Hide View All Site Content Link

Scenario
We need to hide View All Site Content link for all site users except for people who have Manage Web permissions. Many of my clients wants this to be done, because when users have access to the Web site they usually see this link.

Solution
Apply security trimming for this link. I have found the following article Hide the "View All Site Content" Quick Launch Link which is exactly what I needed.

That's the flow:

1. Open SharePoint Designer -> open the Web site you want to edit -> browse to the master page you want edit -> open Design mode of the master page and select the control which displays View All Site Content link:

It's an SPSecurityTrimmedControl.

2. Change your current mode to Code:

3. In the code view you should see the selected code for this control:

4. Change the PermissionsString attribute value to "ManageWeb":

5. Save, check in and approve your master page if necessary and enjoy.

Setting up External Content Type for SQL Server database using SQL Server authentication - SharePoint 2010 Foundation

This post is a follow up on the issues that I have got setting up External Content Type (ECT) on SharePoint 2010 Foundation that was going to connect to remote SQL Server database for information. I cannot use my SharePoint user accounts to access SQL Server. According to the information I have discovered ECT and Business Connectivity Services are available in the SharePoint 2010 Foundation, but there are some issues if you want to use authentication methods in your external connections that are different from Windows Identity or Current User Identity. This is because there is no Secure Store Service in SharePoint 2010 Foundation which serves as an impersonation hub and is only available in SharePoint 2010 Server edition. The issues are coming from the fact that you can actually create ECT in SharePoint Designer 2010 providing just Secure Store ID and system would ask you for credentials and here you go, but when you try to use your ECT in External Lists or as a lookup columns you w...

Version control in Office 365

When working with documents in SharePoint or Office 365, quite often files are named like "Project-Budget-Report-v1.55", "Project-Budget-Report-v1.56", "Project-Budget-Report-v2.0" etc. and stored in the same folder or library. This is to achieve version control from the user perspective. This is not a good idea for the following reasons: Storing redundant information Confusion which version to use when Browsing though many documents to see what information/metadata changed if required Version numbering should be automated, no time spent by the document author There is a better way to manage versions of documents and to use tools already available to us in Office 365. File name should not contain the version number in it. Every time you upload a document with the same name the SharePoint will increment the version number for you automatically in the current set up of our Office 365 site we use for customer documentation. Then to manage the...
