On Circular Logic.
I manage a SharePoint site, and have set up unique permissions for 70 distinct libraries. Sometimes, for reasons unknown to me, after having not touched the library permissions setup, my access will magically change. This access issue has been a recurring problem, and is the bane of my existence. Because I know it's not me screwing around with it.
This morning, I noticed that my rights levels were not correct for 2 libraries. This is immediately after someone on our Sharepoint team had been working in the live site. They weren't supposed to have touched these libraries, but who knows. One had been completely disabled, and the other had been downgraded so I was no longer "effective administrator" on it. I sent a message back to the gentleman requesting it fixed.
Please reflect on the conversation below and tell me who you think is having issues working in this system.
Me: I have no access to this library. Can you fix it?
Him: Why don't you request access from the owner of the library?
Me: But...I am the owner, and my access has been disabled. How can I grant access to myself if I cannot access the library to change permissions on the library...?
Him: OK...why don't I request access from you, and you can grant me access so that I can grant you access.

Love,
Hannah
