Use multiple Node.js versions on your computer (and develop a SPFx webpart) Saturday, January 23, 2021 9:00 PM Toni Pohl As developer, it often makes sense to have multiple versions of a framework installed on a single computer. For example, when developing SPFx applications with Node,js v10.x and developing web applications using Angular and Node.js v14.x you need both versions. Thankfully, with Node Version Manager, we can. Developer | English | Microsoft | Open Source | SharePoint | Tools Mediumlink | Permalink | Comments (1) | Post RSS mehr
Azure Logic Apps Toolbox 5-Custom JSON payloads Thursday, January 14, 2021 8:51 PM Christoph Wilfing Did you ever have the problem of pushing different JSON payloads to a logic app and hitting errors due to JSON schema mismatches? The usual HTTP Request forces you to define the JSON Schema at the beginning. For every tiny difference in the later used properties you need to create your own Logic App even if the process is the same. I will show you an example of a single Logic App deciding at runtime which JSON schema to use for decoding the post body payload. Stay tuned!

Working with Azure AD schema extensions and Microsoft Graph Tuesday, December 29, 2020 10:30 PM Toni Pohl Azure Active Directory is Microsoft´s Cloud Identity system that stores user, license, group, apps, device data and more data in a secure way. As developers, we can extend many of these resources with custom extension. This can be useful to store additional metadata, such as a cost center or personal data for a user, for a group or other resource types. Unfortunately, there isn't much documentation on that. Here's how to do this step-by-step for the user resource with Azure AD schema extensions in real life.

Handle failed actions in Azure Logic Apps Tuesday, October 6, 2020 4:00 PM Toni Pohl Today´s a quick tip for users working with Azure Logic Apps.

SPFx App webpart is blocked in various browsers Sunday, September 13, 2020 9:30 PM Toni Pohl Recently, I stumbled across a strange behavior when running self-developed SPFx webparts in various browsers. When the SPO app was deployed, it worked well with Single-Sign-On, but in some browsers, the webpart was blocked. Instead, a grey box saying "login.microsoftonline.com refused to connect." was displayed. I experienced that behavior in Chrome, and Edge, while FireFox, Safarai and Opera showed the webpart. Also, there was a different experience when working in the normal mode, or in the In-Private mode. If that happens to you, check out the solution here.

Get Administrator roles and Privileged Identity Management roles of an Azure AD tenant Thursday, July 16, 2020 5:00 AM Toni Pohl To ensure the security of your Microsoft 365 client, we recommend implementing an appropriate governance and security strategy. An effective measure is to determine the current administrators and their permissions. In this article, we want to identify administrators with permanent roles and administrators who can use roles with Privileged Identity Management (PIM). PIM provides just-in-time privileged access to Azure AD and Azure resources. See how to find all Administrators, including PIM, here.

How user profile picture synchronization works in Microsoft 365 Wednesday, July 1, 2020 9:00 AM Toni Pohl From an historical point of view, various single services such as Exchange and SharePoint Online have been integrated into Office 365, or as it´s named now, Microsoft 365. The platform shows user profile pictures, and syncs that between the services, depending on the service (licenses). Since this can be a little bit confusing, we now have a good article explaining the user profile sync.
