Hi,
This is my first post here and unfortunately I’m reaching out for help rather then contributing in a more beneficial way.Â
As title says we have a site collection where only SCA can create subsites (or change the design of the site for that matter), we are running SharePoint 2013 SP1.
Site Owners can not create sub sites.
Top level site is a portal site, subsites are team sites etc..
We upgraded from 2010 to 2013 however I’m not sure when users became unable to create subsite, I suspect it may have been when we move mysites from our sharepoint-80 web app to its own web app. We don’t use custom master pages or web parts however we run nintex.
I’ve tried the following:
- Create custom Permission levels with manage permissions. create subsite, manage website, enumerate subsite in addition to adding users to the site owner group.
- Ensured that users have read permission on the master page gallery
- Disable and re-enable publishing feature (This was recommended to me but did nothing)
If i create a new web app and site collection its fine however the site collection in question is the main intranet site.
When a user clicks to create a new site they receive the _layouts/15/newsbweb.aspx page no problem when they click on create they receive: “Sorry, you don’t have access to this page ” message.
ULS logs contain:Â
1st error
Failed to create modules from onet.xml when provisioning site at url “http://sharepoint/testsite“ with site definition “(null)”.
 2nd error
Leaving Monitored Scope (Creating Web testsite). Execution Time=1900.1595

3rd error:
SPRequest.CreateWeb: UserPrincipalName=i:0).w|s-1-5-21-2047479520-744375764-1042822891-2048, AppPrincipalName= ,bstrUrl=http://sharepoint/testsite ,bstrTitle=testsite ,bstrDescription=<null> ,nLCID=1033 ,bCreateUniqueWeb=False ,bstrAppWebDomainId=<null> ,bConvertIfThere=False ,bCreateSystemCatalogs=True
If any one could point me in the right direction on how to resolve this it would be greatly appreciated.
CheersÂ
