O365 CSOM - AuthorizationFilter is not working.

[maratbakirov]

Hello,

Brief description

Please provide short description covering two areas:

• expected behaviour
• actual behavior

SharePoint API

Which version of SharePoint runtime do you use?

• CSOM / SSOM / O365?
  https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.SharePointOnline.CSOM/16.1.9021.1200?_src=template

SPMeta2 API

Which version of SPMeta2 do you use? Use the following code snippet for your convenience. It shows all the details on SPMeta2 and SharePoint runtime used.

https://www.nuget.org/packages/SPMeta2.CSOM.Foundation-v16/1.2.140?_src=template

var info = SPMeta2Diagnostic.GetDiagnosticInfo();

SPMeta2 model

Optionally, provide SPMeta2 model in which issue occurs. That helps to identify the issue and provide the solution as far as we can.

/// your SPMeta2 definitions and model here

we have web parts that we add to the page. seems that webparts AuthorizationFilter property has been ignored and we have to develop a workaround like this - i did not see a similar code in the spmeta2 csom sources:

    public static void FixAudienceTargeting(Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File file, 
        SPMeta2.Definitions.WebPartDefinition webPartDefinition)
    {
        var ctx = file.Context;
        var lwpm = file.GetLimitedWebPartManager(PersonalizationScope.Shared);
        var webParts = lwpm.WebParts;
        ctx.Load(webParts);
        ctx.ExecuteQueryWithIncrementalRetry();
        foreach(var wp in webParts)
        {
            ctx.Load(wp.WebPart, x => x.Title);
        }
        ctx.ExecuteQueryWithIncrementalRetry();
        var theWebPart = webParts.ToArray().Where(x => x.WebPart.Title == webPartDefinition.Title).First();
        theWebPart.WebPart.Properties["AuthorizationFilter"] = webPartDefinition.AuthorizationFilter;
        
        theWebPart.SaveWebPartChanges();

        file.Update();
        ctx.ExecuteQueryWithIncrementalRetry();
    }
