MOSS 2007 - "next 100" link missing from permissions pages
We're running two MOSS 2007 environments that are (should be!) identical for Development and Validation. We don't have Production set up yet to compare... In DEV, when you go to the Site Settings > View All Site Settings > People and Groups > Groups, you see a "1 - 100 >" link at the top right to page to the next 100 groups. In VAL, we do not see that link even though we have more than 100 Groups (the list ends on the first page with the letter "l"). Everything we have looked at between the two systems looks identical, has anyone seen something similar and has a fix? At this point we're waiting until we get the PRD environment set up to compare because we're stumped. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! -Richard.

Try this: Go to Site Actions > Site Settings Under Users and Permissions, click on People and Groups Under Settings, click on List Settings Scroll to the bottom and click on the default view. Scroll to the bottom and look at the settings for Item Limit. Make sure that "Display items in batches of the specified size" is selected. Hope this helpsPlanet Technologies || SharePoint Task Force

I am on the "People and Groups: All Groups" page and when I click "Settings" I only see two things: Edit Group Quick launch Set Up Groups There isn't a "List Settings" option? Am I on the wrong page? Thanks! -Richard.

Sorry, you need to have site collection admin rights to see that. Can you or someone elevate your permissions?Planet Technologies || SharePoint Task Force

OK, so now I am a site collection admin in both our sites, DEVelopment and VALidation. In DEV, when I go to: https://mysiteD.com/_layouts/groups.aspx (People and Groups: All Groups) I see the 1 - 100 > link in the top right of the toolbar. In VAL, when I go to: https://mysiteV.com/_layouts/groups.aspx (People and Groups: All Groups) I see the New and Settings links in the top left of the toolbar, but no 1 - 100 > link. Both servers have the same set of groups. When I try to paste the parameters of the URL from DEV to VAL of course it doesn't work because of the GUID: https://mysiteV.com/_layouts/groups.aspx?Paged=TRUE&p_FSObjType=0&p_Title=L%20%26%20M%20Visitors&p_ID=2423&View=%7b5AE31B60%2dDF24%2d451F%2dA246%2d167757460A92%7d&PageFirstRow=101 If I chop off the View URL parameter and reload the URL in VAL I can get to page 2 (101-200) of the groups on that server: https://mysiteV.com/_layouts/groups.aspx?Paged=TRUE&p_FSObjType=0&p_Title=L%20%26%20M%20Visitors&p_ID=2423&PageFirstRow=101 This is a nasty workaround as you will need to have access in both DEV and VAL and have both screens open to copy and paste the URL parameters after editing it in the VAL link. I did notice that we have Mysites enabled in DEV and not in VAL, perhaps there is something else enabled/disabled in DEV/VAL that I should be looking at? -Richard.

It still sounds like your site in VAL isn't set up to show items in batches. Go into: People and Groups Under Settings, click on List Settings Scroll to the bottom and click on the default view (Most likely "Detail View"). Scroll to the bottom and look at the settings for Item Limit. Make sure that "Display items in batches of the specified size" is selected. Planet Technologies || SharePoint Task Force

Sorry, but I had to unmark that last post as an answer. We don’t have the option to go to Settings > List Settings on the /_layouts/groups.aspx page because it is just not there! One of our developers pointed out that there may be a flag set to FALSE but why would this one environment be different than the others? Edit Allgroups.aspx On or about line 120 or 121, you should see the following code: "javascript:" OnClick='javascript:SubmitFormPost("]]></HTML><ScriptQuote NotAddingQuote="TRUE">< PageUrl/><HTML>?</HTML><GetVar Name="NextPageData"/></ScriptQuote><HTML> <![CDATA[");javascript:return false;'><img src="/_layouts/1033/images/next.gif" border=0 alt="Next"> </A> ]]></HTML></Default></Switch><HTML><![CDATA[</TD></TR> </TABLE>]]></HTML></PagedRecurrenceRowset><RowLimit Paged="TRUE">100 </RowLimit><ViewEmpty><HTML><![CDATA[<SCRIPT> -Richard.

Just an update. We still have the problem. We set up our PRoDuction environment, and it is happening there as well. I don't know why DEV is OK but VAL and PRD are not OK. I am opening up a ticket with MS Support on thi, so hopefully we will get this resolved. -Richard.

_Richard_D_ Have you had any resolution after working with MS Support on this? We are having the same issue, though we are running SharePoint 2010. Charlie

After posting that, dug in a bit further: Since every list has a view, and that's where the organizing occurs when there are more than X items, that's what needed to change. As you discovered, editing for the view of Groups.aspx is hidden, but the view editing page is /_layouts/ViewEdit.aspx?List={LIST GUID}&View={VIEW GUID} Got the GUIDs by viewing the source on the page. They're at about line 785, listed as ctx.listName and ctx.view. Plug those in, change the Item limit property to allow batching, and that should work.

We still have the ticket open with MS. They are able to reproduce the issue and have added the "preventative fix" into the next Service Pack/Patch so it will not happen in the future. However, they are still working on how to fix the already broken sites we have. -Richard.
