At the heart of Dubai Internet City, UAESPUG delivered the first session in Dubai on Developing Apps for SharePoint 2013 in Microsoft's auditorium.

The event proved to be a success with an overwhelming attendance of more than 60 professionals and enthusiasts, representing the IT industry in the UAE. 
The two co-speakers, Usama Wahab Khan and Jamil Haddadin did an amazing job of introducing the topic clearly and effectively. They did their best to ensure that everyone was able to grasp the major concepts required in developing SharePoint 2013 apps. 

The feedback received after the session on different aspects (presentation, topic, speakers etc.) was very encouraging and points of improvement were noted for even better events in the future. 

Success of the event is contributed to the great efforts done by the speakers and, more importantly, the lively audience who took their time to attend and participate with their ideas and discussions. 

In addition, the event could never have been a success if it wasn't for the great team work behind the scenes to prepare and organize the session. Finally, we are grateful to have Microsoft host the event at their auditorium.

Great Team, Great Effort.

​Communicating the Business Value of SharePoint to Executives by Naomi Moneypenny Executives are often consumers of business intelligence but not contributors. It can be daunting when faced with how to prove the business value of deploying SharePoint or how to obtain funding and stakeholder sponsorship to get additional resources assigned to maintain, manage and leverage SharePoint and integrate it with other systems. Learn from a fellow CTO how to generate the business cases and ROI that your executives are looking for. In addition, you'll learn how to position SharePoint's capabilities in the spectrum of IT's project portfolio from big data to social software so that existing investments are best leveraged.

​Automate SharePoint 2013 Variations using PowerShell by Mai Omar Desouki SharePoint Variations gives a Multilingual SharePoint sites which allows copying sites and content from the source variation label to one or more target variation labels.

​The Ultimate SharePoint Infrastructure Best Practices Session by Michael Noel There are a myriad number of approaches to design and architecture of SharePoint servers, not all of which are ideal, however.  Since the design of a SharePoint environment is subsequently critical to its performance and functionality, it is critical to understand what are the best practices around SharePoint infrastructure design. SharePoint architects need to be aware of the various installation options, the differences between SharePoint search architecture models, how and when to virtualize SharePoint, and ways to optimize the SQL Database tier of SharePoint. This session goes right to the heart of the matter, providing for physical and virtual architecture guidelines and specific configuration settings that can immediately be used to construct best practice SharePoint 2010 environments.  In addition, a high level look at architecture changes in SharePoint 2013 and new models at the data tier in SQL 2012 are outlined.  Real world advice obtained from the presenter’s experience designing hundreds of production SharePoint farms is provided, and the installation options are discussed frankly.

​​Enterprise Social: Yammer & SharePoint Integration by Naomi Moneypenny Microsoft paid over $1bn to acquire Yammer, but what does that mean for enterprise productivity? How does that platform integrate together with SharePoint and what is the vision going forward? Many companies are still skeptical of the value of ‘social’ and how it can benefit their bottom line. In this session, Naomi will share an internal case study of Yammer and SharePoint 2010 use, and we’ll do some myth debunking and discuss pros/cons of adopting social/collaboration systems into organizations while still maintaining the integrity of SharePoint as a central repository. We’ll also delve into considerations as to how to compare out of the box SharePoint 2013’s new social features to social collaboration platforms.

​Optimizing SharePoint Landing Page by Zeddy Iskandar The Landing Page is the first page users will hit. This page usually is not for collaboration, as such things like the Ribbon may not be needed. In this session, we will share tips & tricks that we used when we developed a SharePoint site for a public bank.

 Allots of People ask Question’s on MSDN SharePoint 2013 forums. how they can host app on their public site. They want to use App Modules for Public facing site which have anonymous right or current user does not have permissions to. something like Elevate Privileges in developer`s term Elevate Privileges in App Module.  What i think Many developer start working API by small tutorials , sample code ,HOL and didn't understand what SharePoint 2013 New API is doing. new App Module is away with normally impersonation confusion and make it very clear for developers there is  no impersonation capability in the SharePoint 2013  API . so if  Elevate Privileges ,impersonation is not there how can  get thing to be done?. SO answer is the "App Only Policy".

The App Only Policy

In a Scenario App have to some work where current user does not have Permission. We will use “The App Only Policy”. When user did not provide any Kind of credential. An Oath access token is present but does not contain user information.  than we will evaluated the  permissions based App instead of user.

Authorization in SharePoint 2013 is divided in to two types of Entities.

 1st Permission for users.

2nd Permission for Apps.

App authorization policies types

 User-only policy—This user-only policy is the authorization policy that was always applied in SharePoint 2010. When the user-only policy is used, the authorization checks take into account only the user identity. An example of when this policy is enforced is when the user is accessing resources directly without using the app.

User + app policy—When the user + app policy is used, the authorization checks take into account both the user identity and the app identity. In particular, when this policy is used, authorization checks succeed only if both the current user and the app have sufficient permissions to perform the action in question.

An example of when this policy is used is when a SharePoint site has an embedded IFRAME that links to a Office Store app, and the app calls back to SharePoint to access SharePoint resources on behalf of the user. That is, when a Office Store app, which does not run in SharePoint Server, wants to act on behalf of the user to get access to the user's resources.

App-only policy—When the app-only policy is used, the content database authorization checks take into account only the app identity. In particular, when this policy is used, an authorization check succeeds only if the current app has sufficient permissions to perform the action in question, regardless of the permissions of the current user (if any).

Oath requires to generate App token. So App- Only Policy can only be used for  Auto Hosted Apps or  Provider Hosted Apps.  

SharePoint hosted Apps cannot use App-only policy.

To request  app to  use App-only policy  your app need to add attribute called “AllowAppOnlyPolicy”  in tag node of AppPermissionRequests with true value.             User Must be Site Collection Administrator for allow use of the app-only policy.
