View all of an individual's sharepoint permissions in Sharepoint 2007 - sharepoint-2007

Is there a way to view all of an individual's permissions in an entire Sharepoint 2007 environment ie, all sites, lists, libraries, etc? I know I can do this with Groups by selecting View Group permissions under Advanced Permissions. How do I with Individuals? I don't what and where the previous ITs gave users permissions to and we have thousands of areas and several hundred users. This is too much for a site by site verification. Thanks

I use Access Checker WebPart for MOSS 2007.

How to Embed a PowerBI Tile in a Rails app? (and apply filter to it)

I'm struggling with this since a week... I have tried so many things, read so many documentations (walkthrougsh), I can't find any solutions and I have lost the clarity. I really need your help.
I have created a simple Rails app.
I have a Power BI account and a Azure account.
I'm using an example set of data on PowerBI (Retail Analysis Sample).
I want my users to signin on my app (through devise), then access to some pages and see embedded PowerBI Tiles (or report, or dashboard maybe). Then I want them to be able to filter the results. A client-side example is https://microsoft.github.io/PowerBI-JavaScript/demo/filters.html.
I want to be able to do the same.
I'm lost with all the client id, secret, ressource uri, ressource url, ...
What solution/walkthrough must I use?
Thank you so much for your time

New tile API allows to integrate content from a user’s Power BI
account into application UI for tiles that are on a user’s
dashboards. You can leverage this to add personalized BI content from
your user’s Power BI account into your application.
See documentation
A Sample application
You may want to look into Power Bi Embedded here. This will allow you to control who can see what content from within your application without having to authenticate with the Power Bi service. Power Bi Embedded is an azure service that allows you to upload pbix files which are then subsequently available for view by using an "Access key" to get a token to view the report. I know it works well for displaying "Reports," I am not sure about just showing "Tiles." They recently released RLS and some new Javascript SDK for more advanced features like filtering, check that here.
Hope this helps.

SharePoint 2013 - How to mask a url within a content query web part

I am currently building a Sharepoint site in SharePoint 2013 that has sites for both internal and external purposes. The "internal" sites are accessible to our development teams, while the "external" sites are used to share content with clients and control their access.
I need to have the external sites display document / content lists that live in libraries either in the internal sites or their sub-sites. I am currently doing this through content query web parts. I am able to get things working functionally, but the URL of the displayed items exposes site structure and hierarchical information that I do not want to make visible to these external visitors.
Is there any way to mask or alias the URLs? The site's organizational structure must stay intact in order to maintain its permission inheritance. In essence, the external sites should act a landing page for our clients with the purposes of promoting collaboration.
You could use short URLS or document IDs (for documents - for lists see below). For short URLS:
https://www.codeplex.com/site/search?query=short%20url&ac=4
Otherwise, you have a tedious task, involving code writing. Our solution was to write webparts for showing it and put in URL parameters the GUID of the list and the ID of the item. You could put the GUID of the (sub) site but the ulr will be too long (so what????).
Yet, exposing the structure of information wasn't our concern - our concern was the structured way of showing it.

Cannot move Webparts

I have a page in a sharepoint site. When it is edited (Site Actions -> Edit page), there are various webparts in different webpart zones available. I drag and drop some webparts from one webpart zone to another. This happens perfectly in some browsers (IE 9 Compatibility view) but this doesn't work in many of the browsers at all.
It gets moved to a different zone, but doesn't retain that position when the page is published again.
I tried this in Chrome as well as firefox, IE9 (normal mode) but this doesn't work anywhere.
Is this a general issue with Sharepoint?
Does it have anything to do with webparts hosted in those pages?
From what I've learned from a Microsoft employee, who demos SharePoint to clients in their Atlanta campus data center, enterprise support for cross browser compatibility didn't come along until SharePoint 2010.
Notice, that the Microsoft Communicator colored presence status also doesn't show up next to a username in non-IE browsers in MOSS 2007. Also, Firefox has a terrible experience in the rich textbox field.

Lifetime management of lists and documents in Sharepoint

Can I do the following with SharePoint 2007:
1) Create lists (records) and document libraries with content that is in force for a certain amount of days and after that, they automatically expire? How?
2) When searching for words in a SharePoint site where there are lists and documents, SharePoint displays results similar to Google, would it be possible that Sharepoint tell me what documents are no longer current? How?
Thank you very much.

How to show a list of sites the current user can access?

I'm working on MOSS 2007 and I want to build a sharepoint webpart that can list all the sites (in the same SPfarm) visible to the current user. What I can think of is:
Use FullTextSqlQuery class to search for the sites, but is it possible;
Build an external application that crawls the user-sites information by using the Sharepoint Object-Model. The webpart can then use this information.
Is there any simple solution?
Any idea will be appreciated. Thanks!
Please take a look here: Talk to SharePoint Through its Web Services at "Example 3"
You'll need to write some managed (.net) code.
SharePoint creates site maps by default. Unless you have turned this off, you can get one from a site by appending /_layouts/viewlsts.aspx to the site URL.
