The Baretta

The other day a few users were complaining that they were unable unable to edit pages on a site that they had Contribute Access to. After many tries at checking everything was published, I found this blog from Harry Chen: http://sharepointconnoisseur.blogspot.com.au/2011/03/access-denied-issue-while-editing.html Turns out, that read access had been removed (unsure how!) from the site collections Master Page & Page Layout gallery.  Following Harry's instructions I was able to add the access back to the library and the issue was resolved.

The issue is when ActiveX or Silverlight comes into play, where some browsers either do not use ActiveX/Silverlight or render it differently, or do not render it at all. So, best way to see how they work is to test, so here’s some in...
