SharePoint 2010, no service pack installed
Scenario:
- There is a folder in a document library on a site.
- Bob does not have access to the site, nor the document library.
- I break inheritance to the folder and grant Bob access.
- Bob is then given a link to get to the folder in the document library.
- Bob opens the link and is told Access Denied
Troubleshooting:
- All logs give a standard access denied error
- Nothing shows up in the Event Viewer
- Works in other site collections in the same web app
- Exported trouble site collection and reimported into another web app, no luck
- Other mundane things that left me frustrated
Microsoft came to the rescue:
Microsoft Support gave me a lovely command to run:
- disable-spfeature -identity viewformpageslockdown -url http://sitecollection.com
Apparently this happens on site collections that are created based on the publishing template. My site collections that were based on the Team site template didn't have the problem
