CoPilot in Visual Studio Code is great. CoPilot in Visual Studio, is barely usable.

As a New Englander, it saddens me that "steak tips" aren't a thing in the West.

Pellet Stoves just aren't economical anymore. On a related note, anyone in Colorado looking for a pellet stove?

Poor leadership isn’t some abstract problem. It shows up in missed deadlines, burned-out people, and broken trust. Once a team stops believing things can be different, you’ve already lost more than deadlines.

I've been fishing a lot (like, alot alot) on my 3WT Echo Carbon XL & Orvis Battenkill Click this summer. It's by far my favorite rod combo I have. It's so much fun on the water! #flyfishing #orvis #echo

This so much. Sometimes process reveals culture. Tools may even amplify it. They are just mirrors. If you don't like what they show, the mirror isn't the problem.

Time off has been refreshing. It’s given me space to reflect on what’s made past teams and projects meaningful Trust keeps coming up. Being trusted for your expertise, whether leading or being led -- creates space to care, to build, and to do your best work Still on sabbatical. Still exploring

I'm thinking of starting a business where I just come in and write auth code for companies struggling to do it. Having trouble getting OAuth to work in your Apps for M365? Having trouble integrating third party auth flows into your applications? I'll come in, write some code, and leave. Auth4U!

+1 Gemini worked! 4o, Claude 3.5 both failed to generate unique guids for me.

Super Interesting. It's just start at a seed value and just iterating over and updating each part of the sequence.

Beau Cameron @beaucameron.com · 26/05/2025

I asked Github Copilot (4o) to generate me a unique guid... this is what it generated. 8h9i0j1k-2l3m-4n5o-6p7q-8r9s0t1u2v3w Apparently it just thinks a Guid is a number followed letter. Anyone seeing similar?

A reminder to my friends in software. It's a bad idea to do a deployment on Fridays. It's an even worse idea to do a deployment on a Friday on a Holiday Weekend. You WILL NOT interrupt my shenanigans. I have Pork Butt to smoke!!

I'll give people the benefit of the doubt. These folks aren't SharePoint experts, and as we know SharePoint is quite nuanced. However, I would have preferred a bit more validation before a post and subsequently being reposted many times on LinkedIn.

❗ This is why SharePoint consultants always put a heavy emphasis on SharePoint Permissions. Many organizations aren't aware of how SharePoint permissions work which often leads to data leaks into Organizations.

210

Beau Cameron @beaucameron.com · 22/05/2025

5. Based on the all the above, it's safe to say that CoPilot is working as intended. It is executing on behalf of the user and using the permissions the user has. It did not access content the user didn't already have access to.

110

Beau Cameron @beaucameron.com · 22/05/2025

4. "This also provided a method to circumvent the download restrictions of the “Restricted View” privilege" This circumvented nothing. Because the user has proper permissions to view the contents of the file as i noted. They could already do this themselves had the SharePoint preview not loaded.

110

Beau Cameron @beaucameron.com · 22/05/2025

3. If the user didn't have permission to view the file, they wouldn't have seen it in the SharePoint listing. SharePoint permissions don't work the way the blog post is describing. If the user actually didn't have permissions, it would not have visible in the library in the first place.

110

Beau Cameron @beaucameron.com · 22/05/2025

2. User has "Restricted View" This gives the user the ability to read the file, just not download the file. Ergo, they have permission to get access to the contents of the file. SharePoint failed to load to preview, not because of "Restricted View". It just failed.

110

Beau Cameron @beaucameron.com · 22/05/2025

1. "Notably, in this case all methods of opening the file in the browser had been restricted." No. It wasn't restricted. This is common in SharePoint Online, can happened with any file for any number of reasons (corruption, file type, etc). Look, I'm a Global Admin and I can't preview a file.

110

Beau Cameron @beaucameron.com · 22/05/2025

This post is very misleading. The user had "Restricted View"—they could access the file. SharePoint’s preview failed due to a rendering error, not permissions. CoPilot acted within the user’s rights. The issue isn’t a security gap, it’s a misunderstanding of how SharePoint works.
