Users cannot access Document Library althouth they have Edit permissions

Hello,
I have a strange SharePoint 2013 case, or at least it's strange to me.
Users from the company cannot access a Document Library although I've granted them Edit permissions. The Inheritance from the parent have been broken, all inherited groups have been removed and all users have unique permissions to this library. Here is the
setup:
Web App -> Sub Site A -> Sub Site B -> Sub Site C -> Sub Site D -> Library
So these users have Read access from the Web App down to Sub Site B. They cannot see Sub Site C and D because these sites are also with broken inheritance and unique permissions. But I've granted Edit permissions for these users to the Library.
If I assign View permissions for these users to the Sub Site D then they can upload and edit documents in the library, but still cannot see Sub Site C which was my intention anyway. Again i don't want them to see Sub Site D either, but if i remove the View
permissions they can't access the library.
On SP 2010 this was not an issue. I'm not sure if here the permissions are different or not, but I've never seen such issue before.
Any ideas will be much appreciated. I hope the explanation is good enough to describe the issue.
Many Thanks in advance.
Ivo

Hi Ivaylo,
According to your description, my understanding is that the user with only Edit permission on the library cannot access the library.
I recommend to check if the Limited-access user permission lockdown mode feature is deactivated in root site.
If it is not, deactivate it and then test to see if the issue still occurs.
To deactivate the feature, please go to the root site > Site Settings > Site collection features > deactivate Limited-access user permission lockdown mode.
Best regards.
Thanks

  • User cannot access redirected Documents folder, but can connect to share in Windows Explorer and access folder on server

    I am in the final stages of a cross-forest migration.  Users have Windows 7 workstations with redirected folders on a Windows Server 2012 box running in the old forest.  User accounts were not migrated.  The accounts in use have always
    been in the "new" forest.  One of our challenges was the large volume of data in redirected folders.  I made sure users in the target forest had continued to have access to their redirected folders in the old forest and robocopied
    the entire users share, copying the permissions with the files.  By doing incremental robocopies, we can get a final copy done now in about six hours.  The plan was simple: copy the files, do an incremental copy every night, on the night of the cutover
    change the folder redirection policy Documents path from
    \\oldserver\users\%USERNAME% to
    \\newserver\users\%USERNAME%. The policy is configured to NOT copy user files from the existing folder to the new redirected folder.  Everything was going well until I tested the policy change.  After the folder redirection policy is updated
    and applied, the user cannot access the private Documents folder.  For example, user Chester Tester logs on as ctester.  I open Windows Explorer and click the Documents shortcut.  I see one subfolder, which is subfolder of Public Documents. 
    So I can look at Public Documents but when I click on the Documents folder (Under the Documents library link) I get an access denied error.  Now for the kicker, if I open another Windows Explorer window and edit the address bar to
    \\newserver\users\ctester, I can navigate the Documents folder tree and see my thousands of documents. What the ....?
    I'm hoping this is something really simple to fix!
    TIA

    HI Vivian,
    Thank you for your reply.  Yes, the path in Group Policy Folder Redirection Root Path was updated to
    \\NEWSERVER\users.  I had planned to point this to the distributed file system, so the first used was actually
    \\domain\dfs\users.  To simplify things I have backed off to copying to just a normal share
    \\newserver\users. 
    We are using BASIC folder redirection and we create a folder for each user under the root path. 
    We did not want the policy to move content, as we were seeing users requiring 15-20 minute logon times  (or higher) after the policy is changed.
    Grant the User exclusive right to Documents - Disabled
    Move the contents of Documents to the new location - Disabled
    Related folder settings
    Video - Follow Documents
    Music - Follow Documents
    Pictures - Follow Documents
    Now when I change the folder redirection from old server to new server I now have TWO My Documents folders in the user's redirection folder on the server.  The redirected Documents points to an empty folder set.  The copied folders with all user
    data are there, but folder redirection refuses to recognize the original folder.
    I am looking at the full view of the folder, nothing hidden, so I'm wondering how a folder can have two subfolders with the exact same name.  For now, I just want the redirection to move from the old server to the new server properly.  I deleted
    the new My Documents folder, rebooted the user's workstation and tried again.  The behavior repeats itself, i.e., a new My Documents folder is always created when the redirection policy is changed from the old server to the new server.  The environment
    has about 1500 users with approximately 1.3TB of data in the redirected Documents folders.  OUCH!

