First time trying to do this, I need to give full access to a file to anonymous users in IIS 7.
So with some research looks like antonymous user is called IUSR
So I came here to add the user to the list but why it finds multiple IUSR users? How would I know which is which?
Because your search location is domain and not local machine. Change "From this location" field in above screenshot by clicking "Location" button in front of "From this location" and very first node should be your local machine (machine name). Select local machine and you should find just one IUSR.

Unfortunately I have a problem with an Forum Based on Domino FP9 Server. Several pages are created with the framework/language xpages. I have created a group and also a category. But the user is unable to get access the content.
My question is: How I can implement the right to an Group inside HCL Admin or Designer to read content on an Page?
Kind Regards
Okan
Access is granted via the Access Control List of the application. In HCL Notes Administrator, find the application on the Files Tab. Right-click and choose Access Control > Manage. IMPORTANT - DO NOT choose Manage Directory ACL in error.
In the dialog that opens up, you should be able to add groups/individuals with appropriate levels of access.
Not exactly sure what the problem is.... i.e. what it has to do with HCL Admin or Designer to do?
However, security in an XPage is exactly the same as with everything else Notes/Domino - so you can use that knowledge to control access rights.
A group in reality works like a single person in terms of access. So you can use it in the ACL of a database and/or in Readers/Authors fields (to control access to specific documents).
If you want to control functions or layout inside your application then I would suggest using Roles as these give an extra abstraction layer and are way easier to use in e.g. hide-when formulas inside your code. And then you just assign the role to a group or person in the ACL of the database.
Remember to set the right type of the entry in the ACL (e.g. Persons for a group that contain persons) - otherwise you can have issues where the server will not grant the expected access ;-)
I have imported users from AD and keep syncing them for a while. Today two of users' display names have been changed on AD and SharePoint synced them correctly. Just to be sure, I checked users from User Profile Service App which looks OK. New names are appearing correctly.
Yet when I try to add a list item and select user from people picker, I get old user info. This also happens when I try to insert a list item programmatically.
Tried to delete users from SharePoint, however I still get same old users. Do you have any idea for solving this situation?
Thanks in advance.
I found the solution. There was an another User Profile Service Application which was not used and not properly configured. Weird point is, that malconfigured app was not listed on service applications. I found it by using Get-SPServiceApplication cmdlet and removed it. After removal, did a full synchronization and voila! Now I can get current information.
This is may be because entry in SharePoint's hidden user-list - User Information List.
Browse to this list - http://{SiteCollectionURL}/_catalogs/users/detail.aspx
Check for the display name of the users you have updated. If you see old user name instead of new/updated, delete these users from this list.
After this ask user to login to the same site again.
I am using the Google script code, "SitesApp.copySite" to copy an existing site hundreds of time. (I am making a course website for every course in our high school). The master site is "Public on the web". When a make a copy of it, the copy becomes "Private". I am using the command "siteToUpdate.addOwner(emailAddress);" to add the teacher in as owner.
I can not find any way to make the site "Public on the web" again, besides going in manually to each site and changing it. Does anyone know how to do this in code?
Thanks
How can I fix the following error?
error: cs0016 could not write to output file...c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\sitename\6c57f9d2\bb09b49d\App_global.asax.5odzsyz5.dll' access is denied
After spending hours on this issue myself below is the solution that worked for me on Windows 7 running IIS 7.5:
The application pool identity associated with the site was not a member of the IIS_IUSRS group. To add the app pool identity to the group I used the following steps:
From the start menu select Run… enter lusrmgr.msc and click OK.
Select Groups.
Double click the IIS_IUSRS group.
Click the Add... button.
Click the Locations... button.
Select your computer name (it should be at the top of the list) and click OK.
In the text box below "Enter the object names to select" enter:
iis apppool\<app pool identity> e.g. iis apppool\dev
Click the Check Names button. If a Name Not Found dialog box appears then verify that the app pool identity entered matches the app pool identity associated with the site. If a dialog box did not appear then click OK.
Repeat steps 7 through 8 for each app pool identity you wish to add.
Click OK.
Now the app pool identity is a member of the IIS_IUSRS group which should already have access to the Temporary ASP.NET Files directory. After all that I was still receiving the error and I found (thanks to process monitor) it was because the app pool identity could not write to the windows temp directory. To resolve this I added the IIS_IUSRS group to the windows temp directory with read/write permissions.
From the start menu select Run… enter %windir% and click OK.
