Learn how to fix issues with Web Application policies during migration.
In the source environment, there are typically discrete web applications for Team, Portal, Partner, and MySite (OneDrive). SharePoint Server allows the use of web application policies to grant or deny blanket-level permissions to entire web applications. These permissions override any permissions set at the site collection, site, list/library, or item level.
The target environment uses a single web application to host all site collections.
We do not currently offer a permission feature that applies uniquely to specific root site names and all child items together.
None of the web application policies are migrated to the target environment.
Important
Any site that is configured as "No Access" (locked), in SharePoint will be skipped. To see a list of locked site collections see the Locked Sites scan output.
Web application policies are not migrated. Some alternatives at this time include:
-
Change administrative procedures to manage all permissions at the site collection level (this can be performed via Tenant Admin) instead of using web application policies.
-
Use licensing to grant or limit specific capabilities to specific users and groups.
Ensure the alternative options function correctly during the User Acceptance Testing phase.
