The Modify My Page link is visible only to members of the Administrators site group in SharePoint Portal Server 2003

SYMPTOMS

If you want to customize the pages of your Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 site so that portal site users can personalize areas of a page, you may find that the Modify My Page link is only visible to members of the Administrators site group.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Modify My Page link does not appear on the page for users who are not members of the Administrators site group, even if the user has the appropriate permissions to add or remove Web Parts and to customize pages.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, edit the portal site page where you want to display the Modify My Page link. To do so:
  1. Start Microsoft Notepad, locate, and then open the .aspx page that you want to modify.
  2. Locate the following line:
    <SPSWC:EditModeSettingsLink runat="server" />
  3. Edit the line that you located earlier in step 2 so that it reads as follows:
    < WebPartPages:SettingsLink runat="server" />
  4. Click Save, and then quit Notepad.
