Many of these lists are lists used as PowerApp data sources that you have logic to populate said data source and do not want users editing them directly. When users use or navigate to a list in the Lists app and hit the back button, you get presented many lists that you use in these apps and users could become curious and start editing the data source directly. Obviously, your best option is to use dataverse, but not all of us can get funding for those licenses yet so we make due with what we have. </p><p style="text-align: left;">To solve this issue I have found out you can utilize graph or in my case PowerShell PnP to hide SharePoint lists from anywhere on SharePoint including site contents AND from the lists app recent list. This will almost certainly keep users out of data sources outside of using your apps! </p><p style="text-align: left;">First thing you will need to configure and <a href="https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2021/02/how-to-install-pnp-powershell-module-for-sharepoint-online.html">Install the SharePoint PowerShell PnP Module</a> once installed, run the following simple script by replacing your $listName with the list you want to hide and the URL to your Site containing the list and your list will instantly become hidden from users. </p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><b>$listName = "Test List"</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>$site = "https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/YourListSite/"<br /><br />Connect-PnPOnline -Url $site -UseWebLogin<br />Set-PnPList -Identity $listName -Hidden $true -NoCrawl</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It took me some digging to figure this out once I found out users were being redirected to the Lists app and knew I had to find a way to hide these lists I use in apps. Hopefully you will find this useful and or your web searches got you here for the answer! </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Chris Webb</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Microsoft MVP</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Follow on X @chriswebbtech</p>Chris Webbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13162667883998946929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-964935154644849254.post-91555641267292997072020-09-02T13:31:00.012-07:002020-09-02T14:54:32.885-07:00Copy SharePoint files and retain Created By and Modified using a Power Automate Flow<h2 style="text-align: left;"> The Problem</h2><p> I've seen crop up in searches and I have seen it on Microsoft Tech community where people want to copy files somewhere for multitude of reasons but want to retain the created by and modified by information. Current methods do not retain information when a copy is used. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Existing Methods</h2><p>Using a Power Automate Flow's built in "Copy File" copies files across sites and libraries no problem. However, the person triggering the flow or the account the trigger is built on becomes the created by / modified by after the copy completes since it's creating a new file for the copy. </p><p>The "Move file" action works, but it does not retain the original file in it's original location which is a requirement in many cases when copying files somewhere for archive or other purposes. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">CreateCopyJobs to the Rescue</h2><div>After looking around for REST calls that might work, I stumbled across the newer option which utilizes the same mechanics that "Move to" and "Copy to" use in SharePoint Modern pages. I thought originally that "Copy to" retained metadata but after testing it, it does not. I started looking at the properties for this call and noticed at the very end a property called "MoveButKeepSource"</div><div><br /></div><div><div></div><blockquote><div>public bool MoveButKeepSource { get; set; }</div><div><br /></div><div>Once set, this move operation is similar to copy. The file will move to destination, but the source content will not be deleted. If set, this will make a copy with the version history and preserve the original metadata. No source item deletions occurs at the end.</div></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>Well, this is interesting. What this means is we can basically use the Move method but retain the original which in effect acts as a copy, but it will retain the metadata like a move to will. This is perfect! Now how do we get that into effect? </p><p>Here is a reference to the <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/apis/spod-copy-move-api" target="_blank">CreateCopyJobs </a>Docs article. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">The Flow</h2><div>This is a very simple 2 step flow. Step 1 is the trigger, either a manual method using "For selected item" or you can have it automatically copy based on created / modified of files in a library. Step 2 is a "Send HTTP Request to SharePoint" action. </div><div><br /></div><div>Below is my example flow that I used to get this working.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEPMHqjzlJjn-nFjkSn6xbH7SGYn7sLQBZiK6ygyMLv6nNZy1bVg1hF1IpGJlGr15neMV0TDNDqiMpzkhKHtqwguMXi5GDA4aiKQGj7pfttNCgZ6Yp6RQwarnv8IU7SiHIqg3ZdUhP4W8/s1065/copy+file.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1065" data-original-width="628" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEPMHqjzlJjn-nFjkSn6xbH7SGYn7sLQBZiK6ygyMLv6nNZy1bVg1hF1IpGJlGr15neMV0TDNDqiMpzkhKHtqwguMXi5GDA4aiKQGj7pfttNCgZ6Yp6RQwarnv8IU7SiHIqg3ZdUhP4W8/s640/copy+file.PNG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is the Body I used for this update, I hardcoded the destination and what not but if you need to make this dynamic for some reason you could easily do this.

