While creating Group in sharepoint we have an option
"Send membership requests to the following e-mail address"
It is used to send membership request to the SPGroup.
But how can we set the e-mail address programmatically
I'm trying to accomplish the same thing in a feature activated event. I have found how to create the group and how to access these settings in the object model. You can use my example below. The problem is, my changes to these boolean properties of the SPGroup don't take, despite calling SPGroup.Update(). The SPGroup created still uses the default settings (membership requests are turned off).
public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
{
SPSite site = (SPSite)properties.Feature.Parent;
{
using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
{
SPGroupCollection collGroups = web.SiteGroups;
SPUser user = web.EnsureUser("DOMAIN\\username");
collGroups.Add("MySPGroupName", user, user, "MySPGroupDescription");
if (!web.AssociatedGroups.Contains(collGroups["MySPGroupName"]))
{
web.AssociatedGroups.Add(collGroups["MySPGroupName"]);
}
SPRoleAssignment assignment = new SPRoleAssignment(collGroups["MySPGroupName"]);
SPRoleDefinition def = web.RoleDefinitions.GetByType(SPRoleType.Contributor);
assignment.RoleDefinitionBindings.Add(def);
web.RoleAssignments.Add(assignment);
web.Update();
collGroups["MySPGroupName"].AllowMembersEditMembership = true;
collGroups["MySPGroupName"].AllowRequestToJoinLeave = true;
collGroups["MySPGroupName"].OnlyAllowMembersViewMembership = false;
string emailForRequests = "username#domain.com";
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(user.Email))
emailForRequests = user.Email;
collGroups["MySPGroupName"].RequestToJoinLeaveEmailSetting = emailForRequests;
collGroups["MySPGroupName"].Update();
}
}
}
If using SP 2013, using PowerShell you can use the following code:
$membersGroup = $siteCollection.SiteGroups["$groupName"]
$membersGroup.RequestToJoinLeaveEmailSetting = "someone#mail.com"
$membersGroup.Update()

In an EventReceiver I call this method GetPernNr on Item Added:
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
{
SPSite site = properties.Web.Site;
using (SPWeb currentWeb = site.OpenWeb(properties.Web.ID))
{
.....
perNr = UserProfileUtils.GetPernNr(currentWeb, assignedTo.ToString());
.....
}
}
where assignedTo is a SPUser.
public static string GetPernNr(SPWeb web, string accountName)
{
string perNr = string.Empty;
UserProfile upUser = null;
try
{
PermissionSet ps = new PermissionSet(System.Security.Permissions.PermissionState.Unrestricted);
ps.Assert();
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
using (SPSite siteColl = new SPSite(web.Site.ID))
{
SPServiceContext serviceContext = SPServiceContext.GetContext(siteColl);
UserProfileManager upm = new UserProfileManager(serviceContext);
if (upm.UserExists(accountName))
{
upUser = upm.GetUserProfile(accountName);
if (upUser["PersonNumber"] != null)
{
perNr = upUser["PersonNumber"].Value.ToString();
}
}
}
});
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
..
}
finally { System.Security.CodeAccessPermission.RevertAssert(); }
return perNr;
}
It's strange, this code works when I try to get value from a default field in UserProfile (Office, Manager, etc). And also works when I call this method outside EventReceiver, but in my case, upUser["PersonNumber"].Value returns null.
Any help will be much appreciated
Did you check the custom property permission in the central admin.
Central Administration -> Edit User Profile Property -> Policy Settings
Make default privacy policy to everyone and then try.
Here is the steps for SharePoint Server 2013:
Central Admin > Application Management > Manage service applications > Your User Profile Application > Manage User
Properties
Select Edit option from property menu.
Now Under "Policy Settings":
Set Default Privacy Setting: Everyone
As we know, we can check user's permission by doing this:
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb(path))
{
SPUser user = SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser;
string loginName = user.LoginName;
if (web.DoesUserHavePermissions(SPBasePermissions.EnumeratePermissions))
{
if (web.DoesUserHavePermissions(user.LoginName, SPBasePermissions.Open))
{
//do something
}
}
}
Here is my question, if current user doesn't have enumerate permission, how to get permissions on SharePoint object? Thanks in advance.
You can do it by opening an "admin" web instance (creating a SPSite object and passing System account's user token to it). This way you do not have to worry about whether current user has or has not got enough permission.
SPUserToken adminToken = SPContext.Current.Web.AllUsers["SHAREPOINT\\System"].UserToken;
using (SPSite adminSite= new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.ID, adminToken) ) {
using (SPWeb adminWeb = adminSite.OpenWeb(SPContext.Current.Web.ID)){
if (adminWeb.DoesUserHavePermissions(SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.LoginName, SPBasePermissions.Open)) {
//do something
}
}
}
Of course, you better not do this on every page load as creation and disposing of SPSite/SPWeb objects is relatively expensive.
Here I have defined a function that takes a SharePoint list object, a Role type and a User.
portal : The sharepoint list or document library object.
role : RoleType provided by sharepoint like Read, Design etc.
user : user to whom you want to grant role on portal.
Hope it will help you.
public static void AssignPermissionToPortal(string portal, SPRoleType role, SPUser user)
{
try
{
// Run with elevated privileges
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Web.Site.ID))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb(SPContext.Current.Web.ID))
{
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPList portalList = SPListHelper.GetSPList(portal, web);
portalList.BreakRoleInheritance(false);
//Add Readers on portal
SPRoleDefinition permission = web.RoleDefinitions["Read"];
if (role == SPRoleType.Administrator)
permission = web.RoleDefinitions["Full control"];
else if (role == SPRoleType.Contributor)
permission = web.RoleDefinitions["Contribute"];
else if (role == SPRoleType.WebDesigner)
permission = web.RoleDefinitions["Design"];
else
permission = web.RoleDefinitions["Read"];
// Check the user Role on site level.
