$spWeb = $spSite | Get-SPWeb

# we add a new Permission Level name "MyCustomPermission" to the site, which will allow users to only add new items (no editing or removing)

# check to see if the permission your are going to add is already existing.. if null proceed

if($spWeb.RoleDefinitions["MyCustomPermission"] -eq $null)

{

$spRoleDefinition = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPRoleDefinition

$spRoleDefinition.Name = "MyCustomPermission"

$spRoleDefinition.Description = "Can only Add items"

$spRoleDefinition.BasePermissions = "ViewListItems, AddListItems, Open, ViewPages"

Create document library using Power Shell with xml data as input

We had a business requirement to automate Creating of Same document library's, Folders and fields inside that in more 110 sites which will be repeated for year.

Hence we created an xml file with all the document library names and folder names and fields inside that .

Powershell script will read the xml file contents and based on that we are creating the folder structure in document library.

PowerShell Script :

clear

# Add the Powershell snapin,

if ((Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null)

{

Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"

}

# Load the SharePoint Assembly

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")

# Read the Site Url from User

$url = Read-host " Enter Name of the Site to Add Document Library"

$listTemplate = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListTemplateType]::DocumentLibrary

# xml file contains list of documentlibrary's , folders, fields to be created in the site

[xml]$file = Get-Content "C:\XmlDocumentLibFolderStructure.xml"

function CreateDocLibs()

{

#Check if the site exists

$OpenWeb = Get-SPWeb $url -ErrorVariable err -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -AssignmentCollection $assignmentCollection

if($err)

{

write-host " Site is Not Exisiting Kindly contact Administrator"

}

else

{

write-Host "Site " $url " exists"

}

foreach( $ls in $file.Structure.Lists.List)

{

# Creating Document Library

Write-Progress " Please wait writing Document Library" $ls.ListName

$checkDoclib=$OpenWeb.Lists[$doclibname]

# Check if the Document is null i.e document libary is not created.

if($checkDoclib -eq $null)

{

$OpenWeb.Lists.Add($doclibname,"",$listTemplate)

Write-Progress "Created Document Library successfully"

$lib.Fields.AddFieldAsXml($fldXml,$true,[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAddFieldOptions]::AddFieldToDefaultView)

$lib.Update()

$spFieldTypeDocNum =[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldType]::Text

$lib.Fields.Add("Doc No",$spFieldTypeDocNum,$false)

$lib.Update()

# get the folder option value from " XmlDocumentLibFolderStructure.xml"

Write-Progress "Creating Folder Structure ........ Please wait..."

sleep 1

$foldername = $file.Structure.FolderOptions.Folder

$folder1.Update()

# If Document Library is Already Existing skip it
