R – Sharepoint: How to set the permission to edit WSS user profile

importprofilesharepointwss

I'm running a SharePoint Application on a MOSS 2007 with a form based user authentication without using the MySite feature. So all the settings on the SSP administration site which only concern the user profile on the MySites should normally not affect the user profile of the application as these should be managed from WSS.

But where could I define the settings for the WSS user profiles? At the moment a user can only edit the attributes in his profile which are listed as additional columns for the application's user list (WebsiteAction –> WebisteSettings –> Users and Groups –> All users –> ListSettings). So all other attributes like first, surname, info, title etc. are partly imported form our identity directory (LDAP) but are not editable for the users.

So are there any options to define which of the attributes should be editable for the users and which one should not be? It would also be interesting if there are any options to define which LDAP attributes are mapped to the which WSS profile attribute.

Bye,
Flo

Those things are handled by your shared service provider. So gå there then:

User profiles and properties -> View profile properties

You can also do all sorts of other stuff regarding profiles, mysites, etc there.

SharePoint/WSS: Modify “created by” field

Create a document library to hold the resume's. Then give the HR department (SharePoint User group) "read / write all" permissions on the library, the give everyone else read / write your own" rights. Create a Content Type called "Resume" based on the out-of-the-box Document content type. Then add a field that contains the Employee (SPUser field) whom the resume concerns to the content type (and any other fields required, i.e. name, address etc.). Have HR fill this in correctly when creating the listitem (make the fields required).

Then, write a itemeventreceiver bound to the content type you just created and override the ItemUpdated event.

The code would be something like the following:

public override void ItemUpdated(SPItemEventProperties properties)
{
  SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate
  {
    using (SPWeb web = properties.OpenWeb())
    {
       web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true; 
       var item = web.Lists[properties.ListId].GetItemById(properties.ListItemId);
       if (item != null)
       {
         if (item.Fields.ContainsField("Employee"))
         {
           item["Author"] = item["Employee"]; 
           // Author is the internal name of the Created by field, 
           // always use Internal Names!
           DisableEventFiring();
           item.SystemUpdate();
           EnableEventFiring();
         }
       }
     }
   });
}

you can bind the ItemEventReceiver using a FeatureReceiver to the content type like so:

SPContentType docCt = web.ContentTypes[new SPContentTypeId("CONTENTYPE ID GOES HERE")];
docCt.EventReceivers.Add(SPEventReceiverType.ItemUpdated, "ASSEMBLYNAME, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=TOKEN", "FULLY QUALIFIED CLASSNAME");
docCt.Update();

R – Account doesn’t sync with AD – MOSS – WSS User Profile sync

Take a look at the stsadm command migrateuser:

We have seen this before at my current client where some women will change their name due to marriage and the profile import will work fine for some but fail for the other. This command typically will fix that issue.