SPUser roleUser = uHelper.GetUserById(user.ID);
if (roleUser != null)
{
SPRoleAssignment assignment = new SPRoleAssignment(roleUser);
assignment.RoleDefinitionBindings.Add(permission);
portalList.RoleAssignments.Add(assignment);
portalList.Update();
}
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
}
}
});
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Log.WriteException(ex);
}
}
We have custom upload page for document library.
On upload page we have one people picker field,
(user can enter multiple users id)
Design for People picker
<SharePoint:PeopleEditor ID="pplApprovers" runat="server" Width="250px" Height="25px" MultiSelect="true"/>
to get emp id from people picker we use below code
public ArrayList approversArray;
public SPFieldUserValueCollection approversCollection;
try
{
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
ArrayList aAccount1 = new ArrayList();
approversArray= pplApprovers.Entities;
approversCollection = new SPFieldUserValueCollection();
SPUser user;
SPGroup group;
SPUser currentUser;
SPWeb web=SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context);
currentUser=web.CurrentUser;
ArrayList aAccount = new ArrayList();
aAccount = pplApprovers.Accounts;
ArrayList peEntities = pplApprovers.Entities;
approversArray = pplApprovers.ResolvedEntities;
foreach (PickerEntity entity in approversArray)
{
if (entity.EntityData["PrincipalType"].ToString() == "SharePointGroup")
{
group = web.SiteGroups[entity.Key];
approversCollection.Add(new SPFieldUserValue(web,group.ID, group.Name));
}
else
{
//handles SecurityGroup, Distribution List and User
user = web.EnsureUser(entity.Key);
approversCollection.Add(new SPFieldUserValue(web,user.ID, user.Name));
}
}
});
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Manage error event
}
and after getting this value we are inserting it in document library.
item.Item["Account Partner"]="approversCollection";
but after clicking upload button the only user who have site admin access can successfully upload the file but other user's who don't have admin access gets redirected to the
https://web/_layouts/AccessDenied.aspx
page
We tried using SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges but got no success...
Anyone please let me know how to resolve this issue or alternate way to use people picker
Instead of using the SPContext of the web object you need to create a new site and web object under the elevated privileges.
SPWeb web=SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context)
You need to use this under your elevated permissions:
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Web.Url))
{
using(SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
....
}
}
I have a simple custom web part with three drop downs that reads from three different list. When the user tries to access this page they get prompted for password, if they don't enter any credentials they get a 401 error.
I have enabled anonymous access both in central admin and on the site itself, users can browse to the site and view it without getting prompted for password. I have made sure that anonymous user have "view" access to the lists in questions but they still can't view any page with a custom web part.
So is it a SharePoint setting or do I have to add something in my web part projects?
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
I call this method in page load and still get the same error
private void LoadImageGallery()
{
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
SPSite oSiteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPWebCollection collWebsites = oSiteCollection.AllWebs;
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
for (int i = 0; i < collWebsites.Count; i++)
{
using (SPWeb oWebsite = collWebsites[i])
{
if (oWebsite.Title == "People")
{
SPList peopleList = oWebsite.Lists["Pages"];
if (peopleList != null)
{
SPListItemCollection collListItems = peopleList.Items;
dt = collListItems.GetDataTable();
// Include Surname to omit default/search page
dt = collListItems.GetDataTable();
rptImageGallery.DataSource = dt;
rptImageGallery.DataBind();
}
}
}
}
});
}
I also tried with
SPSite oSiteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPWebCollection collWebsites = oSiteCollection.AllWebs;
above runwithelevated..
I set system\sharepoint to have full control in the entire site
The custom page needs to meet two requirements so that the anonymous users can access it:
it needs to inherit from the class UnsecuredLayoutsPageBase,
the property AllowAnonymousAccess needs to be overridden to return true.
For anonymous access, you have to modified your code for access List to bind drop down list as below. Add you code in SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges Delegate method.
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate() {
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(web.Site.ID))
{
//ADD YOUR WEB PART Code HERE
}
});
Important: You must create SharePoint Objects in this Delegate otherwise code will not run with Admin access.
I am trying to add a user to an existing group from a custom login page. Right now, I have no problem getting the current user from SPWeb.CurrentUser. I can view all of this current users groups, but now I am having a problem adding this user to an existing group. I think I need to use SPRoleDefinition and SPRoleAssignment, but all I can find is how to change the permissions on a group using these classes. Does anyone know how I can add this user to a group by the groupname?
Thanks!
You can utilize this function to add user to the current site. You need to pass Group name and UserName.
public void AddUsers(string groupname, string username)
{
try
{
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
// Gets a new security context using SHAREPOINT\system
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
{
using (SPWeb thisWeb = site.OpenWeb())
{
thisWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPUser Name = thisWeb.EnsureUser(username);
thisWeb.Groups[groupname].AddUser(Name);
thisWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
}
}
});
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//Log error here.
}
}
Have you tried any of this?
If you're trying to add a user to a group, this should work:
SPUser currentUser = SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser;
SPGroup group = SPContext.Current.Web.SiteGroups["My Group Name"];
group.AddUser(currentUser);
