Remove News Source Tag Color Block to news web part

A bit of context

SharePoint News web part is a fantastic component provided by Microsoft that allows to displays news using multiple layouts. News may be from the current site, some selected sites or recommended sites.

These are great options because sometime, you may have your intranet that displays your corporate news and have displayed news from another site, let's say HR site that want to give information about coming Christmas party.

In the case that you have news from several sites, a news source tag is displayed over each news. Thanks to this tag, users know from where news come from. 




If the news is from an organizational news site, SharePoint will highlight the source tag by styling it with color block. 

Organizational news sites are sites that have been defined in your organization as authorities. In short, news from those sites can be considered as "Official".

This way of showing source tag might be not desired. You will have to revoke the source site to the list of organizational news site to revert to the basic styling.


Solution

You can remove a site from the organizational news site list using the PowerShell command below:

Remove-SPOOrgNewsSite -OrgNewsSiteUrl https://yourTenant.sharepoint.com/sites/HR

This is even working on site that have been defined as SharePoint Home site.

Ensure SharePoint User with Power Automate

Image
 I had to set custom permission and grant access to some users based on their email address. All those users were member of the organization so they exist in our Azure Active directory (AAD). B ut, to set this permission, user must exist in the SharePoint information list too. So I used a function named:  EnsureUser . As its name suggests, this function ensures there is a record of the current user in the user information list in the current Site collection. To call this function with Power Automate, I used the Send HTTP request SharePoint Connector like below. Site address : Your site address. Method : POST URI : _api/web/ensureuser Header :  Accept: application/json;odata=verbose Content-Type: application/json;odata=verbose Body:  { 'logonName': 'i:0#.f|membership|jane.doe@yourDomain.com' } If the HTTP call is successful, the output will  give you: User id (from the user information list) User name (property Title ) User email UPN (User Principal Name) Is admin of cu

When using third party web part or custom web part, there is a property named includeClientSideAssets that push resources to Client Site Assets library of the SharePoint App catalog site. Anytime a user is using one of those web parts, he will retrieve resources from this centralized area.
