      <content:encoded><![CDATA[As this issue keeps showing up again and again in support requests, I thought it is worth mentioning here.

The problem is that the External User account gets, somehow, associated with a different UPN in the Users List of SharePoint Online or gets corrupted somehow. Either way the first thing to do is to find it and get rid of it so that we can recreate a health account in the Users List.

I had like to mention that I have seen cases where the Administrator has executed the command <strong>Get-SPOExternalUser</strong> in the Power Shell Administration console but the External User account was not found using this method. This may be the case when there are a large number of user Accounts. In this case it might be necessary to view only the first 50 Accounts per page:

Get-SPOExternalUser -PageSize 50 -Position 0

See this article:
<span>Get-SPOExternalUser
</span><cite lang="en-US">From &lt;<a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj730438.aspx">https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj730438.aspx</a>&gt; </cite>

The solution in this case was to look for the External User account in the Users List page:

<strong>&lt;URL&gt;/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0</strong>

If the account appears listed in there, just delete it and then re-invite the user. This time around it should work.

&nbsp;

I hope this works for you, when facing a similar problem.

Have a nice and productive day !]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Whenever the admin tries to change the regional settings for a site collection, a message appears that says something similar to the following:

"The column"Workflow History Parent Instance" in the list or library "CreateDateExpiredTasks History" has been marked for indexing. Please turn off all indexed columns before changing the collation of this site. You may re-index those columns after the collation of the site has been changed."

Or

<span>"The column "Invitation" in the list or library "correlation ID number" has been marked for indexing. Please turn off all indexed columns before changing the collation of this site. You may re-index those columns after the collation of the site has been changed."</span>

Or

"The site regional settings cannot be changed because one or more columns has been marked for indexing";

You could try to get rid of the afore mentioned column manually but that could take hours on a medium to large site.

The best way I have found so far to be able to change the Regional Settings under this condition is to make sure the "Sort Order" option is set to "General", as in this screen-shot:

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[As a best practice, it is highly recommended but in practice to keep an updated Security Book where all the Groups and User Accounts of a SharePoint Online site are listed can be a challenging task.

Many users ask how to obtain such a list when needed.

I show here how to obtain an Excel table list of the security groups (with its members) from a SharePoint Online site using PowerShell.

Firstly, we need to install the latest version from SharePoint Online Management Shell and connect using a Global Admin account.

<em>From &lt;<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/download/details.aspx?id=35588">https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/download/details.aspx?id=35588</a>&gt; </em>

Connect to SharePoint Online PowerShell <em>From &lt;<a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161372.aspx">https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161372.aspx</a>&gt; </em>

Connect-SPOService -Url <a href="https://$orgname-admin.sharepoint.com/">https://$orgName-admin.sharepoint.com</a> -Credential $userCredential

See article: Index of Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Online cmdlets

From &lt;<a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161364.aspx">https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161364.aspx</a>&gt;

Once connected run the following cmdlet:
<ol>
 	<li><a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161385.aspx">Get-SPOSiteGroup</a> -Site $OrgSiteURL | OGV</li>
 	<li>A table should open containing the Security Groups and its members. Select any group in the table and do a “Control+A” in order to select them all, then a “Control+C” to copy it and a “Control+V” to paste them Inside of a new Excel document.</li>
</ol>
There we have it! A list of all Security Groups (with its members) neatly arranged in an Excel file.

Now take the time to analyze maybe rearrange the existing groups. Remember that when it comes to complication, less is more, often. By inserting groups inside of groups and giving permissions to groups instead of to users we can keep it simple, as we should.

I hope this will be useful, when needed.

Have a nice and productive day!

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[For a long time users have asked how to Transfer Or Migrate Data onto SharePoint Online From Your Local File Share, Or On-Premises SharePoint, Using PowerShell or the AzCopy Command-Line Utility.

