Is there a way to allow contributor users to add web parts to a page without granting them "Add and Customize Pages" permission?

I am working on an enterprise wiki site collection, and when contributor users try to add web parts they will get the following error:-
A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. You don't have Add and Customize Pages permissions required to perform this action.
So I granted the Contribute Permission level an extra permission which is “Add and Customize Pages”. Now contributors will be able to add/edit/delete
web parts. But they will have extra permissions that I do not want them to have , such as changing the design and customize some page layouts, also they can access the site settings and create site columns !!.
So my question is basically if there is another way to allow users with contribute permission to be able to add web parts without granting any extra permission. In other words to treat adding web parts as normal content such as image, Text ,tables ?
Thanks

I dont think so.

Add and Customize Pages
Add, change, or delete HTML pages or Web Part pages, and edit the Web site by using a Windows SharePoint Services-compatible editor.
View Items, Browse Directories, View Pages, Open
Design, Full Control 
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered. You can reach me through http://freeit-support.com/
so there are not any workarounds or any custom settings which i can use to implement any of these:-
- To force Contributor users to add web parts without granting them "Add and Customize Pages"
- If i grant them "Add and customize Pages" permission, to stop the ability to access the site settings ?
Please can any one advice on this , as it is causing a lot of confusion,,, and i can not live with the face that Contributor users can access and modify site settings. the other approach will be is that i will stop using web parts. but one of our main reasons
we decide to use SharePoint is the ability to add web parts, especially the Visio & Excel web access web. thanks in advance for any advice ..

  • My wife and I share an account , is there a way to put both our contact lists in our one iCloud account without merging them., My wife and I share an account , is there a way to put both our contact lists in our one iCloud account without merging them.

    My wife and I both have iPhones and we share an apple ID. Is there a way to put both our contact list in the same iCloud without merging the lists.  We want to be able to use the same iCloud account because we share info .

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    No, there is no way of maintaining two separate contact lists with one account. Ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, you can still share your info by allowing each other to log into the other's account as a secondary account at settings >mail, contact, calendars. You can choose which services you choose to share and which you don't. This way you could maintain separate contact lists but still share them.

  • Is there a way to allow two users on the same itunes account to see their individual contacts and calendars

    I'm just looking for away to allow my wife and I to see our contacts, emails, and calendars on the macbook pro. We have a single itunes account, with two different iphones. How do we do this? Right now the computer only shows my wifes information.
    Thanks
    Josh

    Thanks GB,
    Ok, so I've gone ahead and setup another Apple ID for my Iphone so now we have two Apple IDs and two Icloud accounts. My Iphone is on my Apple ID, her Iphone, Ipad and Macbook Pro are on her ID.
    Could you give me some direction as to how to add my information to the Macbook Pro.
    - I'd like to be able to see my her and my calendars by clicking on the calendar icon dock.
    - Same with Email, can we see both emails by clicing on the email icon in the dock - I was able to do this on the Ipad but can't figure it out on the Macbook Pro
    - Contact would also be nice but I'm not sure its possible
    I know I could probably setup a second user on the computer, but that would mean logging in and out of user groups all the time which we don't really want to do.

  • IPhoto on my macbook air does not see my ipod nano 2nd generation. Is there a way to get the photos from this device into my photo stream without wiping them, which will happen if I sync with iTunes

    I have photos on an old 2nd generation ipod nano, that have since been wiped from any other source.
    I now have a shared photostream through icloud between all my other apple deivces (iphone, ipod, ipad, macbook air, apple tv), but I cant find a way to get the ipod nano photos onto the stream. The original photo files were detroyed with an old computer, that also had the itunes library to which the nano was linked.
    The photos are the only items I want from the nano. Can anyone help?

    You need to copy the photos off of the Nano and onto your MacBook Air first.
    The photos you synced to your iPod through iTunes are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of those photos.  So if you do manage to get them off your iPod, they will be quite small in size compared to the original ones you lost.
    In order to get them off of your iPod, you'll need the help of some sort of 3rd party software. Here is one option.

  • Way to allow the user access to the saved lists of this Z report

    We have a Z report that we want to run at midnight each Sunday and then view the output/layout first thing Monday morning. We can schedule the report to run but it appears that the only way we can save the output as a 'file' for later viewing is by using the "Save with ID" option, which puts the output into a SAP 'saved list'.
    The problem with this is that it doesn't appear to be possible to access that list from the Z-report - it would appear that you have to go into SQ01 and use the 'saved list' button. This means giving the Z- report user access to SQ01 as well as Z-report, which, for security (SOD) reasons we don't want to do.
    We can run the report in foreground with the output option "File store" and save the output as a file to a specified location,. But this option doesn't appear to be available when the report is scheduled as a background job. If this is done, the background job runs but there's no output anywhere, as far as we can tell.
    So what want is to run the report in background but with the output option 'File store' or equivalent (i.e. an output stored somewhere that the report user can view). Is this not possible, or have we missed something in setting up the report run?
    Or is there a way to allow the user access to the saved lists of this Z report without giving them T-code SQ01?
    Thanks

    Hi !
    I just wonder if the answer from Varishtb below did solve your propblem.
    I have exactly the same problem as you. I also want to be able to look at the saved list without using the sq01.
    If you solved it I will be grateful to get the solution.
    regards Lars
    answer:
    You can call the infoset query directly from a transaction code. There's
    no need to copy it as a 'Z-report' (or as a custom report). In fact,
    everytime you're copying an infoset query to a report, you're calling
    for problems the next time you face an upgrade. (That is because SAP
    changes the internal logic used to handle the infosets queries from
    version to version)
    We're using some infoset queries and they work fine this way.

