An amazing find: List user group permissions from Client machine SharePoint.

Have you ever thought of searching for a user account in an enormous list of SharePoint permission groups? Nightmare isn’t it?

I bumped into this amazing utility which lists the SharePoint groups for a user account in a SharePoint site collection. Thanks to the black knight!

Run it off a command line from any client computer and you do not absolutely need to be on a server.

Parameters:

ListUsersGroups

Site-url: Url of site collection including protocol (example http://localhost)

username: Full username including domain (example MOSSWORK\user)

URL: http://www.theblackknightsings.com/ListAllSharePointGroupsAUserBelongsTo.aspx

"Sign in as Different User" menu option is missing in SharePoint Server 2013

Problem Description:

In Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013, you notice that the Sign in as Different User menu option is missing.

It’s really a shocked that this option has been completely removed from SharePoint Server 2013 but after debugging, I am able to find out workaround on this issue and I am pretty much sure that this will helps you to overcome this problem.

Workaround:

1. Access the SharePoint site by using the following URL:

http://<site url>/_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true

2. Manually add the Sign in as Different User menu option to the SharePoint site. To do this, follow these steps:

· Locate and then open the following file in a text editor:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server

Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES\Welcome.ascx

· Add the following element before the existing "ID_RequestAccess" element:

<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate runat="server" ID="ID_LoginAsDifferentUser"

Text="<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_loginasdifferentuser%>"

Description="<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_loginasdifferentuserdescription%>"

MenuGroupId="100"

Sequence="100"

UseShortId="true"

Save the file.