  • HT1941 I have inadvertently changed a file permission setting. When opening Aperture I get the following; Aperture cannot access this library. To use this library make sure it's file permissions are set correctly. I am an old dude new to Mac OS. What up?

    I have inadvertently changed a file permission setting. When opening Aperture I get the following; "Aperture cannot access this library. To use this library make sure it's file permissions are set correctly". I am an old dude new to Mac OS. Looked in settings but have no idea how to allow file sharing to myself. I have been using Aperture actively for 6 weeks. I'm the only one using this Mac. What up?

    Back up all data now.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
    Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • I have macbook pro w existing iPhoto library. Now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. Cannot access iPhoto library from Canon software, but prints fine from iPhoto. How can I use iPhoto library w Canon software?

    I have a macbook pro w exisitng iPhoto library. I now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. I cannot access iPhoto library for use from Canon software. I can print from iPhoto directly to new printer without problem. How can I use iPhoto library with Canon software? I would like to try the software to see which I prefer...

    Simply export some photos from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and experiment.
    Without telling us even what this program is, not to mind what it does, that's the best anyone can suggest.

  • I have just updated my iPad and now cannot access any apps as they just close down straight away. Any ideas why and how to solve?

    I have just updated my iPad and now cannot access any apps as they just close down straight away. Any ideas why and how to solve?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I've also seen it suggested that people try downloading a free app from the store onto the iPad (as that seems to reset something), and then re-try the apps - the free app can then be deleted.

  • The hard drive on my MacBookPro crashed.  The Apple store replaced it.  Since then I can't open iphoto.  It asks to rebuild library; when I click yes, I get: "Aperture cannot access this library; reset permissions." I don't own Aperture!

    The hard drive on my MacBookPro recently crashed.  The Apple store replaced it.  Since then I can't open iphoto.  It asks to rebuild library; when I click yes, I get: "Aperture cannot access this library; reset permissions." I don't own Aperture!  Any thoughts on how I can rebuild the iphoto library?  Currently I can't even get into it.

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:

  • Tried to update my itunes and it says "iTunes installed incorrectly" now i cannot access my library

    tried to update itunes and it says after download "iTunes installed incorrectly" now I cannot access my library.....HELP!!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Error Message - "Aperture cannot access this library"

    I'm using OS 10.5.7 and Aperture 2.1.3. I recently had an error message pop-up when I try to start Aperture that says, "Aperture cannot access this library. To use this library, make sure its file permissions are set correctly." Unfortunately, I can't seem to open up my library. Any ideas how to fix this or what is wrong? Thanks

    Hello,
    attached I would like to report how the problem solved.
    1. I had 63 Minute Call to Apple Support and we are tring some things. Finally I Spend spend 1 day for testing.
    2. Testing procedure:
    A) I exported each project step by step
    B) Than I deleted all appr. 50 projects in Aperture Library.
    C) After that I Imported each project to Aperture back.
    Result: 2 Project was corrupted, one of it was going well after export/import procedure how ever but the second ones error was constant appearing if I try to import it. The project consisting of 512 jpg files in total appr. 500MB.
    The solution for this project:
    I moved this jpg´s to waste bin und imported it from waste bin to Aperture again into a new project. Than I tested it again(Export/import) and it was fine.
    For final check I delete my Aperture backup und start a new one.
    Than start a compleate restoring from that last backup.
    Every thing was fine, all project include albums or books are ok.
    The pictures in the corrupted project was not imported by Aperture, they was created on a PC system(XP). Maybe that was the reason for the problem.
    A friend sad, that windows use not the agreed standard for jpg´s.
    I don´t know. So I´m happy all my books are back that is imported for a wedding photographer.
    Have fun

  • PIX Users Cannot Access Other Websites & Email Servers on Same-Shared T1 Co

    We are sharing a T1 connection with another business in our building. They have their own separate network environment from mine. I have a Windows 2003 Small Business Server behind a PIX-501 and the users in my network connect to the Internet via Windows Server?s DHCP and Internet sharing (NAT) services.
    All Internet and email traffic is accessible except for those hosted by the other company who we're sharing a connection with. My users cannot access that company?s web server or send email to their email server (we all get 4.4.7 SMTP errors? days later after sending the message).
    They have no firewall on their end; which is why I think there may be something wrong with my PIX configuration (see attached config file). I'm sort of a newbie with the PIX CLI, so any help I can get could be great. Thanks in advanced!

