We are cleaning up the permissions in our Sitecore instance and we are running in to users that were granted specific access over the years. Now I would like to put all of our permissions in to roles and only grant rights via roles.
Is there a way to see the rights specifically assigned to a user? We have a small enough number of users that I could fix this manually, but the security viewer shows the cumulative permissions from user rights and role rights.
The query idea actually worked. So you can use Xpath Builder (in Dev Center) for this. It will be a little slow, but gives you the items:
/sitecore/content/myRoot//*[contains(#__Security,'username')]
Josh,
I just released a little script that should help you get moving on this. This script will show you all values of the __security field and allow you to reset them all. You will need to modify to reset for a specific user.

Figured I would throw this out there after some testing with Rocks.
You can report on security from Sitecore Rocks (as mentioned in my comment to Bryan):
select ##ID as ID, ##Name as Name, ##Path as Path, #__Security from /sitecore/content/home//*[contains(#__Security,'xxxx')];
You can also reset the security field with a query too!
update set #__Security = "" from /sitecore/content/home//*[contains(#__Security,'xxxx')];

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:

I have a group of user called "support". I want them to be able to log in the django admin site, view and modifiy the instances of the class "HelpContextual" of the application "support".
So I created a group "support" with the permission support | help contextual | Can change help contextual. The users can log in the django admin site, but they can't see any application.
I tried to give them all the permissions of the "support" application, but still, they can't see the support app. If I use a direct link to change a "help contextual" like this one : admin/support/helpcontextual/5/change/, I get a 403.
I feel like I'm missing something obvious... Can you point it to me ?
Make sure you have done the following steps.
Add group `Support.
Under available permissions select support | help contextual | Can change help contextual from Available Permissions and then make sure you have clicked on the arrow pointing to Change Permissions. This will move the specific permission to Change Permissions.
Click Save.
Create or open users.
Select Active and Staff Users.
Select Support from Available Groups and click the arrow pointing to Chosen Groups. This will move the Support group to Chosen Group.
Don't make any change to User Permissions unless you want to grant additional permissions to any specific user.
Click save.
Have the user logout and log back in.

I had a custom backend and removed the default django authentication backend...
How do I manage users of our tikiwiki?
The tiki process on the server is ran under my name. I am the user of the tikiwiki, but I am not sure I am an admin user.
Most likely not but question one is: How do I find that out?
(my Admin Menu is empty)
Some user contacted me saying her account is "Locked". It so happened that there is no one else to restore it, but me.
Can anyone help where to look? I only used my tikiwiki account to limited extent. Just wrote couple of articles. But never administered.
There is always a built in user in Tiki called "admin" and that is in a group called "Admins" which has permission to do everything, so it sounds like your user isn't in that group.
If the admin user was set up with a valid email account (and you know it and have access to it) then you can get the password reset and a link to make a new one will be emailed to that address. If you can access the installer or the database then there are various other options on how to recover the admin login here: https://doc.tiki.org/Lost+admin+password
Once you have done this and can administer the Tiki again you should add your usual user to the Admins group.
To unlock another user's account you will need to either access the user admin list (once you have admin login again) or if you can get to the database you should be able to clear the relevant field in the database directly using phpmyadmin or similar as a last resort (ask again if you need this much detail).
I have a user who's been assigned the sitecore/Analytics Reporting role (member of Sitecore Client Users), and when I log in with that user I can see Marketing Center, Engagement Analytics and Executive Dashboard. I now want to give this user read access to a content item, but I can't make it work.
First of all, the sitecore/Analytics Reporting role already has read access to the content editor etc (inherited from the Everyone role), so why can't I see it? I created another role with explicit read access to the content item and assigned it to the same user, but I still can't see it. Does anyone know what I need to do for the user to see the content item?
I seen this a few times before with older Sitecore versions. Doing a Sitecore cache clear or IIS reset resolved it at that time.
After checking with Sitecore support they told me you have to add Sitecore Client Designer to your role (even though the Access Viewer shows you have read access you still won't be able to see it until you've added this role).
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
