System folder not visible - sitecore

I have role named "GCP US Alias and Redirect" and I have given full access permission for "/sitecore/system/Aliases" and its descendants as in screen shot below.
Now I have assigned "GCP US Alias and Redirect" role to a user, When I login to sitecore as "GCP US Alias and Redirect" user I don't see "/sitecore/system" folder. I can just see "/sitecore/content" folder as in below screen shot.
I can see System folder when searched it by GUID as shown in below screen shot.
What do I do to make it visible at initial place when I open content editor?

Switch to the View tab and select Hidden items and Entire tree checkboxes. They are unchecked by default for non-admin users.
If you don't see the View tab, make sure that either your role has Read access to it (/sitecore/content/Applications/Content Editor/Ribbons/Ribbons/Default/View and /sitecore/content/Applications/Content Editor/Ribbons/Chunks/View in core database) or that your role inherits from e.g. sitecore\Sitecore Client Designing role (check if that role doesn't have too much access rights for your custom role first).

In Sharepoint 2013, how do I hide the content of a List?

I want to restrict users from seeing the content of a list when they navigate to "site/Lists//AllItems.aspx". All I want them to see is the message "There are no items to show in this view of the "" list." I've already checked permissions but everything is set properly. We are not using audience targeting.
Configure the list view to use a filter that returns no result. For example, if the smallest ID in the list is 9, set the filter to show ID equals 8
Such hacks will not prevent savvy users from viewing the data though. Access and permissions should be configured properly. Consider removing user access to that list entirely, so only administrators can see it.
First break permission on your list or library by "Stop Inheriting Permissions"
Go to the list, library, or survey and open it.
Go to the Permissions page using the steps in the previous section.
To break permissions inheritance from the parent, select Stop Inheriting Permissions.
Assign unique permissions in SharePoint 2019, 2016, or 2013 server
You must break inheritance from the parent site before you can grant unique permissions. Once you've broken inheritance using the steps in the section above, follow these steps to grant unique permissions:
Go to the list, library, or survey and open it.
Go to the Permissions page using the steps in the previous section.
Select Grant Permissions on the Permissions tab.
Delete Unique Permissions button
Note: If the list or library is inheriting from the parent, you won't see Grant Permissions.
In the Share... dialog box, make sure Invite people is selected, and then type the names of the people or group you want to grant access to in the Enter names or email addresses... box.
Share dialog box
Add a personal message if you like.
Check or uncheck Share everything in this folder, even items with unique permissions. This will grant or restrict access to items you already set unique permissions for. (This option is only available for folders.)
The permission level granted is set to Edit by default, which means the people you invite can make some changes to the list, library, or survey. If you want to grant a different permission level like Read only, click Show options and change the selection in the Select a permission level box.
An email message will be sent to everyone in the Invite people box. If you don't want this to happen, click Show options, and uncheck Send an email invitation.
When you're done, click Share.
Hope this can solve your issue:

User without permission can see the list with no items to show instead of Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you.at shrepoint

At microsoft sharepoint the permission of list is already updated, but user without permission still can see the list at left hand side quick launch, and when enter the link it shown with no items to show instead of Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you.
Unexpected
Expected
You have probably added the list to a sitepage.
Permissions work differently for sitepages and apps.
If you grant a user permission to view a sitepage you implicitly grant the permission to view any webpart on that sitepage.
If the user does not have permission to view the contents of the app inside of the webpart, the app will display as having no content.
To get the error message you desire when no read permission was granted, you have to share the URL of your list.
Go to you site contents (gear icon top right corner) and click on your list. Now copy the URL from your navigation bar and share it with your users.

Sitecore Custom role permissions for experience editor

We need to add a custom role which should have edit permissions on the page but should be able to add components\create new content. The user shouldn't be able to publish content or add new pages. He can edit page and add\create relevant components\content on the page. Currently, we've added below roles to the custom role and denied 'create' permission to the role on the entire content tree except for relevant page templates and placeholder settings.
Sitecore Designer
Sitecore client authoring
But while adding content in experience editor user is getting 'you don't have access to add content' error. What should be the exact set of permissions to be able to add content to pages but not create pages.
By default items are denied access and you need grant the specific access on the items in question. To be able to edit an item a user will need the Write permission.

How do I enable editing features in Sitecore page editor?

I'm using Sitecore 7.2 and trying to allow a user to set things like datasources and some custom parameters on sublayouts in page editor mode. The user is a member of sitecore\Designer and sitecore\Author, but when that user tries to edit the component properties, the fields appear grayed out/disabled.
I am able to enable these options by setting a user as an admin, but don't want to grant quite that much power to this particular user.
Here is how tried it and it works on Sitecore 7.2
Create a new user called cbarnes (and in your case if there are other content editors)
Create a new Role - call it say SP Content Editor Authoring
Make that role a member of sitecore\Author and sitecore\Designer. This way it inherits everything from those two roles.
Make the user cbarnes one of the members of that role.
Lastly go to the security editor and give Write permission on the item after selecting the SP Content Editor Authoring Role under Roles and Users section.
Login as cbarnes user and check if it work!
Let us know if this works for you. Happy Sitecoring!
I actually ran into this same issue today on a 7.2 project. While my user had both the sitecore\Designer and sitecore\Author roles as a part of a client-specific author role I created, they were not able to edit rendering parameters.
By default, users in these roles have read-only access the Sitecore\Templates folder. Within this folder I had an additional folder named "Rendering Parameters" where I stored all my rendering parameters templates. I added Write access to the client-specific role for my "Rendering Parameters" template folder and users in that role can now edit and save rendering parameters without elevated permissions.
Use "Access Viewer" tool from Sitecore start menu to define why your user does not have required rights.
By default both roles sitecore\Designer and sitecore\Author have field read and field write access to Layout template section fields. But, it seems that roles have only read access to item that you are trying to edit. You can add write access to that item.

Sitecore restrict access to webpage

I am working on a website that uses Sitecore CMS. An intranet webpart was already created with restricted access.
In this intranet I've created a new page which should only be visible for 1 role. I have created the new role. I tried to mess around with the security of the page in the content editor (Security --> Assign). I published the changes. But no matter what I do, it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Open the sitecore desktop ( http://yoururl/sitecore/shell ), click on the 'sitecore' button, then 'security tools' and 'security editor'.
Select the 'anonymous user' account in the ribbon, click on the chosen page in the tree, and click 'x' near 'read'.
Then click 'select' in the ribbon and choose the proper role. Once again select the chosen node and allow 'Read' rights for the role.
Once it's done, you can use 'Access viewer' app (once again sitecore button and security tools on the desktop) to check whether the rights are set properly.
The trick is probably to deny access for the extranet\Anonymous user and then grant access for the role.
I like to use the Access Viewer or the Security Editor for that, instead of the Content Editor as it gives you a better overview.
Make sure to put inheritance to good use so you don't have to set security to each item individually but rather on the root of the site (if possible).
I advice you to take a look at the Sitecore Security Administrators Cookbook: http://sdn.sitecore.net/upload/sitecore6/securityadministratorscookbook-usletter.pdf
