There are several enterprise password managers out there like Dashlane and LastPass, which do get expensive. This Github approach is custom code using SPfx web parts and libraries.
SoHo Dragon originally had all this data in wiki sites, which were secure on the site level, but with loose cutting and pasting it wasn’t clear where the ID, passwords, and instructions were.
The advantage of this approach is that it shows services, that were active or not active, and hides restrictive information, like IDs and passwords.

The purpose of the post is to confirm what you are struggling with figuring out and to give you a workaround, which is a bit of a hack.
The core challenge:
The ability to assign a Planner task via code.
What did I figure out?
This can’t be done via traditional .net code with a service account with global admin. Even if you create a service account that has access to the planner group, it will expire at some point/need to be refreshed; so it certainly isn’t a “set and f ..read more

It has everything, from documentation, Q & A, to code samples. All somewhat vetted, accurate working, and searchable (which is key).

This was an article I write on Linkedin
I’ve noticed something extraordinary filling up my inbox recently. It is a new kind of job seeker hoping to start a career in tech.
At first, I was intrigued by the structure, layout, and richness of their resumes, but then I realized a pattern. Each applicant had created a portfolio website, a Medium blog, and a Twitter feed. Few had cover letters, and the applicants were all the product coding schools on a closer look.
About 80% of the submissions appear to be from the “9-to-5 technology tourist” who has clearly been trained to apply pattern ..read more

Content: This session explains the basics of 3D SharePoint spaces and all you need to know to create your own space. It can be challenging to explain a public some complex notions but a 3D Virtual Reality space is so natural that it can be used to easily convey such types of concepts.
With Virtual Reality, you will even be able to interact with many artifacts.
