Site Owner gets blank Site Contents and Files Not Found?

I have a user that is in the owners group for a site, but starting last week she started seeing the Site Contents page as just blank (header, but no content). If I send her a link directly to a List page, which she needs to update, she gets only "Page not found". She can see the homepage of the site fine. 

 

I have tried removing her permissions and re-adding her. I have had her log in and log out and clear cookies. I created a test user that has the exact same permissions and with that user I can see everything. 

 

What else can I do? This is a senior person in the business who is not going to have the time to get on a support call with Microsoft and without being able to replicate it myself, I don't think it would do any good for me to open a ticket myself.

  • Agree with Kevin, just add them as site collection admin. Assuming there isn't a bunch of subsites they shouldn't have access too.

      Thanks everyone for the tips. Making her a site administrator didn't affect anything. She works in a different office but next time she's here I'm going to get on the machine myself and see what I can figure out.

       

       

  •  cprothero How is the users internet connection? I've noticed that happening periodically when there's not enough bandwidth - specifically on the Site Contents page.

  • Have you tested in different browsers? If this is SharePoint Online, does the user's account still have its Office 365 license applied?

     

    Have you tried adding this user as a Site Collection Admin instead of just to the owners group?