There used to be a void of information but actually since 2015 there has been a way to do the job, in this post I will list two:

<strong>1 . By using plain PowerShell (for small data sets up to 4 Gb, there is no need for purchasing an Azure subscription when using this method) :</strong>

<span>Install the latest version from SharePoint Online Management Shell
</span><cite>From &lt;<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/download/details.aspx?id=35588">https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/download/details.aspx?id=35588</a>&gt; </cite>
<p lang="en-US"><span>Connect to SharePoint Online PowerShell
</span><cite lang="en-US">From &lt;<a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161372.aspx">https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161372.aspx</a>&gt; </cite></p>
Connect-SPOService -Url <a href="https://$orgname-admin.sharepoint.com/">https://$orgName-admin.sharepoint.com</a> -Credential $userCredential

Refer to this article:
<strong>Upload on-premises content to SharePoint Online</strong>
<cite lang="en-US">From &lt;<a href="https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Upload-on-premises-content-to-SharePoint-Online-555049c6-15ef-45a6-9a1f-a1ef673b867c?ui=en-US&amp;rs=en-US&amp;ad=US">https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Upload-on-premises-content-to-SharePoint-Online-555049c6-15ef-45a6-9a1f-a1ef673b867c?ui=en-US&amp;rs=en-US&amp;ad=US</a>&gt; </cite>

<strong>And here is a Sample Script, to Migrate-FilesLessThan4GB, use it at your own risk:</strong>
<div>
<div>$moduleResult = Get-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.Powershell</div>
<div>if ($moduleResult -eq "")
{
Import-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.Powershell
break;
}</div>
<div>$creds = Get-Credential
$sourceFiles = Read-Host "Enter the path to the files you want to migrate"
$sourcePackage = Read-Host "Enter the path to a dedicated folder the script can use to hold temporary data"
$targetPackage = Read-Host "Enter the path to a different dedicated folder the script can use to hold temporary data"
$targetWeb = Read-Host "Enter the URL to the target web"
$targetDocLib = Read-Host "Enter the Document Library Name"</div>
<div>New-SPOMigrationPackage -SourceFilesPath $sourceFiles -OutputPackagePath $sourcePackage -TargetWebUrl $targetWeb -TargetDocumentLibraryPath $targetDocLib</div>
<div>ConvertTo-SPOMigrationTargetedPackage -SourceFilesPath $sourceFiles -SourcePackagePath $sourcePackage -OutputPackagePath $targetPackage -TargetWebUrl $targetWeb -TargetDocumentLibraryPath $targetDocLib -Credentials $creds</div>
<div>$jobinfo = Invoke-SPOMigrationEncryptUploadSubmit -SourceFilesPath $sourceFiles -SourcePackagePath $targetPackage -Credentials $creds -TargetWebUrl $targetWeb</div>
<div>Get-SPOMigrationJobProgress -TargetWebUrl $targetWeb -AzureQueueUri $jobinfo.ReportingQueueUri -Credentials $creds -JobIds 825afe38-9afd-4c77-8567-cf50805a7a8c -EncryptionParameters $jobinfo.Encryption</div>
</div>
&nbsp;

<strong>2. By using the AzCopy Command-Line Utility to transfer data (</strong>This more complex method might be more reliable when transfering large ammounts of data*, it requires  Azure subscription / Azure Storage Account):
<span>
Download and install the </span><a href="https://aka.ms/downloadazcopy"><span>latest version of AzCopy</span></a><span>.</span>

*<strong>Size</strong> L<strong>imitations Note:
Note</strong> that the minimum possible value for option <code>/SplitSize</code> is 32MB. If the specified destination is Blob storage, AzCopy will split the data file once its sizes reaches the blob size limitation (200GB), regardless of whether option <code>/SplitSize</code> has been specified by the user.

Refer to article <strong>Transfer data with the AzCopy Command-Line Utility
</strong><cite lang="en-US">From: </cite><a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-use-azcopy/">https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-use-azcopy/</a>

<strong>Note</strong>
This guide assumes that you are already familiar with <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/services/storage/">Azure Storage</a>. If not, reading the <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/storage-introduction">Introduction to Azure Storage</a> documentation will be helpful. Most importantly, you will need to <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/storage-create-storage-account#create-a-storage-account">create a Storage account</a> in order to start using AzCopy.
<p class="lf-text-block lf-block"><strong>Overview
</strong>AzCopy is a Windows command-line utility designed for copying data to and from Microsoft Azure Blob, File, and Table storage using simple commands with optimal performance. You can copy data from one object to another within your storage account, or between storage accounts.</p>
<p class="lf-text-block lf-block" style="text-align: left">Lastly, there is an excellent blog from Nishant Shah describing how to do it, just be sure to use the new cmdlet “Invoke-SPOMigrationEncryptUploadSubmit” instead of the the old cmdlet "Submit-SPOMigrationJob" and, upgrade the Sharepoint Online Management Shell to the latest version if needed:<strong>
</strong></p>