AllowSchemaMismatch is you have different columns in the libraries, I put this in as any changes to columns and you will get a badgateway error so best to have this in place. NameConflictBehavior is 1, this will replace existing files with the same name. If you want to create a copy instead you can specify a 2 and it will append a number to the end of the document name. </div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Conclusion</h2><div>I hope this helps anyone out there that has this requirement of copying files somewhere and wanting to retain metadata from an automated method or you just want to copy files and retain the Created by / Modified by columns since utilizing the built in "Copy to" doesn't seem to do that. </div><div></div></div>Chris Webbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13162667883998946929noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-964935154644849254.post-85023073130473157642020-03-06T13:12:00.003-08:002020-03-06T13:41:06.719-08:00Microsoft Teams Suggested and Trending Notifications and How They Can Cause Confusion<div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
New Suggested and Trending Notifications in Microsoft Teams</b></span></h2>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Microsoft has started to sneak in a feature into Teams that gives notifications for trending and suggested threads throughout your various Teams you are a member of. These are notifications to help you get more involved and not miss out on content in your Teams designed to help you reduce notification settings and keep you in the loop but it seemingly is causing more confusion than it is helping users with their Teams and notification noise. </span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 680px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;">Why Are Notifications</span><span style="color: #222222;"> Showing for Channels That Are Set Off?</span></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are many Tech Community posts and mumbling about that users are getting confused because they are receiving notifications in their activity feed despite them setting these channels notifications to "off".</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On close inspection, you will notice that these notifications have new icon's next to them to let you know what the source of the notification is. Instead of the usual icons for reply, mention etc. you will have the following new icon's for Suggested and Trending notifications in the feed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These types of notifications do not follow the same rules as your channel notification settings and can make it seem that your notification settings are not working even thou they are for the normal notification types, but these new notification types override your settings. </span><br />

</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Luckily Microsoft has provided ways of disabling these notification if you do not want them. Below you can find out how you can disable this for yourself. Or how the tenant admin can disable these for everyone with the click of a mouse. </span></div>
<div>
<u><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></u></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Each user has the ability to disable the suggested and trending notifications in their notification settings. In the settings window on the notifications tab, you can find trending and suggested as shown and set how you wish to be notified of these actions. **If you do not have these they have not been pushed to your tenant**</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hopefully this will help you when this feature lands and your users are confused to why they are getting notifications for posts they shouldn't be getting them for. This feature can help with setting up less notifications but stay up on trending topics, however most users are used to being in control of what they want and don't want to see. The good news is Microsoft has given us a choice in this matter and not forced the notifications on us, so good job Microsoft for that, I just wish it was a bit more obvious than an icon to the users why they are getting these seemingly random notifications in their feeds. </span></div>

After some troubleshooting and testing I had a hunch that it could be the coexistence mode settings and sure enough it was.<br />

<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Cause: Skype Coexistence Modes</span></h2>
In my test scenario I switched my tenant over from Teams Only to Skype Only and waited overnight, and I woke up to a missing chat tab with my guest user. So we definitely have a root cause for the issue. The question is it by design? I Expect the other two Skype coexistence modes to also effect chat for guests.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Work Around: Teams Only Coexistence Mode</span></h2>
A work around would be to set your users that should be Skype Only manually to Skype Only coexistence mode per user. Once this is set, I personally would give it some time to bake. Next switch your Org setting to Teams Only. This should now revert the guest user to be able to chat and maintain your users upgrade mode.<br />
<br />
The side effect to this method is your new users will be provisioned into Teams Only mode. So you would have to remember to change their coexistence mode when creating their accounts. This could also cause delays in the message routing as well so you will want to plan accordingly.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Conclusion</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">So far I haven't received any feedback on this item but I do not think it's by design. Not sure if it will get fixed or not, but right now the work around is the only method for allowing guests to have chat. This seems to have started appearing recently since the updates to the Coexistence Modes starting to enforce their intended behaviors (Disabling chat etc.). </span></div>

Recently I went on a few day vacation and happen to notice some new changes to how presence works when Microsoft Teams automatically sets your status to "Out of Office" while using Automatic Replies or adding Out of Office meetings to your Exchange Online calendar.<br />
<br />
Lets take a quick dive into the history of this feature and what has changed.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">Previous Exchange Online OOF Presence Integration</span></h2>
Back in April of last year Teams released an update that would <a href="https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Teams-Blog/What-s-new-in-Microsoft-Teams-April-update/ba-p/179801">set your Teams status to Out of Office</a> anytime you set Automatic Replies via Outlook/OWA or scheduled an appointment on your calendar with the "Show as" set to "Out of Office". This would hold your status as "Out of Office" throughout the duration of the event with the purple icon along with your Automatic reply if one existed shown below<br />

Many users would complain that they couldn't change their status and that they were traveling for work and originally were confused by this when it first hit Teams. I never realized how many people used meetings in their calendars to block off their Out of Office until this feature launched. This caused some behaviors to be adjusted and left many with frustration of how this forced effect worked. The Teams team seems to have taken a good step closer to solving these exact scenarios.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">Updated Exchange Online OOF Presence Integration</span></h2>
I'm not 100% sure when this feature came into play, but I would bet it was with the custom status update recently since this new integration disables the custom status so I think it makes use of it to make this work in this new way.<br />
<br />
When you set your Automatic responses or OOF calendar meeting, when Teams polls this information (seems to be roughly every hour) it will now set your status in Teams to a new %CurrentStatus% - Out of Office format. What this means is you can now set your status to Available/Busy/DnD while OOF is active and you will get new status icons (white background) indicating your current status. You also get the same Automatic Reply message as well on hover cards.<br />
<br />
Your status is set to the default purple icon and "Out of Office" status for all away statuses including being idle.<br />
<br />

