We can get the roles of an SPUser by SPUser.Roles. But it will return SPRoleCollection. If we want to list all the roles we need to loop that.
For example an User has "Full Control","Read","Design" we need to loop the SPRoleCollection object.
How can i get all the roles as a string with ',' separator?
As a rough guess, try:
var user = SPUser // However you get the user.
var roles = Sring.Join(",", (from r in user.Roles select r.Name).ToArray()));
Though if you're using SharePoint 2010, the Name property is obsolete apparently.

I want to get different Rows from an SPListItem. I'll show you my problem with an example.
This code
Console.WriteLine(SPItemName["Created By"]);
or
Console.WriteLine(SPItemName["Created By"].ToString);
returns "8;UserName" (8 is the User ID).
If I look up the row in SharePoint Designer, i can choose even a format for this data field.
So i could get the html code of this field.
How to set the format (like html code or text) of a datafield in c#?
thanks
Use Either SPFieldLookupValue
If you need just the username, use SPFieldLookupValue to seperate id from value:
var userValue = new SPFieldLookupValue(SPItemName["Created By"] as string)
Then you can:
userValue.LookupValue to return UserName
userValue.LookupId to return Id
Or SPFieldUserValue
Or better yet, you can create SPFieldUserValue object to access any other user properties like email, login name, etc..
SPFieldUserValue objUserFieldValue = new SPFieldUserValue(web, SPItemName["Created By"].ToString());
Afterwards you can use:
objUserFieldValue.User.LoginName;
objUserFieldValue.User.Name;
objUserFieldValue.User.ID;
objUserFieldValue.User.Groups;
objUserFieldValue.User.Roles;
objUserFieldValue.User.Email;
objUserFieldValue.User.Sid;
objUserFieldValue.User.UserToken;
http://www.sharepointkings.com/2009/04/spfielduservalue-and.html
Note: to create SPFieldUserValue you must pass reference to web, that's because SharePoint has to get additional user information from user information list to construct SPFieldUserValue object.
I try to get the Subgroup of a Group in the standard Cognos Namespace.
Quering the Contentstore to get ALL groups works fine.
The standard methodes to get "members" of objects return the users or only the "root" group (the group I want the subgroups of). Nothing else....
Am I doing something wrong or is it just "not to be done" ?
I found a way of doing it:
Assuming you have the searchpath for the group you want the subgroups of.
Query the contentstore for it with following PropEnum:
PropEnum[] props = {
PropEnum.defaultName,
PropEnum.searchPath,
PropEnum.members };
As result you get a BaseClass[] object (with only one element though...).
Import com.cognos.developer.schemas.bibus._3.Group <--- this is part of the Cognos SDK libraries and
now you can cast the object[0] to Group.
object.getMembers().getValue()[] is an array of all members INCLUDING groups, roles, accounts.
In java it looks like this (query for the object already done):
Group group = (Group)object[0];
BaseClass obj = null;
for (int i = 0; i < group.getMembers().getValue().length; i++){
obj = group.getMembers().getValue();
System.out.println(obj.getSearchPath().getValue());
}
I am trying to copy an SPListItem (with file) from one site collection to another. I do this by creating the file like this:
var archiveFile = newsArchive.Lists[listName].RootFolder.Files.Add(originalItem.File.Name, originalItem.File.OpenBinary());
var archiveItem = archiveFile.Item;
through a utility method I wrote i then set all field values of the new item to correspond with the original item like so
Utilities.PopulateListItemMetadata(....)
The thing is, this does not persist the Author field.
I tried setting the Author field explicitely in every way imaginable, for instance like so:
string userName = originalItem.GetUser("Created by").LoginName;
SPUser user = newsArchive.SiteUsers[userName];
archiveItem["Author"] = user.ID + ";#" + user.LoginName;
archiveItem.Update();
And like so
string userName = originalItem.GetUser("Created by").LoginName;
SPUser user = newsArchive.SiteUsers[userName];
archiveItem["Author"] = user;
archiveItem.Update();
But as soon as the SPListItem.Update() method is called, the archiveItem["Author"] field has reverted to sharepoint\system. I'm a bit at a loss here, this should work..
