RE: Sharepoint approval

Hi Guitarded,

Thanks for posting here.

From the description, it is sharepoint related issue. I would like to
suggest that you post the question into Sharepoint newsgroup. You can visit
the following link to sharepoint newsgroup:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/newsgroups/server/sharepoint.mspx

The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most
dedicated pool of respondents, and other partners who the newsgroups
regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction
with us. Also, this is to make sure that the responders can better track
the problem. Thank you for your understanding.

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Jenny Wu (MSFT)

Jenny,

I have racked my brain over this. If I change the user permissions to
anything higher than "User" than everything automatically get's approved
no
matter what I change in the User permissions in Sharepoint. If I have
anything less than a "Power User" When I try to add anything to the
Intranet
page a logon screen pops up and will not accept the user name and password
as
eligible to logon. What else could be going on other than what you have
previously listed?

Hi Dave,

Thanks for posting here!

For your description, I understand that after you upgraded the server to
SP1, although you have set document library to require content approval,
the uploaded documents are approved automatically.

Content approval allows you to create a list or library where any items
or
files that are submitted by users are not visible to all site users
until
the items or files have been approved by a site administrator or a user
belonging to a site group with the Manage Lists right. Users can view a
list of the items that they submit and check approval statuses.
Adminstrators and users with the Manage Lists right use the
Approve/reject
items view of the list or library to set an item or file to approved,
rejected, or pending. They can also enter comments regarding their
decisions.

Submissions by site administrators or users with the Manage Lists right
are
automatically approved. However, other administrators or users with the
Manage Lists right can still reject the items.

I would like to suggest you check the following settings to try to find
cause:

1. Please check if your team members are site administrators or users
with
the Manage Lists right.
2. Please check if you have anonymous access set for this site and have
specified that anonymous has Contributor rights (default is Reader) or
that
in your case "Reader" has been amended to allow it to "add content".
3. Please check the status of these uploaded documents. In the document
library, hover over a document and click the down arrow to bring the
drop
down menu, and then select "View Properties". Is "Approved" displayed in
the "Approval Status" area?

If the document status is "Approved", most likely, the owner submitting
the
documents has site administrator permission or at least the Manage Lists
right. In this case, the documents are automatically approved. Would you
double check the permissions of the users and the groups containing them?

In case the Approval status of the documents are not "Approved", the
content approval feature should be working fine. Please note that the
following users can still see the documents before approval.
- Adminstrators
- Users with the Manage Lists right
- The user that submit the documents.

If all these settings are correct, I suggest you create a new user
account
and with limited permissions to test the feature, how about the result?

Hope above information help! If you have any question on the issue
please
let me know. I am happy to be assistance of you!

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Jenny Wu

I am having a problem with share point approvals. This worked fine
before
installing SBS SP1. Now when anyone submits a document it
automatically
is
approved. I have verified that the flag for approval required is still
set.
I have lowered all permissions to reader but it still approves all
documents.


Any ideas?

Thks