  • Is there a way to allow someone to play a keynote briefing and prevent them from copying, rewriting, or printing it?

    Is there a way to allow someone to play a keynote briefing and prevent the user from copying, modifying, or printing it?  The reason I ask this
    is because I have created a lengthy keynote briefing book that has motion in it, and I don't want it copied, modified, or printed.

    To lock a presentation : 1 Open the presentation you want to lock , and hold your pointer over the name of the presentation at the top of the Keynote application window. A triangle appears. 2 Click the triangle and choose Lock. To unlock a presentation for editing: Hold your pointer over the name of the presentation at the top of the application m window until the triangle appears, click the triangle, and then choose Unlock
    Good luck

    What I am expecting is to have PL/SQL statement which could help us in this regard.

  • Is there a way to force a user to view all of Accordion Widget?

    Is there a way to force a user to read, or at least view,
    all sections of the Accordion Widget? We want to make sure the learner reads
    all of the material before advancing to the next slide. Is there a way to do
    this? I have searched all over, but I have been unable to find.

    No way. This is a static learning interaction, no event that could be used eventually. Personally I prefer offering reading material that is engaging over looking for a way to push the learner to look (reading doesn't mean he understands or grabs it) at all the stuff. But that is my teacher's past, if student doesn't read your stuff, something is wrong with the stuff, not with the student.
    If you have to force, you'll have to find another way than the accordion interaction .

  • Is there a way for a form user to load graphics and text in same field?

    I am aware that you can load text into a text field and graphics into an image field.  However, I would like to load a document containing text and graphics (e.g., MS Word or RTF) into a single field on a PDF form.  Is there any way to do this?

    Paul,
    I believe that the example of attaching a file that you have provided will solve the problem.  I am using LiveCycle Designer, so using the code that is in your example should be no problem.  The end-user will use Adobe Reader, so as you mentioned, I will use Acrobat to extend the features so that the form can be used by Reader.
    Thanks so much for your help,
    Daniel

    It is part of the PDF AcroForm side of things .....Are you using Reader or Acrobat to fill the form. If Reader then you will have to Reader Extend to make this work ....if Acrobat then you simply need to add some code. I have attached a sample that shows you how to do it if you want it.

  • Is there a way to get a user login record after sleep?

    I know that by opening terminal and typing in "last" (without the quote marks) that it will give me about a 3 week record of who has logged on my computer after shutdowns and restarts.
    What I want to know is this:
    a) Is there a way to get a user login record after the computer only goes to sleep?
    b) is there a way to get the terminal to go back further than just 3 weeks or so for the shutdown/restart records?
    Is there software that might do this???
    Thanks in advance, this is important for me.

    Thanks, Dave: so this is what I type in the terminal? "ls -l /var/log/wtmp*" (without the quotes). And how do you unzip something that has been "gzipped"?
    "man gzip" will give you the details for using gzip
    My first question can be explained this way: To get into the computer when it is coming out of sleep you need to type in a password, then it opens to the desktop. Is there a way I can find out the times over the course of a day/week/month that this is being done? i.e., is there a log being made somewhere of when the computer is being opened and signed onto after being asleep?
    When you wake the computer from a sleep, you are not logging in again so there will be
    no record of the event as a "login"
    My computer possibly could be used by a few other people that have access to my computer password (don't ask why) and I basically want to know if they are signing on when I am away from my desk.
    You may want to look at /var/log/asl.log or /var/log/secure.log which contain details of
    authentication attempts (which is what you are doing) and failures.
    I am not asking why you have multiple people accessing your computer with your password --
    but consider setting up separate username, it is a lot easier to manage and you will probably
    not be asking questions like this one.

  • Is there a way to allow setting of "Due Date for All Tasks" to current date in OOB Workflow

    Is there a way to allow setting of "Due Date for All Tasks" to current date in OOB Workflow
    I need to set it today because there are tasks that is needed to be completed on the same day.
    Is there a way without modifying the page/form. like a configuration or something?
    ----------------------- Sharepoint Newbie

    Hi ,
    As Ajeet said,  for implement your requirement, you can change the data validation on the Due data field.
    You can do as the following :
    Open the site with SharePoint Designer 2010
    Click on Workflows on the left launch, then find ‘Approval-SharePoint 2010’, click on it
    On the Forms section, click ‘ReviewApproval_***.xsn’
    Then you can find Due Data for All Tasks, and change the validation
    In addition, if you create an approval workflow with SharePoint Designer, you can use a specific date, it contains hour and minute.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,
