Access denied creating document set

kmktnnHi, in SharePoint, having Edit permissions on a document library is not enough to create a Document Set the user will receive an "Access Denied" error unless they also have at least Read permission at the site level.
This happens because the creation process requires access to site-level resources, such as the Document Set content type and welcome page. Granting permissions to specific libraries (Site Assets, Styles Library, Master Page Gallery, etc.) does not resolve the issue, as SharePoint makes internal calls to system folders like _layouts/15, which cannot be individually permissioned.

The only supported workaround is to grant Read access to the site, but visibility can be restricted using custom navigation, audience targeting, and tailored permission levels. Currently, there is no way to allow Document Set creation without extending Read access to the entire site.