What this means is you can now be out of the office and actually see if people are available for communication. This comes in handy in scenarios where people are out of home base, but traveling to customer sites and set their OOF for the trip and they still want their availability to show to colleagues. This is also useful if you want to to show your availability because you don't manage your work life balance properly and for some reason want to work when you're on vacation :).<br />

<h2>
<span style="color: #274e13;">Other Exchange Online Presence Integration</span> </h2>
It doesn't appear that the other presence integrations have been messed with at this point, such as your status being set to Busy when you have a meeting in your calendar etc. I<br />
<br />
t's good to see Microsoft starting to tweak and improving some of the little things throughout the Teams product and hopefully we will see many more like it in the coming months.<br />

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">The issue is however the links are limited to only https URLs and sometimes you may want a link to send an e-mail, chat or place a call to someone such as the helpdesk. Since these link types are not supported you really don't have much of a way to accomplish this and it is a fairly common ask I've seen on the Microsoft Tech Community over the months. </span></div><div><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span></div><div><span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">**Update.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've been seeing a few posts around the community that they cannot upgrade their Tenant to Teams Only mode through the admin center and at first I believed that it might be just an update that needed to take place on the back end for this ability to show up, but now I believe it's an admin center issue and the best way to set these items is through PowerShell.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At some point about a month ago I was able to set my own upgrade policy to Teams Only in the new Teams admin center UI and even had the option to set it for the tenant, but recently discovered both these options have magically vanished from the UI in the new admin center.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wanting to set my tenant now to Teams Only mode I figured I would check PowerShell and sure enough you're able to easily do this using the <b>Grant-CsTeamsUpgradePolicy</b> commandlet. </span></span><br />

I came across a problem recently with SharePoint 2013's new Access Request mechanism. It's a great feature, the only problem is, it requests Site Collection admin by default apparently to approve the users that request Access. I have found a work around for this, that will allow site admin's of sub sites to be able to approve/reject access requests for the sub site they are set to receive them for. <br />
<br />
There is a list that gets created when an access request happens on a site called "Access Requests", this list doesn't exist till a request happens. Once this happens, you open SharePoint Designer 2013 and navigate to the site. <br />
<br />
Once on the site, navigate to the All files menu on the left hand side, then "RIGHT CLICK" the Access requests list which should be in your list and select 'properties'. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now on the Properties screen, in the Customization Section is a Permissions for this List link. Click this, then you can now set permissions to the users your want to be able to approve Access requests for that site. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This list is generated for each site, so setting this permission only affects that site. <br />

<br />
I recently did an upgrade to SharePoint 2013 in my organization and everything went pretty much according to plan except for the incoming e-mail part of the farm decided to stop working. I set all my exchange routes to route mail to the new server and mail was routing, but it would just sit in the drop box and SharePoint would never pick it up. <br />
<br />
So on to troubleshooting. I tried putting the smtp server on two of my front end servers and make sure the services were running. They were, mail sitting in drop folder, but it never would pick them up. I tried making sure permissions were right on the folders and they were. Tried everything according to documents of setting up the incoming e-mail. I've never had issues before with this. Moved it to the app server and still nothing. I researched and could not find anything, even combed through logs couldn't find any errors. I'm not the best ULS log viewer, but I figured it would at least spit an error or something but I couldn't find anything, maybe I need to turn my logging level up or something. <br />
<br />
What was the fix you might ask? It all ended up being what I thought it might of been from the beginning was file permissions, but setting permissions on the folder would not work, even giving full admin rights to the service account wouldn't pick up the file. It wasn't until I setup a File Share to the drop location and configured the incoming e-mail settings to pickup the drop e-mail from the file share Location. <br />

Once I did this, low and behold the e-mail started processing. I don't really have the time to go in and figure out exactly what is wrong, but my gut tells me that something with Windows 2012 is preventing that service from directly accessing anything in that folder directly. <br />
<br />
Anyway, hopefully this may help some of you guys out when it comes to trying to figure out incoming e-mail problems with SharePoint 2013 and Server 2012. Also don't forget the incoming e-mail quota bug ( I say it's a bug, Microsoft did it by design apparently now), where you must have a quota set for it to work as well, here is the link to that: <a href="http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/a82e1a6f-4184-4815-9f46-4009a5341bfd/incoming-email-stuck-in-drop-folder-after-sphotfix-installation">http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/a82e1a6f-4184-4815-9f46-4009a5341bfd/incoming-email-stuck-in-drop-folder-after-sphotfix-installation</a><br />