Right click on the Temp directory and select Properties.
Click on the Security tab.
Click the Edit... button.
Click the Add.. button.
Click the Locations... button.
Select your computer name (it should be at the top of the list) and click OK.
In the text box below "Enter the object names to select" enter: iis_iusrs
Click the Check Names button. If a Name Not Found dialog box appears then check for typos. If a dialog box did not appear then click OK.
Select the added IIS_IUSRS group and in the Permissions for Everyone box below select:
Allow Read and Allow Write
Click OK. A dialog box will be displayed stating that "You are about to change the
permission settings on system folders, which can result in unexpected access problems
and reduce security. Do you want to continue?"
Click Yes
Click OK
I've fixed this issue setting full control for 'NETWORK SERVICE' to the system temp:
C:\Windows\temp
The error message reported by the web server is a bit misleading.
Hope this helps.
I was struggling with this problem for a while.
Found some solutions on the web that involved setting permissions on the "Temporary ASP.NET Files" directory in the error message. But even opening it up to "Everyone" didn't work.
Then eventually the following steps fixed it:
Go to the IIS AppPool for this site
Right-click the app pool and go to Advanced Settings
Change Identity from "ApplicationPoolIdentity" to "NetworkService"
There may also be some other necessary steps, which I did while troubleshooting, but this is the key step. For some reason the App Pool Identity (such as IIS_APPPOOL\SiteName) isn't granted access when "Everyone" is. I'm sure someone else can shed some light on why this is the case... Hopefully this helps others resolve this frustrating issue.
I had the same problem.
Found an easy way to resolve: Set "Load user profile" to true in app pool's advanced settings.
I found the accepted answer on this post to be correct in process. I tried "NetworkService" and it did not work. However "LocalSystem" did!
For Windows 7 Set Full Control Permissions on folder C:\Windows\Temp for user IIS_IUSRS
Network Service user usually only applies on servers
Go
C:\Windows\Temp
Right Click on Temp Folder > go To Security Click on Edit
Add New User [IIS_IUSRS] AND GIVE IT FULL PERMISSION. Then Press Ok,
Just just need to set permissions for "Temp" folder.
Go to "C:\Windows\Temp"
Right click on it, and go to security.
Set permission for [IIS_IUSRS] user to Full control
Press OK
All done.
I Had tried like give the permissions and change in IIS regarding the identity but I was getting same error.
I just keep the following files underneath the path "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319" and problem is gone.
give the full control permission to recent folder.
cvtres.exe (XML configuration File)
cvtres (application).
I tried all the options here without any luck.
What worked for me was to simply remove the application pool and recreate it.
No need for extra permissions on any folder.
I have all permissions about writing and reading but I'm starting to get that error.
I can suggest "restart machine"
At least, it works for me
On the "My site" feature of Sharepoint there is a "memberships" Web part that shows the distribution list that the user is a member of.
This is picking up several groups that we would rather not be shown e.g. some that have been set up for administrative purposes only.
Is there any way to control which groups are shown; ideally this would be using another AD group and setting that only members of this group are shown.
I'm fairly sure this won't be possible without a custom web part that is deployed instead of the official part. The reason the Exchange solution doesn't work is because it's going the wrong way (from group to member instead of member to group).
To deploy it you can look at feature stapling... you would need to update the existing sites as well.
This is not an easy answer. I don't believe there is an easy answer.
The best solution would be to set a Deny Access Right for the distribution lists in Active Directory; follow these steps:
1) Open Active Directory Users & Computers as an admin (any user with access to creating groups and modify distribution list security settings).
2) Go to the View menu and make sure that there's a check-box next to Advanced Features.
Create a new security group in Active Directory (call it HideFromSharePoint or something) and add the SharePoint Content Access account (in my case DOMAIN\sa_spcontent) to that group (has to match the account used in step 4).
3) For all of the distribution lists that you don't want to show up in SharePoint do the following:
3a) Open the distribution list and select the Security tab (Advanced Features must be checked for this tab to be shown).
3b) Click on Add and type in the name of the security group that you created in step 3 (HideFromSharePoint); click Check Names and click Ok.
3c) Under Permissions for HideFromSharePoint; check the Deny box next to Read (it's set to Allow by default) and click Ok and Ok again at the prompt.
You've just denied any members of the HideFromSharePoint group read access to the distribution list.
