I have a user "membre1", I want to prevent him from accessing to site settings. I want it hidden for him, I'm one of the admins of the site, so I belive I'm able to do it.
How can I do that?
I solved the problem

I have a SharePoint site where I am the admin and I have full control permission. One of the users created a link on the navigation menu, but I cannot edit it or delete it. The user is no longer on the site. I checked the permission again, and it shows I have full control.
How do I modify or delete the link and its page?
I tried giving myself more permission, but that did not help. I thought full control covers everything.
On the edit mode, some links are editable, but the one I need to remove doesn't give me that option.
If it is a link to a list/library, it might not be permissions related. Check the List/Library Settings, "Name, Description and Navigation" option:
I was given a credential for a sharepoint site to change the theme of the existing site. However, it seems that the options for "Change the look", "Themes" and "Composed Looks" all return a blank page despite being a "site collection administrator".
From a little research, I've come to know that most probably, it might be because of a permission issue or URL mismatch. I'd be happy if somebody shed some light into this.
You need to have either Site Owner or Designer or Site admin to change the look of the SharePoint site. Looks like currently you don't have these permissions.
The correct URL is https://sitecollectionurl/_layouts/15/designgallery.aspx
Reference - Change the look of your SharePoint site
We have a SharePoint intranet, was accidentally changed by user significantly:
The fonts and styles are all wrong.
The menu from the Settings Cog on the top right corner also has different font styles.
I have just now locked down users permissions, so that only admin users are allowed to change, ordinary users should have read only access. It is a bit too late.
Questions:
Where could the user made the change?
What is the best way to reverse the change?
Can I find out who made the change?
Thanks
There are a few things the user could have done:
Change the "theme" of the site. This is most likely the case if the changes are only applied to one site/subsite, and not your entire site collection. This can be changed back by clicking on the gear, selecting "Site Settings", and then clicking on the "Change the Look" link.
Change the master page for the site. This can be changed back to the default by going to Site Settings again and clicking on the "Master Page" link under Look and Feel.
They EDITED the existing Master Page. This would have bee done through SharePoint Designer, and would need to be fixed through SharePoint Designer. (Find the Master Page in the Master Page Gallery, right click on it, and then select "Reset to Site Definition".
They simply applied a custom stylesheet. This can be reverted to the default by again going to Site Settings, and clicking on the "Master Page" link under Look and Feel.
(In SharePoint 2013, you can actually revert the theme, css, and master page all from the "Master Page" link in Site Settings.)
I use SharePoint 2013 and I need to change my current user in my SharePoint site.
How can I change my current user?
How can I add sub menu (sign in as different user) to my menu ?
There are several solutions to your problem as Microsoft has removed the Sign in as different user link.
Start your browser as a different user
Use the _layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true page
Edit the Welcome.aspx to include the link again (Sign in as Different User and SharePoint 2013)
Use JavaScript as a Bookmarklet (SharePoint 2013 – Sign in as Another User)
Official MSDN article about this problem: "Sign in as Different User" menu option is missing in SharePoint Server 2013. And remember: It's a feature, not a bug ;-)
•Locate the file \15\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES\Welcome.ascx and open in a text editor.
•Add the following element before the existing element with the id of “ID_RequestAccess”:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate runat="server" ID="ID_LoginAsDifferentUser"
Text="<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_loginasdifferentuser%>"
Description="<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_loginasdifferentuserdescription%>"
MenuGroupId="100"
Sequence="100"
UseShortId="true"
/>
•Save the file and close.
•Open your SharePoint site.
You will get an option for Sign In as Different User below "About Me" option
I am aware of 5 workarounds:
– Running the browser as the user you want to log in. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2752600
– Accessing the following URL “http://siteurl/_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true” by which you will be able to login as another user.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2752600
– Making a bookmarlet. Find how to do this here.
– Modify the “Welcome.ascx” control. You can find details about this here. This solution has two major inconvenients. Firstly, it is server scoped: the button will appear on every site collection of every web application. And secondly, the control can be overridden while applying a patch to SharePoint.
– Make a custom action. This gives the button back and is a clean way to do it.

Unfotueanatly the Sign as a different user has been removed in SharePoint 2013
But you can
Start Internet Explorer with Run as a different user option, by holding the Shift key when you right-click on a program icon.
Provide the different user credential.
Navigate to your SharePoint portal.
Also, there is a workaround to show Sign as a different user in SharePoint 2013 as SharePoint 2010 option by following the mentioned steps at Sign in as a different user in SharePoint 2013
One workaround option is:
Start Internet Explorer by using the 'Run as different user option', and then go to the SharePoint site.
The 'Run as different user option' is visible if you hold the Shift key when you right-click a program icon.
Use the below URL in your browser, which will prompt for login.
http://<yourservername>/_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true
There is also a Chrome extension for this, refer this post:

I have a problem with my sharepoint site, when I go to the home page the log in box keeps popping up, I have to click about 3 to 4 times before it goes away, and it does that everytime I go to the home page, all the other pages does not do that.
Can any one please help me out here.
Thank you.
Is there anything on your homepage you do not have rights to? Like un-approved images?
Use a tool like Fiddler to see what is causing the authentication requests.
Add the sharepoint url to the Trusted Sites also try enabling "Automatic Logon" under the Local Intranet Zone security settings
cheers,
