What to do when navigation fails?
harmon.ie complies with the permission levels defined by the SharePoint administrator and allows you to view documents depending on your user’s permissions. harmon.ie hides SharePoint subsites for which you have limited or no access.
Browsing to a certain location may fail with an error in these cases:
- You do not have sufficient permissions to access this location.
- The credentials for the SharePoint site have changed.
In these cases harmon.ie suggests to:
- Browse to ‘SharePoint (local files)’, if such were defined. Click the button to view all offline locations.
- Update the credentials for the site. Click the button to change the credentials for the site. harmon.ie then suggests setting the new credentials for all the registered sites from the same domain.