<div class="NOTE alert">
<h5><strong><span lang="en-US">Migrate to SharePoint Online (O365</span><span lang="fr">–</span><span lang="en-US">SPO) from On-Premise SharePoint or fileshare using new PowerShell migration APIs
</span></strong><cite lang="en-US"><a href="https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/nishants/2015/07/18/using-windows-powershell-cmdlets-for-sharepoint-online-o365spo-migration/">https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/nishants/2015/07/18/using-windows-powershell-cmdlets-for-sharepoint-online-o365spo-migration/</a></cite></h5>
</div>
I hope you found this useful.

I whish you a nice and productive day !

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are still too many users asking this question, so I will attempt to give the short and long version of the answer here..</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Short Version Answer: <br />The database containing the data which populated page UsageDetails.aspx is gone. You could use the new Popularity Trend feature,&nbsp;found in the Site Settings page.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Long Version Answer: <br />The page UsageDetails.aspx was never even available through the User Interface (UI), one had to know about its existence to type its URL&nbsp;in the address-bar but that is&nbsp;kind of&nbsp;a hack, never really supported..</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here is the official statement from the&nbsp; product group:</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Why has it changed in SP 2013:</span></span></span></span></p>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">"This is due to an architecture change between product versions</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</div>

<div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">In very large deployments of SharePoint 2010, the Analytics usage logging system required a large amount of resources. Often dedicated servers or very high-end machines were required in order to maintain acceptable performance due to large amounts of data processing and intensive I/O operations. In order to support these large deployments and SharePoint Online, it was necessary to make improvements to the way this system works. The major change in the design of the analytics usage system is the ability to turn the use of the usage database off and still allow for usage providers and usage receivers. Several changes were made in order to improve the overall system and performance.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 6pt 57.6pt; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-family: Segoe; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">&middot;</span><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span>Usage database (WSS_Logging) redesign within SQL</span></span></div>

I am not by any means wearying a creative or deep analyses hat here, more like a librarian one, enjoy it.<br />&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Note: This article is specific to Office 365 pre-upgrade.</strong> To learn about permissions in Office 365 after the <a href="https://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/am-i-using-office-365-after-the-service-upgrade-HA103982331.aspx">service upgrade</a>, see the following topics:&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Office 365 Enterprises &amp; Office 365 Midsize Business: <a href="https://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-suite-help/assigning-admin-roles-HA102816050.aspx">Assigning admin roles</a></li>

