We are having some very strange permissions problems with one of our customers. First off all of the document libraries, and
lists in the entire Site Collection and sub sites do not show the Settings
Button menu. You can still get to the
settings through all Site Settings, Site Administrations and then Customize the
the Content.
As well when going to a doc lib or list the "Edit
Page" under site actions are missing.
I have also tried to just check out any of the pages in
the Master Page Gallery and receive and "ACCESS DENIED" page.
We have tried several different users all having Site
Admin, Designers, Full Control permissions.
I have even checked to ensure that there are no unique permission set on
these lists or doc libs.
I also created a new sub site with Unique permissions and
still have the same issues. Appears to
be something with Web Application but I can't find what the problem is.
************************ UPDATE ************************************
Oh what an idiot I am. Never occurred to me to look in the most obvious place.
Check what you currently have as
the' User Permissions for the Web Application' by going to Central
Administration -> Application Management (for the pertinent Web Application)
-> User Permissions for Web Application (Under Application Security
Category) and see if all permissions here are checked. If not, they will not
filter down to any of the Site Collection permissions.
