Howdy folks,
Perhaps I have just never noticed this before but I had always thought you could break permission inheritance on every page in a site. I am using SharePoint Foundation 2010, I noticed that the default.aspx on each site does not allow me to break inheritance. Is this normal? The pages inside of the Site Pages folder will let me break inheritance but none of the pages that are not inside of the folder allow me to. Since this client has a ton of pages that are not inside of the Site Pages folder I am wondering what to do.

I couldn’t find anything in SPD but thanks for the ideas.
I have not tried but SharePoint Designer is popping in my head. It may be possible.
Hi Matthew,
That’s normal as breaking permissions goes to elements that exist inside containers, for example lists inside sites, items inside lists.
But in the case of for example blank sites, the default page doesn’t exist inside the site pages library, it’s on the root of your site, so it’s not managed by the security architecture of SharePoint as with the case of other pages in pages or site pages libraries. That goes as well with any other page or file (.css, .js) you create on the root of the website not only the default.aspx.