    The problem is not with PIX. This is a common problem when sharing a T1 link as it creates a routing problem since routing cannot be done based on shared T1 channels. Your PIX config is fine and has nothing to do with this issue.

  • Computer clock that user cannot access

    I have made a game that i published on Kongregate using C# language with Unity.
    I have a serious issue though. If the player stays offline, he gets some bonus in game when he returns. The more he is offline the bigger bonus. The issue is that if someone while he is offline changes the clock of his computer to 1 day or 10 years in the
    future he gets so much bonus that he ruins the game.
    Is there any way to avoid that without having a server to get time?
    In the webplayer i cannot use NTP due to security limitations, so i am trying to find a clock that the user cannot access.
    Thanks in advance for any possible answers!

    The software house where I'm working as a phone app which uses a timestamp on data it sends to a server.
    There are frequent issues with users messing with the time on their devices for games like candy crush.
    This causes no end of problems since you get data which is sent as if it happened like yesterday or some such and bad stuff happens.
    You definitely don't want to rely on the time on the users computer.
    Get the time when you start up or support bonus for save to server only and apply it retrospectively.
    Use a timer to see how long they play between saves if necessary.
    Or change the game and ditch the bonus mechanism.
    Hope that helps.

    This is not the correct category. This message should be opened under security item. However, you can find the whole required authorization objects list, by using ST01 trace.

  • Non-admin user cannot access Essbase server level variables

    Version 11.1.1.3
    Essbase Substitution variables are created at server level. Users are getting error in FR report that uses the Subsitution Variable -- Essbase Error(1051085): You do not have sufficient access to get this substitution variable. Also, users cannot access Substitution variable in SmartView. However, users can access variables created at database level. Users are provisioned as "Server Access" to Essbase and filter access to ASO application "MGTRPTG", where MGTRPTG is an ASO essbase application for reporting. We tried the same provisioning in two other environments and it seems to be working fine.
    User is type "Essbase and Planning" provisioned with essbase "server access", application mgtrptg "filter", Reporting and Analysis "analyst", "dynamic viewer" and "Explorer". In addition, it is given a filter "REP_DME_GALB" which restricts 2 dimensions (Division and Geography).
    Steps taken to resolve:
    1. Existing users were deprovisioned and reprovisioned with no effect.
    2. Created brand new identically provisioned users in Prod and QA. QA user can access the server level var and Prod user cannot
    3. Created a brand new server level variable in Prod and this cannot be accessed.
    4. All services have already been restarted several times.
    5. SR has been opened.
    Temporary workaround:
    By creating a duplicate of the same set of variables at the database level, the reports work. This can only be a temporary workaround as the client cannot be expected to maintain two sets of substitution variables since there are 3 applications using these server level variables.
    Thank you for any ideas!

    You have stumbled on a defect which is resolved in the Hyperion Planning 9.3.1 patch 6 and above. If you have your planning preferences set to indent members it will cause forms which have page selections to show as invalid in SmartView.
    You can either patch Planning or turn off the preference. The patches are available from http://metalink3.oracle.com and require account which has been associated with your client ID.
    P.S. Usually it's not a good practice to use the admin id.

    I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question). I haven't had this issue before, I have always used the content library on the screen but haven't used this for about a month. How can I make the Content Library available?

    Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help

  • Sign out of one itunes account and sign into another seperate account on same macbook.  Cannot access itunes library for 2nd account

    Sign out of one itunes account and sign into another seperate itunes account on same macbook.  Cannot access itunes library for 2nd account.  How do I do this?

    iTunes account is not the same as iTunes library.
    iTunes account is what you use to purchase from iTunes.
    iTunes library is what is on your computer.
    You can have items from multiple iTunes accounts in one iTunes library.

  • Aperture won't start up (cannot access this library)

    When I try to open Aperture I am getting a message straight away saying:
    *Aperture cannot access this library*
    +To use this library, make sure its file permissions are set correctly.+
    I cannot find a way to do this. I have restored the disk permissions but that hasn't helped.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Chris

    Thanks for the help guys.
    I had already done the Get Info idea with no luck.
    I ran the Consistency Check for a good 24 hours, in which time it never got above 75% and didn't seem to be doing much. Following other forum posts I quit that and ran the 'Rebuild Library' function from the same menu. After an hour or so this seemed to have done the trick and the program had launched. I then did Consistency Check as well to be on the safe side, which it did a lot faster. Everything now seems good.
    Thanks again.
