In the Sharepoint Document Library web part, is there a way to have a delete link for each of the files listed?
In the regular view of a document library you have a dropdown available when you hover over a filename, but there doesn't appear to be any option to delete a file in the web part.
Make sure you have proper permissions to delete the document. Usuallay if you have permission then you will see "Delete" option in the drop down menu.
Goto Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Modify All Site Settings -? Advanced Permissions
Click the appropriate group and make sure the user has permission to delete documents.

I am working in SharePoint online and office 365. This is causing auto-save to save and change the modified date whenever a document is opened by someone with Edit privileges even if nothing is changed. I would like to set SharePoint to open documents in preview mode by default, then if the user wants to edit they can click to edit. Ideally, I would want to control this at the folder level but the site level would probably work.
You can try below option so that users will be forced to check out a document from a document library before they can make any edits. To enable automatic check out, go to Library Settings > Versioning Settings and switch Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? to Yes. Click OK
check out a document in SharePoint
Next time anyone tries to edit any document in the library – they will be forced to check out a document.
If you log into the admin centre and select sharepoint in the left hand pane. Then select "Classic Sharepoint Admin Centre"
Select settings in the left hand pane.
Then next to preview features, select Enable preview features
Any issues just let me know
In Team Foundation Server 2010 Team Project Portal how can I create sub-folders in the Wiki section?
Customize the Wiki
Goto Advanced Settings and enable Make New Folder option.. tada!
The Wiki functionality is just a Sharepoint functionality. Adding folders is not available by default in a SP Wikisite. For a workaround, read http://sharepointpratik.wordpress.com/2011/04/06/create-folder-in-wiki-page-library/
Do the following.
Open settings menu for a library:
Find advanced settings:
In advanced settings find "Make 'New folder' command available" and choose 'Yes'. Confirm your settings.
Go back to your page library and evidence 'Folder' command in 'New' menu:
For some versions of SharePoint, you can also grant Manage Hierarchy permissions to the user and/or group, then you can use a “/” in your link and SharePoint will automatically create the folder for you.
For example, the link might be [[SubFolder/Home|Home Page for Sub Folder]], which will create the Home page in the folder named SubFolder.
Perform the following steps:
Click to Site Actions.
Click Site Settings.
Click Site permissions.
Check the box next to the user or group of interest.
Click Edit User Permissions.
Check the Manage Hierarchy box.
Click OK.
I have a sharepoint library that was created by a user with a url like "/mysite/MyLIBrary"
I want to change the case of the URL to be correct so it reads "/mysite/MyLibrary"
I cannot figure out how to do this in the sharepoint designer. Just renaming the library doesn't change the URL.
You should be able to select Document Library in SharePoint designer and Rename. This updates the Title of the list, not actual name.
After this you will also have to rename Library in "All Files" (Left-Botton in SharePoint Designer). Select the library, right-click and rename.
HTH!
Just go to a library trough 'All Site Content'. When inside the library choose on the ribbon 'Library' tab. Then select 'Open with Explorer'. That will open your SharePoint's library in Windows Explorer window. Navigate one folder up and you will see list of your libraries as folders. Rename required library's folder name as you want the URL to look like.
You can goto "Site Actions-->Site Settings-->Look and Feel-->Navigation-->Navigation Editing and Sorting" to change its URL's case.
Is there any webpart (free or purchased) that can be set to display the permissions for a list or document library? We want to set up pages that contain a view to a document Library and a section at the top of the page that lists what users can access the library, to ensure that users adding content to the library don't accidentally place it somewhere where the wrong people can see it.
Try the Access Checker Web Part
It offers something that should be much easier out-of-the-box: list user's permissions throughout the site. I can testify it saved me hours of sharepoint permission debugging.

Is there a way to limit the "edit item" permission in WSS 3.0 to only allow a user to edit his own documents or list items? We need the ability for a user to edit only documents/list items he creates - NOT items that someone else created. So, essentially we need a sub-set of the EDIT permission as well as ADD.
Is this possible in Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0? Is there a way to create custom permissions in code or a feature?
WSS has a basic UI for setting item-level permission on list items, but they hide that from the UI for document libraries. If you go into Settings->List Settings->Avanced settings for a list, you'll see the options to do pretty much what you're asking for. However, on document libraries, that UI is not available. The settings it drives, though are avaiable via the object model.
You could set those same properties for a document library like this:
SPDocumentLibrary onlyOwnLib = theWeb.Lists["DocLibName"]
onlyOwnLib.WriteSecurity = 2;
onlyOwnLib.Update();
And that should about do it. However, apparently that doesn't really set permissions; it just controls what the user can do via the UI. If they had another interface to the library (like via WebDAV) or list (like via the web services), it wouldn't prevent them from editing items they didn't create. If you want true item-level permissions, I think you need to go the event handler route.
This post from Matt Morse explains it in more detail, and he even wrote a command line tool to set the property (plus the .ReadSecurity property) for lists and libraries.
If you added an event handler to the document list you should be able to limit edit rights on that item to the user that created the item.
I often have to copy documents from another system into a list in SharePoint, and in that case the edit rights will be assigned to the system user that transfered the document, unless you use the approach suggested by Kirk Liemohn here
Note that item level permissions on large numbers of documents increase the load on your SQL server quite a lot.
here is the solution for your request.
go to the list -> list settings -> Advanced Settings
you will see the section of
Read access: Specify which items users can read
All items
Only their own
Edit access: Specify which items users can edit
All items
Only their own
None
select the options based on requirement. that's it done..

This is an old question, however the problem still exists.
A way that has worked well for me in the past is to use a workflow to configure the permissions when the library item is added.
See http://www.sharepointusecases.com/index.php/2010/03/configure-item-level-permissions-for-document-libraries-part-2/ for details.
I believe that permissions like that can be created through the user interface. It depends on the scale and number of list items you have, but you could do one of two things. First (without having to create scripts) you could give everyone a custom "Read" permission access which would not allow them to do everything you can in in the Read permission but allow them to Add Items. Then on an item-by-item basis, click the item -> manage permissions -> (Give the specific user Contribute permissions on their document).
If you're creating a SharePoint list that this will not be practical, you can create a script to traverse through all items, and will verify the user has contribute permissions (otherwise it will set the contribute permission to that user).
Additionally, you could just give each person their own folder.
Give everyone read permissions on the SharePoint list/document library, but give each person full control privileges over their own folder. This will allow everyone to read everything in a list, but create/edit their own documents.
If you want the 'Only their own' permission on a document library, it isn't there out of the box. But I've created a solution at CodePlex that adds this for Document Libraries - check it out at http://moresharepoint.codeplex.com.
