Deny on my permissions

Hello,

I am the administrator but I can't edit the pages on a project sub site I created.  I can edit the teamsite and parent site but not this sub site.  I have used the check permissions tool and got a Deny listed:

The following factors also affect the level of access for Barrie Sharp <br> ---
Deny <br> --- Add and Customize Pages <br> --- Add, change, or delete HTML pages or Web Part Pages, and edit the Web site using a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible editor. <br> --- <br> --- --- ---

No idea where this comes from as I have full control.  Any ideas?

hi barrie,

if your permissions for the subsite were not inherited from the parent site, please check the following settings to troubleshot the issue:

  1. go to sharepoint admin center > settings > check if the custom script feature is enabled.

note: wait 24 hours for the change to take effect after turning the feature on. for more information, please refer to:  turn scripting capabilities on and off.

  1. go to the problematic subsite**> site settings > site permissions > permission levels >** click “full control” > check if the “add and customize pages  -  add, change, or delete html pages or web part pages, and edit the web site using a microsoft sharepoint foundation-compatible editor” is selected:

  1. in the permission levels page, click “see also: manage permission levels on parent web site” to check the full control permission level.

if the issue persists, to clarify the scenario, can you confirm the following details:

  1. can you share with us a screenshot about your current permissions of the subsite? to check the permission, please go to the subsite > settings icon like gear > site settings > site permissions > check permissions > type your current account to the box > check now. if there is no full control permission, please grant the full control permission via grant permissions.

  1. create a new subsite in the problematic teamsite to check if you can edit it.
  2. is the affected team site created with the template provided by sharepoint online or a custom one?

regards,

shirley

    Looks like enabling scripting fixed the problem.  Strange default if it causes issues.
