Why can't users create pages with Full Control for a site

Friday, September 5, 2008

(For MOSS 2007) (WSS 3.0?)

"A number of our users are supposed to be able to create pages.

Even with Full Control over the site (or subsite) they cannot create pages.

They get the Create Page option on Site Actions navigation, however after clicking it they get an Access Denied page."

------------

The answer (given by Steve Howard referring to a Todd Madison answer) was that read access needs to be granted to the Master Page Gallery.

(Todd) "the users who are trying to create the page need "read" permission to the Master Page Gallery"

Site Actions --> Manage Content and Structure --> Master Page Gallery -->
Edit Properties --> Permissions for this document library --> add user/group
and grant "read" permission

"Craig" later added "You may also need to add your users .. into the Restricted Readers group, so that they get read access to the Style Library".
