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 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 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 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.
We have a teamsite site collection with a number of subsites.
In the sub-sites. We usually break the inheritance and assign specific groups.
Now, our company director needs access to the all teamsites. We have over 100 teamsites. And it is difficult to assign him to each group for each teamsite. furthermore, we would have to remember to add him as a member to the teamsite each time.
Is there a way to add a specific Active directory user or group so that they can access all subsites (thereby overriding any break in the inheritance)
Any help would be greately appreciated.
Thanks,
Joseph
You need to add a web application policy.
If you head into SharePoint Central Administration --> Application Management --> Policy for Web Applications you should be able to set him up with the requisite permissions that will work across the sites within that web app.

(I've voted to have this moved to the SharePoint StackExchange site as it's not really Dev related)
Recently a guy from our 3rd line team thought it would be funny to delete my account from AD. This has now been re-added. Everything is back to normal apart from my Access to Sharepoint sites.
I am getting The file exists. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070050) Error on all sites.
After some googleing I came across a guy with the same issue and it was an issue with the SID being different from my old account. Since this I deleted my account from Site Administrators and re-added. This would refresh the SID with the new one. I also check on the Content database that the site ID matched using the following transactions and the SIDs match.
select s.Id, w.FullUrl from Sites s inner join Webs w on
s.RootWebId = w.Id
select * from UserInfo where tp_Login='domain\username' and
tp_SiteID='<ID Code>'
I am now a bit clueless.
I have now deleted the user account from Site Colection from Central Admin and also deleted from Site Collection from all the seperate sites. Performed a IISreset and then re-added the user account to Site Colection in Cental Admin and onto all sites. I have now got all my access rights back.
You could have used the command:
stsadm -o migrateuser ...
To copy your old rights into your new account.
