Public Joomla items producing a 403 access denied - joomla2.5

I've recently upgraded from Joomla v1.5.26 to v2.5. This installed v2.5 in /jupgrade.
I had to reinstall K2 in /jupgrade, and the new K2 picked up my old K2 items, as the database had been copied.
However, all of the K2 items had a blank Access level. This meant when I selected the item from the front end navigation menu, I was requested to login. After I logged in, I received a 403.
I then set the access level to Public for all of the K2 items, and ensured the menu entries were pointing to the correct K2 items.
However, the 403 error remains on the front end.
Why is a page forbidden when its access level is Pubic?

Found out that jUpgrade does not set permissions on articles OR categories.
Once I set permissions on categories, articles displayed OK.

Sitecore - not able to assign roles to new user

In my sitecore content authoring, i'm trying to create new user and to assign the roles. But the roles are not being added to the user. Not sure what is going wrong. I have done this before, in same authoring server and i succeeded.
Below are the screen shots.
In Ribbion -> Usermanager -> New : Below screen appeared and filled these details.
Clicked on Edit Roles and added the roles.
Clicked on Ok. I don't see roles being added to the list.
Here are the few information :
1. I'm using sitecore 6.6
2. Tried in latest chrome and Mozilla browser.
This is a known issue . Here is the reference into Sitecore Knowledge Base site :

Front-end edition K2 with joomla2.5

I've followed first the basic advice given here (http://www.templatemonster.com/help/joomla-how-to-enable-frontend-editing-in-k2-component.html). I believe without doing anything wrong.
My problem is that even logged in as an admin on the frontend I cannot edit K2 articles. Because the Edit button does not appear a the top of my article. It works for Joomla article though just K2's seems to be a problem.
Anyone knows where I should look into ? I'm not familiar with Joomla btw.
Thanks a lot, cheers,
NM
By default you can't edit K2 items in the front end as you can do with Joomla articles.
In K2 you need to create a user group with front-end editing privilege.
Joomla administration-> menu K2 -> User Groups
Create a group with all privileges and no filter for the K2 categories at the bottom. Next you need to assign users who will have editing privileges to this group. Still in the K2 administration panel, click Users on the left menu. From the list of users displayed, Edit the ones that should be assigned to the group previously created.
You can now login in the front-end of the site and you should be able to edit the K2 items.

Determine which role is restricting access in Sitecore

I've got a Sitecore Multilist that has several pre-selected items on it. Certain users aren't able to see the items on the list, because they don't have read access to the items.
The problem I've run into is that these users have some 12 roles and I can't figure out which one is restricting their read access to the items in the list. Is there an easy way to figure out which role needs to be modified to give them read access to these items?
I'm running Sitecore 7.2
You can use Sitecore Access Viewer application from Sitecore Desktop (Sitecore -> Security Tools -> Access Viewer).
Select chosen user
Find item which is not allowed for that user
Click on the 'Read' column.
You will see explanation why access is denied in right column

Change/Edit Page Level Permission SharePoint 2013

I am working on a SharePoint Site 2013, and I have multiple .aspx pages.
Can you please guide me, how can I restrict a specific page to be viewable by few members only.
If its a site page, go to library where it is stored and change item level permission of page, so that it can be viewed by only few members.
If its an application page, in page load event check current logged in user's permission and group and according show him the page or redirect him to access denied page.
Not sure what you don't want them to see but each list object can have it's own permissions so you can stop inheritance on a specific List.. remove everyone leaving only the site owner, and the group you want to have access.
The Page will should.. but it won't show any contents.

Deleting in Django Admin throws a 403 error

I am attempting to delete a record from the Django admin interface. I click the check box then select "Delete Selected " from the action drop down and select 'Go'. This immediately throws a 403 error.
This is the area I am attempting to delete from that gets the 403s:
The model that is having problems deleting has two inline elements. However, will allow me to delete if I go to each individual record and select delete from there.
It works from here (after clicking 'Third' from the above image)
I watched the request in Firebug and it does not seem different than when I delete a record on a different model and it works.
This is the output of Firebug:
Parameters application/x-www-form-urlencoded
_selected_action 2
action delete_selected
csrfmiddlewaretoken lr6EAAPGJWJBWIm6NxIoyt8fWzfuNxj9
index 0
select_across 0
Source
csrfmiddlewaretoken=lr6EAAPGJWJBWIm6NxIoyt8fWzfuNxj9&action=delete_selected&select_across=0&index=0&_selected_action=2
I am unsure where to go to troubleshoot this error since I haven't modified the admin panel at all and the only thing in the logs is a 403 error. How can I get the delete at the model level to work?
Edit I have delete permissions to this model. It also occurs if the user deleting is the superuser.
I was not able to resolve this in a way that I wanted. I would have liked to keep the ability to delete from the overview page, but since it worked if I deleted an individual entry one at a time, I settled for this work around.
Add actions = None to the admin.py that contains this model. This removes the action drop down, preventing a user from selecting an option that will throw the 403 error.