</ul>
<h2>Office 365</h2>
<p><strong>Microsoft Office 365 for enterprises</strong> follows a role-based access control (RBAC) model: permissions and capabilities are defined by management roles. The person who signs up for Office 365 for his or her organization automatically becomes a global administrator, or top-level administrator. There are a total of five administrator roles within Office 365 for enterprises: global administrator, billing administrator, password administrator, service administrator, and user management administrator. Note that if you did not purchase Office 365 for enterprises from Microsoft, you will not be able to make billing changes and therefore will not have the billing administrator role available to you. For more information about administrator roles in Office 365 for enterprises, see <a href="https://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-enterprises/ff637584.aspx">Assigning administrator roles</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Support agents who work for Microsoft partner companies that are authorized to provide delegated administration on behalf of a customer can also have administrator permissions assigned to them in Office 365 for enterprises. There are two levels of administrator permissions that support agents can have: full administration and limited administration. Full administration has privileges equivalent to those of a global administrator. Limited administration has privileges equivalent to those of a password administrator. Before you assign delegated administration permissions, you must first add a delegated administrator to your account. This process is initiated by a Microsoft partner sending you an email message asking you to authorize them to be a delegated administrator. For more information about this process, see <a href="https://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-enterprises/gg243434.aspx">Add or remove a delegated administrator</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>In Office 365 for professionals and small businesses</strong>, users either have administrator permissions or they don&rsquo;t; there is no concept of RBAC. The person who signs up for Office 365 for professionals and small businesses automatically becomes an administrator. He or she can then grant administrator permissions to other users in the organization, as needed. For more information about administrator permissions in Office 365 for professionals and small businesses, see <a href="https://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-smallbusinesses/ff652566.aspx">Assigning administrator permissions</a>.</p>
<h2>SharePoint Online</h2>
<p>Microsoft SharePoint Online follows an RBAC model. When you sign up for an Office 365 account, you automatically become an Office 365 global administrator and a SharePoint Online Administrator. This global administrator is added to the team site that is automatically created for you during your Office 365 account setup (for example, <a href="https://yourcompany.sharepoint.com/"><em>https://yourcompany.sharepoint.com</em></a>), and is assigned the site collection administrator role.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The SharePoint Online Administrator in Office 365 for enterprises has access to a special administrative site called SharePoint Online Administration. It is from this site that the SharePoint Online Administrator can assign other users as site collection administrators.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A site collection is the root of permissions for all the sites (known as subsites) underneath it. Site collection administrators have permissions to manage SharePoint Online at the site collection level (or top level) of a SharePoint Online site, meaning that their permissions extend to all the content in the site collection that they administer. Also, those permissions are inherited down through all the subsites underneath the site collection, by default. This means changes that site collection administrators make at <em>https://www.contoso.com/</em> are inherited in subsites like <em>https://www.contoso.com/InformationTechnology</em>. It&rsquo;s important to note that a new site collection is its own permissions root. For example, a new top-level site collection created at <em>https://www.contoso.com/sites/Marketplace</em> does not have the same permissions as <em>https://www.contoso.com/</em>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The majority of users of a SharePoint Online site will be <em>non-administrators</em>. They may be assigned to a default SharePoint Online security group (such as Members, Owners, Viewers, or Visitors), or they may be placed in custom groups created by the site owner or site collection administrators. It&rsquo;s preferable to place users into groups, instead of giving them permissions to the site on an individual basis. Granting a large number of users individual permissions creates management issues. For more information, see the following Help topics:</p>

</ul>
<p>Other Office 365 administrator roles (password administrator, billing administrator, and user management administrator) do not play a part in SharePoint Online&rsquo;s security model. SharePoint Online has its own separate security model that will be discussed in detail later in this FAQ.</p>
<h1>&nbsp;</h1>
<h1>Which services do my Office 365 permissions extend to?</h1>
<h2>Office 365</h2>
<p>Think of the Office 365 portal as a dashboard from which you launch the different Office 365 services. Because it&rsquo;s serving as a dashboard, the permissions you set in the Office 365 portal apply only to objects in the Office 365 portal.</p>
<p>Certain administrator roles in Office 365 for enterprises have a corresponding role in Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and Lync Online. The table below describes how these Office 365 administrator roles translate into roles in the different Office 365 services.</p>

<p>* For details about how the global administrator and password administrator roles appear in Exchange Online, see the Exchange Online response to this FAQ question.</p>
<h2>SharePoint Online</h2>
<p>By default, the person who signed up for Office 365 and became a global administrator is going to be your SharePoint Online Administrator. He or she will be included as the primary site collection administrator for the team site that was automatically set up for SharePoint Online. Note that when you add users to your Office 365 account and assign them roles in the Office 365 portal, this does not add them to Exchange Online, Lync Online, or SharePoint Online.</p>

