I need to update a FieldUserValue field in sharepoint 2013. i am only given an email address data. I can't user EnsureUser since it only accepts the logonName. i used the FromUser method but it gives me an error that says "the user does not exist or is not unique"
FieldUserValue user = FieldUserValue.FromUser(email);
it worked when i tried using my email address but when i use the email addresses in my data it results in an error. how do i fix the issue?
You could resolve user by email address using Utility.ResolvePrincipal method, for example:
var result = Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Utilities.Utility.ResolvePrincipal(ctx, ctx.Web, emailAddress,Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Utilities.PrincipalType.User,Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Utilities.PrincipalSource.All, null, true);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
if (result != null)
{
var user = ctx.Web.EnsureUser(result.Value.LoginName);
ctx.Load(user);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
}

in a Sandbox environment nlapiSendEmail (defined inside a suitelet) returns SSS_AUTHOR_MUST_BE_EMPLOYEE even when the sender id is correct
My distribution is Kilimanjaro, with SuiteScript 1.0. I have an administrator role, when calling nlapiSenEmail() directly from the backend model with my employee id, the email was sent to my employee profile, but not to the specified email, which is really a company distribution list. Even when I did not specify the logged customer email, a copy was sent to the logged customer email, a gmail account. The backend model operates only for the MyAccount application. It's worth noting that in this scenario nlapiSendEmail() return value was undefined. In my experience, Netsuite is really ambiguous in its behavior returning values or just functioning in an expected way, due to the "execution context". So, with the same data I put my call inside a suitelet, and now I am having the return SSS_AUTHOR_MUST_BE_EMPLOYEE.
function sendEmailWithAPI(request, response)
{
var senderId = request.getParameter('senderId');
var to = request.getParameter('emailTo');
var subject = request.getParameter('subject');
var body = request.getParameter('body');
var cc = request.getParameter('emailCC');
var result = {success:false, errorInfo:''};
try
{
var sendingResult = nlapiSendEmail(senderId, to, subject, body, cc);
result.success = true;
}
catch (errorOnMailSending)
{
result.returnValue = sendingResult;
result.errorInfo = errorOnMailSending.details;
}
response.write(JSON.stringify(result));
}
What is the record type of the senderId? NetSuite only accepts Employee records as sender of script generated emails. Also in Sandbox accounts, the emails are re-routed to the logged in user, specific list, or not at all. This is actually based on the Company preference in your Sandbox account. The reason for this is Sandbox is usually used for testing and you don't want to send test emails to actual customers.
In the end the "problem" was that I was just working in the Sandbox, as I prepared a snippet to test email sending in production everything went right. In the sandbox you can still send emails specifying a list at the subtab "Email options"
with the option "SEND EMAIL TO (SEPARATE ADDRESSES WITH COMMAS)"
this is located at Setup > Company > Email Preferences.
I have to loop through all Rows in a table that contain a user field. I have to retrieve those users and do nasty stuff with them:
private void GetUsrInfo(FieldUserValue user, ClientContext clientContext) {
int id=user.LookupId;
Web web = clientContext.Web;
User spuser = web.GetUserById(id);
clientContext.Load(spuser);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Mail = spuser.Email;
}
This works. However these are "old" entries and a lot of these persons do not even exist anymore. The user-field still contains the data of that now abandoned user, but when I try to retrieve the userdata by GetUserById() I retrieve the following exception:
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerException: User cannot be found.
at
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientRequest.ProcessResponseStream(Stream
responseStream) at
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientRequest.ProcessResponse()
Currently I just catch these Exceptions and proceed to the next user.
But this is bad and very slow.
Is there a more smart way? Anything like "if web.UserExists(id)..."?
EDIT
One possible way to check whether or not the user exists, without throwing an error or creating a new user (as result of the web.EnsureUser(#"domain\username") method) is to load the complete collection of users locally and use a LINQ statement to lookup the user by Id.
For example:
UserCollection collUser = ctx.Web.SiteUsers;
ctx.Load(collUser);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
var user = collUser.Cast<User>().FirstOrDefault(u => u.Id == 1);
if (null != user)
{
Console.WriteLine("User: {0} Login name: {1} Email: {2}",
user.Title, user.LoginName, user.Email);
}
If there is a record where the ID == 1, it will be returned, if not the return value will be null.
Depending on the number of users in the site, this may have performance concerns, however, based on the number of exceptions you expect to generate checking the user ID, this solution may be feasible.

I want to Get the Active Directory names in sharepoint in a list.
To got Know that SharePoint 2013 Has some Hidden URL which Shows Current Active Directory User I wan to get it into List.
http://{YourSharepointUrl}/_catalogs/users/simple.aspx
Now I want to have list of all the names Displayed on my sharepoint
I am using the code:
private static void GetAllSiteUsers()
{
// Starting with ClientContext, the constructor requires a URL to the server running SharePoint.
var sharepointContext = new ClientContext("http://yoursharepointurl/");
}
Now I am Getting error it says about assembly reference doesn't exist.So I checked on google and added up this ddl and add the using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client; reference also.Still Not working.
Please Let me Know what needed to be done Guys
Purpose Of Making Program:To have all the AD Users and Make a work Group so that I can Assign them some right in such a way when assigned grp open something some other URL in iframe shows. and if some one else than other URL in iframe is shown to him.
Thanks IN Advance Guys.
You are in Server side (Farms solution), so don't use : ClientContext, this is for Client application, not server.
You just have to get the : User Information List
You could try somthing like :
using(SPSite site = new SPSite("URLsiteCollection")){
using(SPWeb web = site.rootWeb){
SPList userList = web.SiteUserInfoList;
SPListItemCollection allUsers = userList.Items;
foreach(SPListItem userItem in allUsers){
string userEmail = Convert.Tostring(userItem["EMail"]);
string userName = userItem.Title;
....
}
}
}
To get all information about active directory user or group you can use
PrincipalContext pContext = new PrincipalContext (ContextType.Domain, YOUR_DOMAIN);
//For User
UserPrincipal userPrincipal = new UserPrincipal (pContext);
PrincipalSearcher userSearch = new PrincipalSearcher (userPrincipal);
//For Group
GroupPrincipal grpPrincipal = new GroupPrincipal (pContext);
PrincipalSearcher grpSearch = new PrincipalSearcher (grpPrincipal);
foreach (UserPrincipal result in userSearch.FindAll())
{
if (result.SamAccountName!= null)
// Your code
}
foreach (GroupPrincipal result in grpSearch.FindAll())
{
if (result != null)
{
// Your code
}

