 

Enjoy SharePointing! J

Issue applying Workflow Associations to Content Types

Doy's Microsoft 365 and Azure Dev Blog

 

Introduction

 

First, let’s set the scene. We have built a solution for a customer with a site collection and within that site collection a sub-web which has a large number of document libraries in it.

For the next release we were looking to setup records management and use the out of the box disposition workflow to allow the customer to decide whether to delete the document or not. The workflow is triggered by an information policy.

The upgrade went well all the feature upgrades worked nicely however then we hit a snag setting up the workflows.

The process of applying a workflow to a content type is pretty straight forward and we did not have any problems with the development, staging or UAT environments. Of course its only when we go to setup in production did we hit a problem.

Applying the workflow to a content type was…
