My company has recently started sharepoint for collaboration. Now I created sites and subsites for all my projects. And that time I created new groups for owner, members and visitors for each subsite. But later I realised that the owner group can be same for all subsites. So I deleted the owner groups for 2 of my sites. Now I am unable to create subsites or delete those sites. How do I find who is the owner and how can I add myself as the owner for these sites. Any help would be appreciated.
Try going to the /_layouts/permsetup.aspx page on each of the sites to add the new owner group.
For instance, if you had a site with the url http://testapp/testsite/, you would go to http://testapp/testsite/_layouts/permsetup.aspx

I have a SharePoint Online site, and the Visitors group has one entry "Everyone", meaning that the whole company can Read the site. I created a sub-site, and on the sub-site I clicked "Stop Inheriting" permissions, and I want the sub-site to have no Visitors at all. The sub-site is for Members only. But when I removed "Everyone" from the Visitors group on the sub-site, that affected the parent so I had to put it back. How can I take Read permission away so that the sub-site has no Readers at all?
I will suggest you to create a new group, say internal visitor, with all the required visitors except the Everyone. In your sub-site, just remove the permission of the visitors group, then grant read permission to the new internal visitor group.
I have a O365 Group and a Team site but not Teams enabled.
In that site I have a list called Portfolio. I have a bunch of users added as owners and members of the O365 group and they are added in to SharePoint online groups respectively.
We are managing permissions for users on individual lists and libraries which seem to be working. However when I try to have unique permissions with Owners and Members Read only access on the list, they still have full control on the list.
As shown in the image here:
Permissions
The Part I don't understand is that it says "The following factors also affect the level of access for Ashar Khan"
Where are these policies set and how do I change them?
By default, O365 group owners would have site collection admin access to the team site. Site collection administrators are given full control over all Web sites in the site collection.
To remove the group owners from site collection administrators, go to site permission settings->Site Collection Administrators:
I have installed SharePoint 2013 Foundation in a 2 server farm topography. I am trying to create a sub-site for normal authenticated users and keep the Central Administration root site for only the SP admins. When I create a sub-site I think I am adding a user group and users to that site, for access to only that site, but users in that group can still see the Central Administration site. I need to assign separate permissions on each site. Is there a tutorial or something out there that can help a beginner do this?
Sort out Central Administration permission
Go to your user permissions in Central Administration site, should be something like
http://sharepointsite.domain:12345/_layouts/15/user.aspx
Make sure that only you Farm admin groups are listed here. I manually add only the Farm admin accounts to make sure nobody who should not be there find there way in.
If you have a Farm Administrators account, expand it and see what other groups might have permission.
You might find something like "BUILTIN\Administrators".. and there might be a global user group that is included in that account.
A good start is to delete all the accounts you are unsure about, then re-add them while checking each one.
And of course you can use the magic button that will show you permissions get granted to the site.
I have a SharePoint site which contains a root site and site collection in it. Now there are some sites that inherits permissions from their parent site and some site has their own permission module. Now a user from owner group of root site browses site collection but there are few site which doesn't allow user to view the content of it.
Now what I want is general recommendation on when creating a new site in SharePoint what is best possible approach to set site permission.
In what case we can inherits permissions from parent site..?
In what case we can we us unique permission for a site..?
If a site has unique permission set then is it possible to creat a group at root level which has access to all site collection irrespective of site permission model?
I want a general recommendation based on above scenario.
Any help will be appriciable.
Thanks

In many cases we can't inherit permission in all subsites/ lists. And if we are not inheriting it we can't create a new group which have same permission in all sites/lists. But we can overcome it with the following way.
Create some common permission group with deferent permission level. And create site with inheriting permission and remove user groups from new sites except the common group.
If a new user wants access in all sites/ list you can add this user in appropriate common group.
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.
