I am using SharePoint O365 with Nintex Forms for business forms automation. I would like to hide/restrict the Site Contents to the visitors with Read permission.
I tried with assiging Restricted read, also by editing the Read permission level by unchecking the View Application Pages Permission. With this, the Site Contents are hidden, but the Nintex forms are not loaded. Is there any way I can hide it or restrict it if someone manually enter the Site contents url and browses?
By default, users with read permissions could access the site contents page.
As far as I know, there is no other ways to hide/restrict the site contents page. Unchecking the View Application Pages Permission is the only way.

I have a site collection with a subsite. I am storing a roadmap and some other project management documents within a document library in my subsite. I would like to share that document library with an internal user, but I don’t want her to see anything else – just that document library. I don’t want her to see any other parts of the site. Can I do that? How?
Yes,
Go to Site Settings > Site Permissions
Remove the user from all groups (click on Check Permissions to see what permissions she has on your site).
Go to the document library and click on the Library tab in the
ribbon.
Click on Shared With (far to the right)
Click on ADVANCED
Click on Stop Inheriting Permissions, confirm with Ok
Click on Grant
Permissions and give the user the appropriate rights (read, edit
etc.)
EDIT:
This is for a SharePoint 2013 site. Sorry for that. I dont have a SharePoint 2010 site available right now so I cant give you the exact steps, but the concept is still the same:
Remove the users permissions to the site.
Stop inheriting permissions for the document library
Grant the user permissions to the documet library
I have a sub-site (http://mysite/documentcenter). My user is in Site Collection Administrators, so I can see and click the move button in site content and structure of sub-site.
But the other users, who has contribute access to all documents, can't see the Move button - it completely disappeared, it's not greyed out.
How can I make the move button display for the other users?
I know this question is a bit old but, you need to have the following Permission Level enabled or Move is not available.
Manage Web Site - Grants the ability to perform all administration tasks for the Web site as well as manage content.
I would be very careful assigning this permission though as it adds a whole slew of additional access for the user(s).
Make sure Add and Customize Pages permissions is present. There could be a Deny mask coming in from User Policy from central admin, which can overwrite Site Collection admin permissions.
What are the minimum SharePoint 2010 permissions required to allow a user to personalize a web part page, allowing updates and adding web parts to the page but completely restrict the user modifying the shared version?
I initially copied the built-in “Read” permission level and added the “Manage Personal Views”, “Add/Remove Personal Web Parts” and “Update Personal Web Parts” permissions from the Personal Permissions group. This custom permission level was then applied to a user who then viewed a web part page created by the Administrator, which contained only a very simple prototype SharePoint web part. This web part contained a modifiable label which was edited using the “Miscellaneous” section from the Edit Web Part from the standard SharePoint chrome.
With the custom permission level applied the “Miscellaneous” option it is not available to the user upon personalizing the page and selecting Edit Web Part. The “Miscellaneous” option only becomes available to the user when the permission level is further modified to have the “Edit Items” from the List Permissions group. This has the undesired effect of allowing the user to be able to modify the shared version of the page.
Is what I’m trying to achieve even possible?
Many thanks

It's probably because you don't have a safecontrol for the webpart with the attribute SafeAgainstScript
Outside of the "My Site" page in SharePoint, is there any way to allow my sites visitors/users to add or remove web parts on pages without giving them contributor writes? I'm working on a corporate intranet that is being built with SharePoint and they want the home page of the site to be highly personalizable. But besides the "My Site" page, I don't know of any way to allow all of the visitors to add or remove web parts. Can anyone provide any guidance? Thanks.
I tested this with a publishing site on sp2010, and the permissions you need are:
Site Permissions
Add and Customize Pages
Browse Directories
Personal Permissions
Add/Remove Personal Web Parts
Update Personal Web Parts
The personal web part permissions dont work on their own
You could create your own permission set, where you should set "Add/Remove Private Web Parts" permission and "Update Personal Web Parts" permission, but remove those permissions which you don't like in "Contributor" permission set. Then assign this new permission set to users or groups you need.
I am trying to update a layout page in Sharepoint Designer but when I click Save I receive an Access Denied error. I can see that the layout page is created by the system account. I am in the site owners group so I think I should be able to make modifications to the page.
Any help?
The page could be checked out by the System Account or never had a published version, also, site owners have limited permissions in the site collection (where the page layouts reside)
