When someone shares a document but doesn't include the owner (I am the owner) I can't see it! This is a big problem because if someone publish different documents but only he and his group can see it, if they leave the company how can I find this documents??
If someone shares a document exclude the file owner, the file owner will not see the document. It's by design.
As a workaround, you could set the file owner as the site collection administrator. Even if someone shares a document exclude the file owner, the file owner can also see the document.
Update:
1.Click site permissions in the site settings.
2.Advanced permission settings -> Site Collection Administrators.

This is baffling me. I used PowerShell to add about 35 libraries to a site and then create and ADD 3 permissions groups for each library which are set to use unique permissions.
After running my code I thought all was fine. When I go to the site I see all the libraries that I made and can go into each of them and the permissions for each library are correct. However, if I go in as any other user I can't see any of the libraries. Even if I go to all "All Site Content" it's as if they don't exist.
I am the site collection admin and am part of that site's Owners group, but other people in the Owner's group can't see the libraries.
Any Ideas?
It might be that the other users who cannot see those library are not having any permission on that library,since you have broken inheritance. You can verify this by logging in as Site administrator. Open the document library--> Library settings-->Permissions for this document library --> Check Permissions. Here type in the user for whom the library was not available, then you can see if that user is actually having any permission on that library or not.
In SharePoint, it has 5 permission level: full control, design, contribute, read, limit access. Permissions are categorized as list permissions, site permissions, and personal permissions, depending upon the objects to which they can be applied; and it can be inherited from the parent, or it can have its own. if one user doesn't have the permission to a list, the user can't see it.
Permissions control is complex in SharePoint, See these MSDN articles for details:
Permission levels and permissions
About controlling access to sites and site content
I created a SharePoint sub-site, and accidently deleted all permissions groups except for the Members (which included me) and now I'm stuck looking at the site I've created but I'm not able to edit or delete it and create a new one.
Any idea of what I could do to get myself out of this situation?
Thanks,

Normally you can still sign-in with the system account.
If not try adding the system account to the Site Collection Administrators. (In the settings of the root site of the site collection. )
You'll need to use an account that's in the Site Collection Administrators.
If you're not able to view the Site Collection Administrators (in Site Settings), you'll need to contact the admins of the site and ask them to re-assign you Full Control permissions to your site so you can begin rebuilding your site permissions.
I want to move a page between sites from a site collection.
I am getting result as :-
Operation Failed.
Access Denied. Not enough permission.
When I login as Site administrator, I can move page between sites.
The user with contribute permission cannot move pages between sites.
Please help me for this issue...
It looks like the permission level issue.
Instead using the default permission levels (Contributor in your case, which has no rights to manage web), you should probably create a custom permission level that has permissions fits your need.

Hope it helps
James is correct, you need more permissions.
If you don´t wan´t to add those permissions to the users you could create your own "move" function that uses elevated permissions to do the copying. Things to look out for though is that you would have to "restore" the current users credentials on the createdby and modifiedby columns after the move since those will be sharepoint\system when elevated.
How can I set the permissions for a site where I have access to do everything but NOT view documents?
Thank you.
I'm Kevin and I'm responsible for permissions in SharePoint
In SharePoint, you can grant permissions to a user or group via what we call "permission levels" - essentially sets of permissions. Out of the box we include a few of these like "Read" and "Contribute" and "Design".
It sounds like you want to provide some users with the ability to do more than the Read permission level allows, but disallow the viewing of documents. To accomplish this, you could create a new permission level (site settings > advanced permissions > permission levels). Note: we restrict permission levels from including adding or editing items without the ability to view them

Your question is slightly confusing, I'm taking it to mean, you want to stop certain users (or groups of users from accessing documents hosted in your site. (Where you are the site administrator.)).
To do that go into each library, go to settings, then document library settings, permissions for this document library and restrict them as appropriate.
I am using WSS2.0. Am trying to set some permissions to a document library but not getting the desired behavior. I have created a sharepoint user and assigned it to 'Reader' group. I just want this user to view document library content but not make any changes like check out or upload new document or delete etc. Hence I assign the Reader group. But when I login to the site as this user I am able to delete documents and perform other changes. I checked the document library permissions and it contains Reader, Contributor, Administrator groups and also the permissions are not inherited from the parent.
Is there any other settings I need to check. Have I missed or misunderstood anything?
Please advise.
Thanks,

Based on the details provided it seems likely that the user in question also belongs to another group (local, Active Directory or SharePoint) with the additional permissions.