<p>SharePoint Online has its own separate security model and groups, designed specifically to secure sites, lists, and items in SharePoint Online. When you add users to your Office 365 account from the Office 365 portal, those users become available for you to add into SharePoint Online groups within your SharePoint Online team site.</p>
<h1>Who can assign permissions within the different Office 365 services?</h1>
<h2>Office 365</h2>
<p>In Office 365 for enterprises, only global administrators can assign an administrator role (global, billing, password, service, or user management) to other Office 365 users. Within partner companies, only those support agents with delegated full administration permissions can assign administrator permissions to other Office 365 users within a customer&rsquo;s account. For more information about administering Office 365 for enterprises, see <a href="https://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-enterprises/ff637579.aspx">About administering your account</a>.</p>
<p>In Office 365 for professionals and small businesses, only someone with administrator permissions can assign administrator permissions to other Office 365 users. For more information about administering Office 365 for professionals and small businesses, see <a href="https://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-smallbusinesses/gg570299.aspx">About administering your account</a>.</p>
<h2>SharePoint Online</h2>
<p>If you&rsquo;re a SharePoint Online Administrator, site collection administrator, or a site owner, you can manage user permissions. Global administrators in Office 365 for enterprises are automatically SharePoint Online Administrators.</p>
<p>One of the important things that the SharePoint Online Administrator (or a global administrator) can do is designate more site collection administrators for your sites. For SharePoint Online Administrators using SharePoint Online for enterprises, this is done using the Owners button in the SharePoint Online Administration Center.</p>
<p>Site collection administrators and site owners control permissions on a team site through the Site Settings page; however, there are site settings options that are only available to site collection administrators. The site collection administrator can add more site collection administrators via this page, or add site owners by adding a user to the Owners group.</p>
<p>Site owners are granted rights to manage permissions on a specific site. Because sites, lists, and items in SharePoint Online are subject to permissions inheritance by default, those permissions may be inherited by subsites that users create underneath the site where they are site owners; however, a site owner cannot see or make changes to permissions or settings that belong at the site collection level. For more information, see <a href="https://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/manage-administrators-for-a-site-collection-HA102476198.aspx">Manage administrators for a site collection</a><span style="text-decoration: underline;">.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1>Where are permissions assigned?</h1>
<h2>Office 365</h2>
<p>In the Office 365 portal, click Admin &gt; Users (under Management in the navigation pane). On the Users page, select a user, and then click Edit. Click the Settings tab to assign administrator permissions in Office 365 for professionals and small businesses and administrator roles in Office 365 for enterprises. Delegated administration permissions in Office 365 for enterprises are also assigned from the Settings tab. For instructions on how to assign administrator permissions, see the following Help topics:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-enterprises/ff637584.aspx">Assigning administrator roles and delegated administration permissions in Office 365 for enterprises</a></li>

</ul>
<h2>SharePoint Online</h2>
<p>Adding a user to your Office 365 account from the Office 365 portal (either individually or via importing from a .CSV file) does not automatically add that user to a SharePoint Online group. Also, Office 365 uses administrator roles that do not impact user access or security in SharePoint Online, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Billing administrator</li>
<li>Password administrator</li>
<li>Service administrator</li>
<li>User management administrator</li>
</ul>
<p>Site collection administrator permissions are granted under Manage Site Collections via the Owners button. This button remains dimmed until you select a specific site collection. Also, your site collection administrator will see a &ldquo;Site collection administrators&rdquo; link under Site Actions and Site Settings within a team site. This will allow the site collection administrator to add (or remove) users as back-up site collection administrators.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A site collection administrator and a site owner have access to &ldquo;People and Groups&rdquo; and &ldquo;Site permissions&rdquo; links. These links lead to the SharePoint Online groups that will house the majority of users with access to SharePoint Online sites (the non-administrative users). For example, the Members group uses the Contribute role. Users in the Members group have access to the site based on the Contribute role and can therefore view, add, update, and delete list items and documents.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After the users have been added to SharePoint Online groups, permissions inheritance can be addressed. For example, if you create a new subsite, you can decide whether to inherit permissions or not (to do this, when in the Create dialog box, click More Options). Likewise, when in a document library, list, or item, you can manage permissions and assign unique permissions. In this way, you can create a library where all SharePoint Online groups have been removed (that is, had their rights revoked) from an item, leaving only the Members group. The item becomes invisible to everyone but users in the Members group and site collection administrators. For more information, see the following Help topics:</p>

<h2>Office 365</h2>
<p>For a description of the permissions associated with each administrator role in Office 365 for enterprises, see <a href="https://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-enterprises/ff637584.aspx#BKMK_1">View administrator permissions by role</a>.</p>

<h2>SharePoint Online</h2>
<p>A site owner has permissions within a specific site; a site collection administrator has permissions to the site collection and all subsites created underneath it; and the SharePoint Online Administrator has permissions over all site collections. However, the majority of users will not be administrators of any kind; they will be added to SharePoint Online groups. It&rsquo;s important to understand how groups work in SharePoint online. Each group is associated with a role/permission level. These roles/permission levels are made up of individual permissions. The permissions in the following table combine into a role/permission level called Contribute.</p>