P.S. the SPListItem.GetUser method is an extension method
P.P.S. Code is being run from a timer job...
Edit: Did some more digging by adding a new field to the content type and then setting that field to reflect the Author of the original item, but that is not set either. However, the web.EnsureUser(username) does return the correct user. Is this weird or what!?!
Found the answer, using
SPFieldUserValue val = new SPFieldUserValue(newsArchive, user.ID, user.Name);
archiveItem["Author"] = val;
archiveItem.SystemUpdate(false);
did the trick!
I've experienced the same problem. Have a look at this question.
The way that worked for me is to wrap the same code you have in your final example in elevated privileges.
Edit
Why don't you try replacing:
SPUser user = newsArchive.SiteUsers[userName];
with:
SPUser user = newsArchive.EnsureUser(userName);
Then you will know the user is in the web and also get a reference to them. The SiteUsers collection gives you the users in the site collection - they have not necessarily been added to the web. If SharePoint doesn't find the user it will probably use system account.
I want to show targeted (filtered) content from a list to users. I already have a column in the list that basically has the Target Audience value. This field is a multi-choice column (checkbox input) which I prefer over the current input field for Targeted Audiences.
To get audience filtering to work I unfortunately need to have the Targeted Audience field filled out for every list item. My current plan is to use a simple SharePoint designer workflow to set the Targeted Audiences field based on my other field, but I'm wondering if there is a better way. Am I just looking at this wrong?
Note that I know audiences can also be used to hide/show web parts, but that is not something I am interested in.
You could try and give this a whirl...
SPField audienceField = null;
try
{
audienceField = list.Fields[Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.FieldId.AudienceTargeting]
}
catch
{}
if(audienceField != null)
{
try
{
Audience siteAudience;
ServerContext context = ServerContext.GetContext(site);
AudienceManager audManager = new AudienceManager(context);
foreach (SPListItem item in list.Items)
{
string audienceName = item["fakeAudienceField"]; //should be the audience name created in SSP
siteAudience = audManager.GetAudience(audienceName);
Guid id = siteAudience.AudienceID;
item["Target Audiences"] = id.ToString()+";;;;";
item.Update();
}
}
catch
{}
I do not believe Target Audiences can be set up as a calculated field, in which case your options are workflow or a list item event receiver.
To set the audience field value, you can use AudienceManager.GetAudienceIDsAsText; Gary Lapointe has a post with example usage.
Maybe use a webpart to display the content of the list and use Audiences on the webpart sounds a solution easier to manage...
Scenario: Document library in SharePoint with column x of "Person or Group" type. From within a VBA macro (or VSTO add-in) we're trying to access the MetaProperty on the document to set/get the user name. Any attempt to access the value via the ContentTypeProperties collection throws a
Type MisMatch error (13).
The Type property of the MetaProperty object says it's msoMetaPropertyTypeUser. I cannot find any examples of how to work with MetaProperties of this type. Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks!
You should be able to just do something like this:
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://yoursite/subsite"))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
SPList list = web.Lists["DocLibraryName"];
SPListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(list.Views["All Documents"]);
foreach (SPListItem item in items)
{
item["Modified By"] = "Updated Value";
}
}
}
Any metadata for a document should be available by indexing the column name of the SPListItem.
I did it.
The trick here is actually to know that if you put a string corresponding to the user index in MOSS users in the custom property of the Word document, MOSS will recognize it and find the corresponding user to map the field.
so you just need to call http:///_vti_bin/usergroup.asmx
use the function GetUserInfo and retrieve the user index (ID) from it.
MOSSusergroup.UserGroup userGroupService = new MOSSusergroup.UserGroup();
userGroupService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
System.Xml.XmlNode node = userGroupService.GetUserInfo(userLogin);
string index = node.FirstChild.Attributes["ID"].Value;
