SharePoint 2010 put back the "Set Up Groups for this Site" link

The "Set Up Groups for this Site" page has been, for some unknown reason, hidden in SharePoint 2010.

The page is still there and it can be accessed here:/_layouts/permsetup.aspx.

To make this generally available I created a custom action to add this to the "People and Groups: All Groups" (/_layouts/groups.aspx) page, in the Settings dropdown menu:


xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
< Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/" >
  < CustomAction Id="64f25e2b-f9fb-4e37-b848-5949603b03ab"
                Title="Set Up Groups for this Site"
                Description="Use this page to specify who can access your site. You can create new SharePoint groups or re-use existing SharePoint groups."
                Location="Microsoft.SharePoint.GroupsPage"
                GroupId="SettingsMenu"
                Sequence="1000"
                >
    < UrlAction Url="~site/_layouts/permsetup.aspx">< /UrlAction>
  < /CustomAction >
< /Elements >

This can a Site or Web level feature, depending on where it has to be applied.

PowerShell script to add work email to the list fields for the author

The Author (Created By) field is actually an lookup field to the hidden User Information list. If you need to add the work email of the Author (Created By field) user to a specific list it can be done by adding a dependent lookup field for the Author field: $site = get - spsite "site url here"; $list = $site . RootWeb . Lists [ "list name" ]; $createdByEmailGuid = $web . Fields . AddDependentLookup ( "Work e-mail" , [ Microsoft . SharePoint . SPBuiltInFieldId ]:: Author ); $createdByEmail = $web . Fields . GetFieldByInternalName ( $createdByEmailGuid ); $createdByEmail . Description = "Work e-mail address of the Author."; $createdByEmail . LookupField = $web . Fields [[ Microsoft . SharePoint .

Update (); If additional fields are needed the same method can be applied. Here is a li...

SharePoint 2013 CAML Query Errors

I got this error while running a CAML Query from a SharePoint 2013 Client application: System.ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range.
