SharePoint Designer : This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.

You have a SharePoint 2010 Claims Authentication ( FBA ) enabled site and you have a Custom SignIn Page created.
Now, if you try to open the site in SharePoint Designer 2010, you will get this error:This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.
Just change the Custom SignIn Page to Default SignIn Page and it will start working.

After making the desired changes in SPD, do not forget to change it back to your Custom SignIn Page!

    We ran into this same issue, but we need to keep it at Custom Signin Page. Is there a workaround that allows me to keep Custom SigninPage and work with SPD? Any help would be great. Thanks.

    If you add a second zone, you can use the one with the default login page for Designer work, and users can use the one with the custom login page for normal use.

Using External Content Types with Stored Procedures with Input Parameters

Image
You must have tried External Content Types - the exciting new feature in SharePoint 2010 to connect to an external SQL table and provide a list where it lists, creates, updates data straight into the SQL table. People always wonder, how do you get a ECT to work with a Stored Procedure, one that has input parameters. You could do it this way... Step 1: In your SharePoint Designer 2010, create a new external content type Step 2: Connect to your SQL Server and then make sure you see the Routines (your stored procedures must be listed here) Step 3: Rt Click on the Stored Procedure name and create operations for "Read Item" and "Read List" - both are required for the External Content Type's SharePoint list to be created. During both these wizards, in the Input Parameters, your SP's Input Parameter will be listed. Here, you need to create a filter, which sends out it's value to the SP's filter. For example, if your SP's Input Parameter is @Emp...

Multi Factor Authentication, Conditional Access for Power BI

There is always a discussion on protecting Power BI access, enabling MFA, conditional access etc. This is very much possible. Please refer this article. https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/secure-and-audit-power-bi-in-your-organization/ I have attached a PPT with screenshots of how this works (infact, I have taken it from iGrid’s Azure Subscription) Using certain configuration, you can even block access for users, when they are not at work. Infact, you can have such a configuration done for every O365 product. You would require Azure AD Premium P1 for this and different plans are here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-platform/azure-active-directory-pricing This could approximately cost $6/user/month.
