ACA Singapore Conference

I recently had the pleasure of presenting on SharePoint at the 20^th annual American Creativity Conference in Singapore. With over 38 countries represented, it truly was a multicultural experience. For those of you who were able to attend and asked for a copy of the slides please select the following link to view it: Presentation. 

I have uploaded several photos below, additional photos of the trip to Singapore & Indonesia can be found at: http://picasaweb.google.com/yvonneharryman/SingaporeIndonesia2008.

Follow Up on Anonymous Access and Item Level Permissions from SharePoint Connections 07

In the opening session I had a question in regards to item level permissions and anonymous access, for instance if you break inheritance at a folder level to assign unique permissions you will not be able to allow anonymous access from that point on. Tom Rizzo and I had agreed to discuss this offline and we did. A big thanks to Tom for working with me on getting some feedback so quickly! Several of you have asked me about the final outcome so I decided the best way to share out the answer was through my blog. The response from Microsoft of this was:

“I can explain why anonymous access at folders with unique permission was not enabled in O12. Basically, the difficult is in managing the anonymous settings, not in browse time permission check.One goal of managing anonymous access is to make sure that if you block anonymous access at a higher level, all contents from that level below should also be protected. And if you enable anonymous access at a lower level, it should not automatically open up contents on higher level.For example, at web level, the anonymous state has three values: disabled, enabled, open. If it’s disabled, then all lists within the web are off limit to anonymous users, no matter whether the list has unique permissions or not. If it’s enabled, then the web itself (and all lists inheriting permission from the web) is not accessible by anonymous user, but lists with unique permissions MAY be opened to anonymous user.Now, suppose that we want to allow user to manage anonymous permission at folder/item level. Then the parent scope (could be parent folder, parent list, or parent web) should at least “enable” anonymous access. This means we have to implement “enable” semantic at list/folder level. Also, when you disable anonymous access at web/list/folder level, we must also update security setting on all subfolder/items to remove anonymous access. This will scan the docs table.This is the reason that in O12, if you set a folder/item to have unique perm, it automatically sets anonymous permmask to 0.”

I will be speaking about SharePoint in Singapore

Its official I will be speaking at the upcoming International Conference for the American Creativity Association in Singapore in February. For more details about the conference go to http://www.amcreativityassoc.org/2008Conf-overview.html

I will post more details once I find out the specifics of when I will be speaking but the overall theme will be as follows:

Enabling Collaboration within Your Organization to Spark Creativity and Innovation

I will discuss utilizing current technologies, specifically SharePoint, and other online collaboration tools to enable collaboration over the web and around the globe. I will give examples of how to efficiently use these tools to promote effective collaboration, sparking creativity and innovation within your organization.
