If I create a forward link on a wiki page as one of the site collection admins and then click on the link I get a pop up saying that the page does not exist and if I want to create it.
When I try to do the same with a user that has Full Control access to the pages list I get access denied. When I temporarily set the user as a site collection admin he can click on the link and also create the new page.
What permission and on what list(s) does a user really need to be able to create these pages when clicking on a forward link?
Thanks in advance.

The fix to this:
Go to Site Actions -> Site Settings ->Modify all site settings
Go to Galleries -> Master pages and page layouts
From the list toolbar, select Settings -> Document library settings
Select permissions for this document library
Add 'Restricted Read' access to the required groups.
Once this is done, your users will no longer get the access denied error .

I have a SharePoint Site where I created a List and I want to give read and add access to this list only to a limited group of people.
First I created in the SP site the List "ListX"
In the ListX settings I went to list permissions and I stopped inheriting permissions from the site and I created unique permissions
On the site advanced permission settings I created a new permission level "Add and View Only" where I selected the following options:
On the list permissions section
(a) Add Items - Add items to lists and add documents to document libraries
(b) View Items - View items in lists and documents in document libraries
The moment I selected those two options the following options have been automatically selected for me on the site permissions section:
(a) View Pages - View pages in a Web site
(b) Open - Allows users to open a Web site, list, or folder in order to access items inside that container
Then on the site permission I created a SharePoint group "ListX Users" and I gave the permission level "Add and View Only"
Then I added several users in the SP group "ListX Users"
Then I granted permissions on the ListX permissions to the "ListX Users" SP group
However the user gets the message "Sorry you don't have access" when they try to go to the top level of the site so that they can click on the ListX link and they are prompted to request access.
Any idea why that happens and how to give such Add and View access to the ListX only? Thanks
Best (and easiest) imo is to work down. Give them permissions on site level and break inheritance on each library that shouldn't be visible for everyone.
That way the navigation is the easiest and for maintenance has the easiest overview.
I partially solved my issue by adding two more options in the List permissions permission levels of "Add and View Only". See below.
Open Items - View the source of documents with server-side file handlers
View Application Pages - View forms, views, and application pages. Enumerate lists
However in this case the user need to have a direct link to the list and cannot navigate via the 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
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.
I use the central administration to create a new site colletion and when I have entered all the required information and click OK it takes a while then I get a confirmation message that the new site collection has been created. I click on the link but when I go there the site collections is empty (no menues no pages no nothing) and I don't get an error message, it's just a blank page with no code.
What can I be doing wrong here? I know I set the site collection owner to my user.
Thanks in advance.
When you say, "I set the site collection owner to my user," is "my user" your login or another user who you are creating the site collection for?
If it is the latter, that could be your problem. By default, the home page of a Publishing Portal site collection is checked out. If you do not have permissions to view drafts, then it is possible that you could see a blank page because there is no published version of the page available. If this is the case, either add yourself to the site collection administrators group or have the other user publish the home page.
I am trying to update a layout page in Sharepoint Designer but when I click Save I receive an Access Denied error. I can see that the layout page is created by the system account. I am in the site owners group so I think I should be able to make modifications to the page.
Any help?
The page could be checked out by the System Account or never had a published version, also, site owners have limited permissions in the site collection (where the page layouts reside)
