Team Site Left Navigation Column Not Visible to Site Members
- Do those people have access to the links in the menu thou? Send a link that's on the left to someone that doesn't see them, and see if they can click and access. Are the links to libraries you trimmed security on, meaning do they not have access to the root of the library it's in etc.?
Hi Chris,
Thank you for responding! Responses to your questions are below.
(1) One of the articles I read, while researching this issue, 'recommended enabling those Site Settings.'
(2) Links in the Quick Launch go to individual folders in a document library on the same site.
(3) Audience targeting was enabled and I disabled it yesterday.
(4) I did find an article with a similar issue that occurred in 2010, but I believe it had something to do with customization of the site's master page, https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/33920/left-nav-only-appearing-for-site-collection-admins.
I realized something this morning as well. When I submitted the site to Members for review on 8/28, they were able to see and access the links in the left nav column.
Thanks again,
Patti
- My apologies for the late reply. I discovered the issue and resolved it. The links in the left nav column point to files that were migrated into SharePoint from a different file server. The permissions migrated to SharePoint with the files as well and only Users with access to the respective files are able to see the links in the left nav column. My mistake, I didn't realize that the permissions would migrate into SharePoint with the files. Thank you for your time and assistance.
