What When you're building a PowerApp connected to a SharePoint List Form and you would like to capture the details of the person who is filling out the form. Why I understand that this is already captured via the 'Created By' SharePoint System field, but sometimes customers like to capture requestor name, phone, etc on the form itself rather than having to go to SharePoint to view it all. Assumptions: You've already created a PowerApp and added a 'Form' Control that uses a SharePoint List as a Data Source. Your SharePoint List contains a People Picker Field How To pull back details about users, add another Data Source: View  Tab > Data Sources > Add Data Source > Office 365 Users Click on the Card in the form that contains your People Picker Field Go To Advanced and click 'Unlock to change properties' so that you can select the field itself Click on the People Picker Field itself, then select the 'Default'...

What Ever tried to copy or share a link in SharePoint Online and it defaults to providing you with a Guest Link that is 'accessible to anyone in the organization'? It's a really good option for staff that want to quickly share a document without having to understand SharePoint Permissions. Unfortunately, the Guest Access Link forces the user to open up the document In-Browser using Office Online.  I personally can't abide this until the functionality between Online & Client are 1-to-1. How to Fix SharePoint Online defaults the Sharing settings for copying & sharing links to "Internal - People in the Organization Only' , which basically means 'Guest Link that opens in browser'. To change this you just need to go to: SharePoint Administration Center Sharing Tab Change the 'Default Link Type' setting from 'Internal' to 'Direct - Only people who have permission' Done!  No more links with 'guestaccess....

Had a problem where external users (people outside our organisation who had been provided with an anonymous link to OneDrive/SharePoint Documents) were showing up in SharePoint's People Search Results. This article explains how to fix:  https://englando.wordpress.com/2015/07/24/hiding-users-from-office-365-sharepoint-global-search-results/ Basically you need to add a Query Rule to SharePoint's 'Local People Results' Search Query to block out results that contain the external users. I personally filtered out all results where a persons Username contained ' #EXT#' , which is what gets appended in Office 365 whenever an external user is given access to a document.

Even better, we are going to create the ability to automate Site Creation across multiple Site Collections. If you're looking for a tutorial on how to do this in Nintex Workflow 2010/2013, I've written an article here:  SharePoint 2010 - Automate Site & Group Creation with Nintex Workflow 2010 Why As most SharePoint administrators are aware, it's ALWAYS a bad idea to give staff the ability to create SharePoint sites.  They will end up creating them for the wrong purposes, will not maintain them, no retention policies will get assigned to them, etc. However, you don't want to restrict your users creative freedom.  You want to govern it...
