I have a full control permission of our team's Sharepoint site (I think it's Sharepoint 2010, but could also be 2013... I can't tell). For test purpose I created a subsite within this site. I set the subsite to not inherit the parent site's permission and make myself the only user who can see and access the subsite. Later I removed myself as the user of this subsite (i.e. this subsite has no user and no admin). Now whenever I am in the main site, I still can see the link to this subsite, but I cannot access it (it says 'access denied'... I also can't delete this subsite). I would consider this a flaw that Sharepoint lets me make my subsite unreachable, but is there any away I can regain access to this subsite?
Is there perhaps any permission that is more powerful than Full Control?
p.s. this can also happen with document libraries, list, etc.
If you have permission for it, make yourself Site Collection Owner. After that you can access your subsite again.
Add or change a site collection administrator
At the top level of your site collection, click Site Actions and
then Site Settings.
Under Users and Permissions, click Site Collection Administrators.
In the Site Collection Administrators field, type or browse to find
the name of the person you want to designate a site collection
administrator.
Click OK.

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.
In sharepoint 2007 how can i give custom user permissions to a page where anonymous access is enabled for its parent site?
This page must be anonymously accessible but editable by only selected domain users. I cannot set permissions on page's parent site because in the same site, different pages must be editable by different people, though i have to set permissions on pages. But when I break the permission inheritance on the pages in order to give custom permissions to users, anonymous access is not working.
Where do you break the permission inheritance? On site, list or folder in the list level? Anyway if you break the permission inheritance somewhere within the list or library you should try to set the anonymous permission mask of the SPList instance (see here for a reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.splist.anonymouspermmask.aspx).
I have been working with a scenario similar to yours with 2007 and did not have any problems...
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,
Ash
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 give a member a privilege to create a sub site or workspace with same permission as that of parent site. I have changed the OOTB "Contribute" permission level i.e. I have given permission to Create a web site. After doing this a Site Action Menu appear and I don't want it to be displayed when member with "Contribute" permission level is logged in. Is is possible to Hide Site Action at all without using designer?
Why not just create a new permission set, lets call it "Site Creators", that has all the option checked that contribute has + create site. Then create a new SharePoint group, add your users and add the new permissions set to the group's permissions.
Below are what I do usually. Hope it works for you too.
No.1 Open up the master page in SharePoint Designer.
No.2 Wrap the html of the Site Actions within a SPSecurityTrimmedControl.
No.3 Set the Permissions String as appropriate.
