Following documents on behalf of users in a common and obligatory task in enterprise social scenarios. Think of onboarding procedures: each employee must follow the “company rules” document, and get notified when this document periodically updates.<\/p>\n

This is not possible with SharePoint Client Object Model, bit it is an easy exercise with SharePoint Server Object Model.

Following documents is not security trimmed! That means, if the user from your context does not have permissions on a document, you can still make him following it! It does not make much sense, since the feed is security trimmed, so the user won\u2019t get anything from the document in her feed, but it is still \u201cunpleasant\u201d to see the document title among the list of the followed sites. Especially if it is called something like “List of the employees who are going to be fired in August 2013.docx”. Please use the search to security trim the documentbefore following it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
