Thanks to the replies of Tony for error-when-trying-to-add-a-colleague-to-a-user-profile
Problem was that I actually got an error if I run his code with elevetad privilege, so slightly modified his solution.
using System;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using Microsoft.Office.Server;
using Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
namespace SharePointProject1.VisualWebPart1
{
public partial class VisualWebPart1UserControl : UserControl
{
protected void AddUser_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
using (SPSite siteCol = new SPSite("MySiteUrl"))
{
//Open the Site with the SystemAccount
using (SPSite siteAdmin = new SPSite(siteCol.ID,siteCol.SystemAccount.UserToken))
{
try
{
//This is really needed, else you get an exception
siteAdmin.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true; using (SPWeb spwebAdmin = siteAdmin.OpenWeb())
{
//I didn't test if this 3 line are really needed
SPUser inviter = spwebAdmin.EnsureUser(@"Domain\User1");
SPUser invited = spwebAdmin.EnsureUser(@"Domain\User2");
spwebAdmin.Update();
SPServiceContext ctx = SPServiceContext.GetContext(siteAdmin);
//Get the user'sprofilemanager from the current context and ignore privacy
UserProfileManager upcm = new UserProfileManager(ctx, true);
//Gettheuserprofile
UserProfile userInvitee = upcm.GetUserProfile(@"Domain \User1");
UserProfile userInviter = upcm.GetUserProfile(@"Domain \User2");
//updateinviter
if (!userInviter.Colleagues.IsColleague(userInvitee.ID))
{
Colleague newColleague = userInviter.Colleagues.Create(userInvitee,ColleagueGroupType.General,"General", false,
Privacy.Public);
newColleague.Commit();
userInviter.Commit();
}
//updateinvitee
if (!userInvitee.Colleagues.IsColleague(userInviter.ID))
{
Colleague newColleague = userInvitee.Colleagues.Create(userInviter,ColleagueGroupType.General,"General", false,Privacy.Public);
newColleague.Commit();
userInvitee.Commit();
}
}
}
finally
{
siteAdmin.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
}
}
}
}
}
}
.Hope it works for you guys too
