Problem: Users getting an “Access Denied” error message while inserting a picture via SharePoint 2010 Rich text editor.

Solution:

Found that the particular list is with broken permissions! Although not a perfect solution, granting “Read” access at the site level fixed this problem!

One thought on “Access Denied Error on Insert Picture/Link/Upload File in SharePoint 2010

  • Hi Sir,
    I tried this approach but still it is the same issue. Could you please let me know what is the other reason. I have also unique permission to the libraries but at site level I have given the user as read access. I also check the page source for rteUploadDialog.aspx page and when I click on each link it is opening the file for js, css etc.

    Please advise what I may be doing wrong.

    Many thanks in advance.
