QUICK NOTE: Although you can control Developer Dashboard with PowerShell to get more control an easy fast solution is to just use site?developerdashboard=true in your URL after your turn the developer dashboard on.

More on permissions

The on demand setting is really the optimal setting in my opinion.  Here’s what it gives you:  once it is set to on demand, site collection admins can turn it on or off.  When they do, it only turns it on or off for that particular site collection.  Equally as good, only the person that turned it on sees the output – your everyday users will not see the output from developer dashboard so this becomes a really valuable troubleshooting tool.  Even more interesting is that if you have multiple site collection admins and one of them toggles it on, the output is displayed only for that person, not for every site collection admin.   Want more flexibility?  Well you can even change the permissions that are required to see the dashboard output.  The DeveloperDashboardSettings has a property called RequiredPermissions.  You can assign a collection of base permissions (like EditLists, CreateGroups, ManageAlerts, or whatever you want) to it; only those people that have those permissions will be able to see the output.  So you have a great deal of flexibility and granularity in deciding when to use it the dashboard output and who will see it.

260 URL Limit

URL path length restrictions
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff919562.aspx

Interesting quote from above

SharePoint Foundation 2010 truncates the URL source parameter if the total URL length to be passed to Internet Explorer is more than 1950 bytes. The source parameter is a reference to a previously visited page. The result of the truncation of the source parameter is that the user will be referred back to default location rather than the location specified in the source parameter.
Other parameters, such as sort orders, root folder parameters, and views are not truncated.

SharePoint Document Security


UPDATE: The sharepoint guys have posted a fix to this issue server-side.

The pop-up window has the option to “Use my local drafts folder.” For many users, using this option can cause issues with the check-in and check-out process.

To change the drafts folder default options, open Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010 and go to the Word Options (Office Button > Word Options). Under the “Save” section, change the “Save checked-out files to” option to “The web server” (2007) or “The Office Document Cache” (2010). This will change the default of the “Use my local drafts folder” to not checked