<p>Each role/permission level is associated with a group. For example, when the Contribute role is assigned to the Members group, users in the Members group can automatically contribute.</p>
<p>Aside from the default groups and roles/permission levels that SharePoint Online provides by default, you can also use different combinations of permissions to create your own groups to meet your specific needs.</p>
<p>The following table outlines permissions for SharePoint Online Administrators and global administrators, site collection administrators, and site owners.</p>

<h1>How do permissions work in PowerShell?</h1>
<h2>Office 365</h2>
<p>When users connect to Office 365 for enterprises using Windows PowerShell, they have access only to the cmdlets and parameters that are defined by the administrator role that is assigned to them. An RBAC role is basically a list of cmdlets and parameters that define the capabilities of the role. &nbsp;If users attempt to run a cmdlet or a parameter on a cmdlet that isn't available to them, they'll receive an error as if the cmdlet or parameter doesn't exist. For more information about using PowerShell with Office 365 for enterprises, see <a href="https://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-enterprises/hh124998.aspx">Use Windows PowerShell to manage Office 365</a>.</p>
<h2>SharePoint Online</h2>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1>Does Active Directory play a part in determining permissions?</h1>
<h2>Office 365</h2>
<p>Active Directory does not play a part in determining permissions; it is simply a repository for user accounts. In other words, it&rsquo;s a directory store of all users, passwords, and objects. In Office 365 for enterprises, you can synchronize data from your local Active Directory to Office 365 using the Microsoft Online Services Directory Synchronization tool. For more information about Active Directory synchronization in Office 365 for enterprises, see <a href="https://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-enterprises/ff652543.aspx">Active Directory synchronization: Roadmap</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When you install the Directory Synchronization tool, the Directory Synchronization Configuration wizard creates a service account to read from your local Active Directory and write to the Office 365 for enterprises synchronization database. The wizard creates this account using both your local Active Directory permissions and your Office 365 permissions, which you provide as part of setup. To run the Directory Synchronization tool, you must have Administrator permissions for the computer running the Directory Synchronization tool, and you must provide the credentials for an account with Enterprise Administrator permissions on your company's local Active Directory service. This account must have Enterprise Administrator permissions in the Active Directory forest to which the computer running the Microsoft Online Services Directory Synchronization tool is joined. For more information about credentials, see <a href="https://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-enterprises/ff652546.aspx">Active Directory Credentials</a>.</p>

<p>Active Directory doesn&rsquo;t play a part in determining permissions; it is simply a repository for user accounts.</p>

<h1>How does &ldquo;permission inheritance&rdquo; work in SharePoint Online? When do I need to break inheritance and how do I do this?</h1>
<h2>Office 365</h2>
<p>Not applicable</p>
<h2>SharePoint Online</h2>
<p>By default, permissions inheritance flows down to all objects (sites, lists and libraries, and items) from the site collection level. When you create a root site collection (for example, <em>https://fabrikam.sharepoint.com</em>), it&rsquo;s assigned a default set of permissions, permission levels, and groups. Permissions are grouped into a permission level, such as Full Control, which uses all of the available permissions. This permission level is assigned to a SharePoint Online group (such as Owners). Thus, when you add users into these groups, they have only certain permissions (for example, visitors can&rsquo;t delete or edit items, but members can).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These groups automatically inherit down to every object in the site collection. This means that when you create <a href="https://fabrikam03.sharepoint.com/budget"><em>https://fabrikam03.sharepoint.com/budget</em></a> as your root site collection and you do NOT select the &ldquo;Use same permissions as parent site&rdquo; option, the same groups of users are automatically copied there. If you do select unique inheritance, you&rsquo;ll get a fresh, blank copy of the default groups and permission levels in the new site. If you&rsquo;re in a list, and you want to break inheritance on an item, you&rsquo;ll be able to click the drop-down menu for the item and then select Manage Permissions in the menu. For more information, see <a href="https://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/create-or-delete-a-site-collection-HA102476190.aspx?CTT=1">Create or delete a site collection</a>.</p>

