STS: You Cannot View a Page to Which You Should Have Access
This article was previously published under Q317389
When you browse a SharePoint team Web site, you cannot view pages to which you should have access. The
Enter Network Password dialog box may appear repeatedly, or you may receive the following error message:
You are not authorized to view this page.
This issue may occur if a hexadecimal number has been manually assigned to the GlobalRightsMask string value in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\All Ports\
To resolve this issue, reset the list of rights that are available to users who browse the Web site. To do so, follow these steps:
- Log on to the SharePoint server computer by using an account with administrative rights.
- Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Microsoft SharePoint Administrator.
If you use a Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional-based computer, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then click SharePoint Administrator.
- Click Set list of available rights.
- Click to select the check boxes for the rights that you want to make available, and then click Submit at the bottom of the page.
The GlobalRightsMask value specifies which rights are available to the users of the SharePoint Web. Any right that is removed from GlobalRightsMask is not available to any user of the Web, including the Web administrators. You can modify this value by means of the Microsoft SharePoint Administrator, as described in the "Resolution" section of this article, or with the Owsadm.exe command-line utility.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
