Sometimes it happens that you give permissions to the users
to access a site, but they get “Access Denied” when they try to access the
site. Usually the reason is that they do not have access to some lists or
subsites that are part of the main site but have unique permissions. For
example, style library, pages library, etc. Make sure you give them access to
all lists that come under the main site and have unique permissions. One way of
finding the list that denies users access is to check the URL when user gets
the “Access Denied” error. URL looks
like the following:
Name attribute in the URL contains the list ID that is
denying user access.
1.
To see which list it is, log in as a user that
can access the site. Go to the site where you intend to give permissions to the
user.
2.
Open any existing list in the site.
3.
Go to list settings.
URL will look like following:
List attribute contains the current list’s
GUID. Replace it with the one you saw in the previous link (when you/user got
“Access Denied” error). Hit enter. It will show you the list settings. Now you
know the list name. Go to the list permissions and add user there. Now they
should be able to access the main site. If they still get “Access Denied”,
repeat the process to find other lists that have unique permissions. Add user to
all lists with unique permissions.