      <guid
        isPermaLink="false">https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/cloud_trails/2013/02/08/site-sharing-with-external-users/</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[This feature has evolved quickly, from being limited to 50 external users that could do very little...]]></description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This feature has evolved quickly, from being limited to 50 external users that could do very little to 5000 users&nbsp;that when added to customer groups can do quite a lot.</p>
<p>Still the&nbsp;duration of the run hasn't&nbsp;changed. Once the invitation accepted the external user can do his stuff for 30 days, after that the invitation will expire and a new one will need to be created.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that if you want to track these users activities for your activity history books, there users had better have proper names since their first&nbsp;creation. The reason being is that once created, even if the user changes his name later on&nbsp;it will&nbsp;not help. That first name will be there for good.</p>
<p><br />"Since Deleting the External User from SPO won&rsquo;t make it appear updated in SharePoint Online&nbsp;either. All that does is remove the permissions for that user. It doesn&rsquo;t actually remove them from SharePoint Online Directory Services. So when an administrator&nbsp;recreates the user, technically the user already exists&nbsp;and they are just giving it permissions again. If the administrator&nbsp;wants this much control over a users display name, they should really grant them a SharePoint license. That is their best solution."</p>
<p>Now if you are trying to but is unable to&nbsp;get the Site Sharing feature to work, please, allow me to give you a piece of advice - Try Starting it all Over Again.</p>
<p>By that I mean, turn off External Users site sharing at the&nbsp;Portal level. Be aware that if the site is approaching its usage limit, as in the PNG below, you might encounter some problems farther down the road, when you start to invite your external users:<br /><br /><a href="https://msdnshared.blob.core.windows.net/media/MSDNBlogsFS/prod.evol.blogs.msdn.com/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/00/00/01/58/08/6472.Global-External-Users-Settings.png" original-url="https://blogs.msdn.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-01-58-08/6472.Global_2D00_External_2D00_Users_2D00_Settings.png"><img style="border: 0px currentColor;" title="Manager External Users" src="https://msdnshared.blob.core.windows.net/media/MSDNBlogsFS/prod.evol.blogs.msdn.com/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/00/00/01/58/08/6472.Global-External-Users-Settings.png" original-url="https://blogs.msdn.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-01-58-08/6472.Global_2D00_External_2D00_Users_2D00_Settings.png" alt="Manager External Users" width="395" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Next, turn&nbsp;the feature&nbsp;off&nbsp;in the site collection features list:</p>
<p><a href="https://msdnshared.blob.core.windows.net/media/MSDNBlogsFS/prod.evol.blogs.msdn.com/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/00/00/01/58/08/6813.Site-Collection-Features.png" original-url="https://blogs.msdn.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-01-58-08/6813.Site_2D00_Collection_2D00_Features.png"><img style="border: 0px currentColor;" src="https://msdnshared.blob.core.windows.net/media/MSDNBlogsFS/prod.evol.blogs.msdn.com/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/00/00/01/58/08/6813.Site-Collection-Features.png" original-url="https://blogs.msdn.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-01-58-08/6813.Site_2D00_Collection_2D00_Features.png" alt="Site Collection Administration" width="159" height="240" /></a></p>
<p><a href="https://msdnshared.blob.core.windows.net/media/MSDNBlogsFS/prod.evol.blogs.msdn.com/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/00/00/01/58/08/8105.Site-Collection-Administration.png" original-url="https://blogs.msdn.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-01-58-08/8105.Site_2D00_Collection_2D00_Administration.png"><img src="https://msdnshared.blob.core.windows.net/media/MSDNBlogsFS/prod.evol.blogs.msdn.com/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/00/00/01/58/08/8105.Site-Collection-Administration.png" original-url="https://blogs.msdn.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-01-58-08/8105.Site_2D00_Collection_2D00_Administration.png" alt="" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Then, just log off.</p>
<p>Now log back in and start&nbsp;configuring it over&nbsp;from the beginning, that means reversing the steps described above or Starting it all Over.</p>
<p>As a solution this&nbsp;sounds king of silly, I know, but if I had an euro for every time I saw this work and fix the problem, well, chances are... I would still be writing this post.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
