SharePoint Designer cannot be disable for Administrator Account - sharepoint

The problem is that when I disable the "SharePoint Designer" from the "SharePoint Designer Settings" (Site Collection Level), I can still edit this with my Administrator account. It works fine for another users who is not the Administrator. Do this behavior is know in SharePoint? Can someone explain me why this happen? If not, how can I disable the "Edit with SharePoint designer" for the Admin. Thanks

To disable SharePoint Designer for even Site Collection admins, you need to do so at the web application level via SharePoint Central Admin.
The setting you're changing at the Site Collection level only affects Site Owners & Designers; it does not, as you've seen, have any affect on Site Collection admins.
For instructions on disabling SharePoint Designer for an entire web app via SP Central Admin, see this guide here:

limit access to SharePoint Site

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

team foundation server sharepoint web site access permissions

Please help.
Am newbie and have hit a snag with TFS and Sharepoint combo. Come from old school where in IIS you right click and set permissions of Web Site, and now I can't find the sharepoint sites in IIS 7 to actually give myself permissions.
When opening the localhost/ sites/ project in IE, i get an Error: Access Denied.
This is the sharepoint site that was set up by TFS when I added a project in Visual Studio 2010 to my TFS ProjectCollection.
How do I get access to the web site?
Regards
Permission is not give to the SP sites directly from IIS.
If you are or you know the SP Site collection administrator, ask them to give you the appropriate access to the SP site you are requesting. Otherwise, if there are no site collection administrators then go a level higher to the SP farm administrator, ask the farm admin to grant make you the site collection administrator for the SP Site collection you are trying to access. The team project site is located under a site collection.
From there you can give other users access to the appropriate SP resources using Site Actions > Site Permissions.
You should be given the permissions inside SharePoint by site collection administrator.
Site collection admin should navigate to localhost/sites/{tfscollection}/{tfsproject}, click Site settings and then People and groups link.
From there, you need to be added to the site and given the appropriate permissions.
There's a really nice utility that makes it easy to view/edit permissions on TFS, SharePoint and Report Server at the same time.

what are the sharepoint permissions required to update the shared view of a web part?

what are the sharepoint permissions required to update the shared view of a web part?
I'm on SharePoint 2010
Many thanks
Full Control or Design permission.
More info here User permissions and permission levels (SharePoint Foundation 2010)
I think it's anyone with permissions to "Add and Customize Pages". Out of the box that would be site collection administrators and people/groups with the Full Control or Design permission set.

How can you stop reauthetication when downloading/opening office documents in sharepoint?

I successfully login to my sharepoint (wss3.0) site with my AD credentials and when I try to view/open a word document in a document library, I am again prompted to re-enter my AD credentials. Is there any way to stop this? And if not, why is it so?
Add your SharePoint site to the Local intranet zone in Internet Explorer settings.

Adding a custom tab and page MOSS MySites that everyone can see

On MOSS mysites I want to be able to create a new tab that every mysite user can view, it should show a web part page.
How can I do this?
Create a site collection as a parent to all the MySites. Or to put it the other way, make the MySites a subsite to a site collection that has the site that you want all the MySites to see.
In your Shared Services Provider (Central Admin/Shared Services Admin), look under User Profiles and My Sites. You can select Personalization Site Links and point to an existing site that contains the web part page you want to display.
You can also filter the display using the Audiences functionality so that it only displays to a select group of users.
