Overview
In Office 365 and OneDrive for Business, a user can share a file or folder with another user, which will create metadata that populates a view in the user's OneDrive for Business account. This is called Shared With Me, and it will provide links to the content. This allows a user to easily navigate to all the content available to them. When DryvIQ uses CSOM calls to set permissions on content, this metadata is automatically populated; no additional configuration is needed. This functionality cannot be turned off in CSOM. For consistency, it also cannot be turned off when using the migration API (batch mode).
Expected Behavior
When Add permissions ("permissions": "add") or Prefer permissions on the source ("permissions": "diff") is defined for a job, the following behavior is expected for the Share With Me feature:
Shared With Me view on OneDrive for Business should be populated with files that are shared with the user across other OneDrive for Business accounts.
Shared With Me view on OneDrive for Business should be populated from files shared via team sites on the main SharePoint instance.
Permissions should be correct on the shared files.
User should be able to share the files/folders with additional users through the OneDrive for Business/SharePoint User Interface.
Shared With Me should be populated from libraries created by DryvIQ when it shares the files.
Preservation Policy
Permission preservation policy determines how you want permissions to be applied with your job execution(s). There are 3 options available.
Setting | API Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
Disable Preserve item Permissions | none | No permissions will be passed from source to destination. This is the default. |
Add Permissions | add | The current permissions existing on impending transfers (on files or folders) will be preserved as they are transferred on both the source and the destination. This is the recommended setting. |
Prefer the permissions on Source | diff | This will reconcile permissions with the source, which will remove permissions from the destination if they do not match the source. This will keep things in sync if the destination folder levels more permissions than the source. This is a good option for sync jobs that are constantly moving back and forth to keep everything as intended. |
The Date Shared and Shared By column will not be populated at this time.
