Leveraging User Profiles and MySites
Dec 17, 2014
In this session, you'll learn how to customize SharePoint to automate My Site provisioning for greater consistency and governance, and to leverage the User Profiles service for easy navigation of user properties.
The speakers will demonstrate several approaches from real customer engagements, including a SharePoint 2013 app and a full-featured, farm-level solution that can scale for a large enterprise.
Come and see how a little custom code can go a long way to organize and manage SharePoint My Sites and consume user properties in different scenarios.

Benefits of the User Profile Service
• Allows centralized location for all user properties
• Aggregation of user properties regardless of source
• Out-of-the-box storage of links to user mysites
• MySite provides individual location to manage and store documents, links, etc.
• Easy consumption of data in code

How does the user profile relate to MySites
• There is a link to the users MySite in the User Profile
• MySite provides user with an interface to edit profile data
• MySite Provides an individual repository for users that is security trimmed
• Aggregation of all user profile properties in one source
User Profile Service Demo Configuration with ADFS and a custom database

Recap
• Use AD/ADFS as primary sync connection
• Use BCS to import additional profile properties
• Use property mapping to aggregate the User Profile
• If using SPD, the primary key will be used as the identifier; modify the BDCM file yourself and use a unique logical key
• Permissions in BDC
Presentation Title | (#)
Troubleshooting
• Connections Disappear: consider restarting the User Profile Synchronization Service
• Random Sync issues: consider restarting the SharePoint Timer Service
• when MySite gets created, user profile gets created if not there
Presentation Title | (#)
Limitations
• BDC cannot be the primary sync connection
• Duplicate profiles
• Once sync connection is deleted, profiles need to be purged via PS

User Profile Service Data Access via REST
• GET• All User Properties for Current User
http://siteurl/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties
• Get Specific Property for Current Userhttp://siteurl/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties?$select=PictureUrl,AccountName
• Get All Properties for Specific Userhttp://siteurl/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(accountName=@v)?@v='domain\username’
• Get Specific Property For Specific Userhttp://siteurl/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetUserProfilePropertyFor(accountName=@v,propertyName='LastName')?@v='domain\username‘
Presentation Title | (#)
User Profile Service Data Access via REST
• POST• Provision User MySite
http://siteurl/_api/SP.UserProfiles.ProfileLoader.GetProfileLoader/GetUserProfile/CreatePersonalSiteEnqueue
• Set Current User’s Profile Picturehttp://siteurl/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/SetMyProfilePicture
• NOTES• Changing user’s profile properties is not implemented in REST or CSOM• Deletion of user profiles is not implemented in REST or CSOM• o365 authentication uses account names like @v='i:0%23.f|membership|