4) Go to SharePoint Central Administration; SharedServices1; User Profiles and Properties; Configure Profile Import and under Specify Account enter the credentials of the account that you added to the HideFromSharePoint-group in step 3. (For some reason if you leave this to using the Default Content Access account SharePoint will use some other account to access Active Directory and thereby being allowed access to the distribution lists. You could experiment with adding other SharePoint service accounts to the HideFromSharePoint group but I think it's safer to specify an account explicitly so that you know which account is accessing AD and importing the data.) Also make sure the "Import Connection" for your Active Directory is set to "Use Default Account" (thereby "inheriting" the account used for Profile Imports).
5) Go to SharePoint Central Administration; SharedServices1; User Profiles and Properties and click on Start full import. (You can't do an incremental import because nothing has changed for the users in terms of group membership; it's just the access rights that have changed.) After completion of the full import (click Refresh until "Import time:" says "Started full import at 11/25/2009 ##:## AM - Ended import at 11/25/2009 ##:## AM")
The distribution lists should now no longer show up under Memberships.
A couple of things to note:
You have to set the Deny Access Right explicitly and individually on all of the distribution lists that you don't want showing up in SharePoint. That's because the special AD-group "Authenticated Users" has read access to every object in the directory by default and explicit Allow Access Rights trump Deny Access Rights set (for example) at the organizational unit level.
While you could skip the step of setting up the HideFromSharePoint-group and set the Deny Access Right directory for the SharePoint Content Access account Active Directory administration best practices is to use a group when configuring security permissions. (Then you can add additional members to that group and have those denied read access too.)
You might have to wait a while (5+ minutes or so) between setting the the Deny Access Rights for the changes to replicate to all of you domain controllers. Otherwise the import might read from a domain controller where the Deny hasn't yet come into effect.
Be careful adding any other accounts to the HideFromSharePoint-group because this might break your distribution lists. For example; if Exchange can't read the groups mail won't work. As long as you just add the SharePoint Content Access Account you're safe.
Also (and this has nothing to do with SharePoint or the solution above) be aware that any user in your domain can fire up ADUC or a LDAP tool and see the members of your distribution lists that way. If you have anything "Top Secret" you need to experiment further with setting access controls in Active Directory.
I assume that your "memberships" web part is using the SharePoint people picker functionality internally.
If that's the case, then the following stsadm command should help you scope your AD lookup the way you want it:
stsadm -o setsiteuseraccountdirectorypath -path <name of OU> -url <URL name>
You could try editing the Distribution List on the Exchange Advanced tab, selecting the "Hide group from Exchange Address lists" check box.
I have not tested this but in theory it would stop the Distribution List from appearing the the list of groups.
Easy fix: add a JavaScript to the page on which those appear that targets and then hides the specific items by applying a CSS style.
I don't have an exact answer, but here's how I would think through the problem. Perhaps you have already answered some of these questions, but it might help to go through them again. I would look at the questions in the following order:
Is there an option in Active Directory to hide a group from SharePoint? (sounds like no)
Is there an option in SharePoint administration (either through stsadm or the actual administration site) to exclude certain users or groups in AD from SharePoint?
Is there a way to configure the web part to exclude certain users or groups from the web part itself?
Is the source code to the web part available such that you can compile the web part to exclude certain groups in the list?
Can you use javascript (as Josh mentioned) in conjunction with the webpart to hide the Distribution Lists from the webpart? (Here's a site with an example of how to use JavaScript to Hide SharePoint's Quick-Launch bar. Maybe that will help).
Those questions are in order from the widest scope and easiest to implement to the narrowest scope that is more difficult to implement. Obviously, you'd like to implement a solution that is easiest to implement, but perhaps you find yourself farther down in the list.
In the last two examples, the solution may appear quite complex, but you may be able to write code that references an XML file of sites to exclude. That way, if your list of Distribution Lists changes, all you have to do is edit the XML file and not edit the source code (of either the javascript or the webpart).
If there's not a simple solution, you'd have to make the painful choice of either 1) letting the problem remain or 2) implementing a hack that adds a dependency to your solution.
I think Distribution Groups that aren't security enabled don't show up in SharePoint. Have you checked AD to see if these groups are security enabled? This may be only for permissions purposes, so I could be wrong.
You will probably need to do a profile import before you see any changes.
You can turn off Distribution Lists entirely, which is what we are doing at my company. This is done by going to the Profile Services Policies in the SSP and disabling the Distribution List feature.
Now if you want to pick and choose the Distribution Lists, it's not that simple, but hopefully this will help someone.