I'm building a custom workflow where all users that are members of a specific role will receive email notifications depending on certain state changes. I've begun fleshing out e-mail templates via Sitecore items with replaceable tokens, but I'm struggling to find a way to allow the setting of the recipient role in Sitecore. I'd like to avoid having users enter a string representation of the role, so a droplink would be ideal if there were a way to populate it with the various roles defined in sitecore. Bonus points if I can filter the roles that populate the droplink.
I'm aware that users/roles/domains aren't defined as items in the content tree, so how exactly does one go about configuring this droplink?
Sitecore 6.5.
I'm not sure if there is a module for this already made, but you can use this technique: http://newguid.net/sitecore/2013/coded-field-datasources-in-sitecore/
It explains how you can use a class as data source. So you could create a class that lists all user roles.
You might want to take a look at http://sitecorejunkie.com/2012/12/28/have-a-field-day-with-custom-sitecore-fields/ which presents a multilist to allow you to select a list of users.
Also take a look at the Workflow Escaltor Module form which you can borrow the AccountSelector control which allows you to select either individual person or roles.
This is the module I previously used to do this exact thing. The following code gets all the unique email addresses of users and only for those users that have read access to the item (it was a multisite implementation, the roles were restricted to each site but the workflow was shared).
protected override List<string> GetRecipientList(WorkflowPipelineArgs args, Item workflowItem)
{
Field recipientsField = workflowItem.Fields["To"];
Error.Assert((recipientsField != null || !string.IsNullOrEmpty(recipientsField.Value)), "The 'To' field is not specified in the mail action item: " + workflowItem.Paths.FullPath);
List<string> recepients = GetEmailsForUsersAndRoles(recipientsField, args);
if (recepients.Count == 0)
Log.Info("There are no users with valid email addresses to notify for item submission: " + workflowItem.Paths.FullPath);
return recepients;
}
//Returns unique email addresses of users that correspond to the selected list of users/roles
private List<string> GetEmailsForUsersAndRoles(Field field, WorkflowPipelineArgs args)
{
List<string> emails = new List<string>();
List<User> allUsers = new List<User>();
AccountSelectorField accountSelectorField = new AccountSelectorField(field);
List<Account> selectedRoles = accountSelectorField.GetSelectedAccountsByType(AccountType.Role);
List<Account> selectedUsers = accountSelectorField.GetSelectedAccountsByType(AccountType.User);
foreach (var role in selectedRoles)
{
var users = RolesInRolesManager.GetUsersInRole(Role.FromName(role.Name), true).ToList();
if (users.Any())
allUsers.AddRange(users);
}
selectedUsers.ForEach(i => allUsers.Add(Sitecore.Security.Accounts.User.FromName(i.Name, false)));
foreach (var user in allUsers)
{
if (user == null || !args.DataItem.Security.CanRead(user)) continue; //move on if user does not have access to item
if (!emails.Contains(user.Profile.Email.ToLower()))
{
if(user.Profile.Email != null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(user.Profile.Email.Trim()))
emails.Add(user.Profile.Email.ToLower());
else
Log.Error("No email address setup for user: " + user.Name);
}
}
return emails;
}
I'm developing an approval workflow in SP Designer 2007. I need a form field that will allow the user to verify that they have entered a working email address from Active Directory into a form field. (This will be the email address of the user's supervisor who grants approval - if this email address is wrong the entire process is derailed). I'm thinking it would work just like the Address Book button in an email form. Or better yet, like the Check Name button that simply checks the email address currently entered and verifies it by underlining it or some other visual cue.
Seems like an obviously useful behavior - I must be missing something - I am new to SP. Thanks!
Can you not run an LDAP query using the current users username, getting the user "Manager" field. Use that to get the managers email address.
That way the user only overrides the email address if they explicitly want someone elses.
Here is a little code to help you do an LDAP query
using System.DirectoryServices;
//DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://wel0101");
DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry();
DirectorySearcher deSearch = new DirectorySearcher(de);
//deSearch.PropertiesToLoad.Add("Email");
SearchResultCollection results;
deSearch.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree;
deSearch.Filter ="(&(objectClass=user)(cn=bacchu*))";
//deSearch.
results = deSearch.FindAll();
foreach (SearchResult result in results)
{
ResultPropertyCollection props = result.Properties;
richTextBox1.Text += "------------------------\n";
foreach (string propName in props.PropertyNames)
{
richTextBox1.Text += propName + ":\"" + props[propName][0] + "\"\n";
}
}
richTextBox1.Text += "Done" + DateTime.Now.ToString() + "\n";
