When do I get an Access Denied error?
However, one user in this same AD group, got an access denied error when choosing to Add a Link to a Document. This same user could perform all other tasks such as creating folders and setting permissions.
What to do if you do not have permission to access a site?
The type of permissions the user has on a site and which security group it is derived from (if applicable) will be displayed. If the user does not have appropriate permissions, grant them permissions to the file or site. If the user continues to receive an error message, remove them from the site using the following steps:
Can a domain user be denied access to a folder?
However, the same does not apply to Domain Users. Regular users with no admin rights are denied access, even when the Effective Permissions confirms that they should have full control. Thus far, I have not found a way to properly clamp down access. In theory I could just turn off UAC and be done with it, but I don’t feel that’s really a solution.
Is there a way to check permissions for a user?
Checking permissions for the user, everything checked out okay (note: we follow grant not deny access methods so there was nothing denying access anywhere). After researching online and trying many possible solutions without success, I found a post regarding the status of Master Pages. On checking the Master Page, it was checked out.
If you have a custom group that should have permission, but users of that group do not have permission in practice (they get ‘Access Denied’ errors), then add that group to the Shared Permissions. The Everyone group is apparently useless when it comes to Share Permissions and does not grant the appropriate permissions to Everyone.
When is access denied for read only members?
When I put a user in a Read-Only group I created, which has Read permissions, the user gets “access denied” to the site. If I make the user a member of the O365 group and they are in one of these 2 SharePoint groups with Read-only rights, they still get access denied to the site.
