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 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.
So I have a SharePoint site with a few different pages.
I want to add someone to that SharePoint site, but I want them to only be able to see the one library in the site and nothing else.
I know that it can be done but I'm unsure as to how.
Yon need to configure the libraray to have unique permission.
Break permission inheritance in SharePoint Online: Go to library settings-> Permissions for this document library-> click Stop Inheriting Permissions.
Assign unique permissions in SharePoint Online:Go to the Permissions page mentioned above, Click Grant Permissions to give user access.

Navigate to that particular library ->library settings -> Permission for this library -> Break inheritance of that library(stop inheriting permissions)-> Click on Grant Permissions(here you can add that users with permission)
This is how we can add the user to the specific library.

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 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
