I am trying to change the access denied page to add our help desk information and remove "Request access" link. Adding a "p" tag will work but when I try to remove/comment out the line for the asp link for "Request access" it throws me an error. What am I doing wrong? By the way I am editing in notepad directly on the WFE server.

<%@ Assembly Name="Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"%> <%@ Page Language="C#" Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.AccessDeniedPage" MasterPageFile="~/_layouts/simple.master" %> <%@ Import Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages" %> <%@ Register Tagprefix="SharePoint" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %> <%@ Register Tagprefix="Utilities" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %> <%@ Import Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint" %> <%@ Assembly Name="Microsoft.Web.CommandUI, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %> " EncodeMethod='HtmlEncode'/> " EncodeMethod='HtmlEncode'/> " EncodeMethod='HtmlEncode'/> " EncodeMethod='HtmlEncode'/>    

To request access please contact the help desk xxx-xxx-xxxx 

 <asp:HyperLink id="HLinkLoginAsAnother" Text="<%$SPHtmlEncodedResources:wss,accessDenied_logInAsAnotherOne%>" CssClass="ms-descriptiontext" runat="server"/> <br/> <asp:HyperLink id="HLinkRequestAccess" Text="<%$SPHtmlEncodedResources:wss,accessDenied_requestAccess%>" CssClass="ms-descriptiontext" runat="server"/> </td>

What if you just disable access requests?

  • You mean comment out?? I am sorry..I cannot see the images you attached above Commented Sep 11, 2017 at 21:02
  • No, I mean this. Go you "Site settings" --> "Site permissions" ---> In the ribbon go to "Permissions" tab --> "Access Request Settings" ---> un-check"Allow access request" Commented Sep 11, 2017 at 21:04
  • Yes that works for "Request Access". The thing is I want to remove "Sign in as a different User" as well. Commented Sep 11, 2017 at 21:08

    Never change any file in the 14/15/16 hive. Your changes will likely be lost on a patch. Use master page modifications instead. Commented Sep 11, 2017 at 21:17
  • Agree with Trevor. Don't modify the OOB files, you can copy Access denied file to a different location and remove markup you don't want. Then check out my answer how to apply the new custom page. Commented Sep 11, 2017 at 21:21

For SharePoint 2010, this is the way to create your custom page. Quick and dirty way:

  • Go to 14 hive folder and create a folder "CustomPages"
  • Put your custom .aspx or HTML file there. For example, call it Custom_Access_Denied.aspx

  • Run PowerShell command:

    $webApp = Get-SPWebApplication http://yoursite $webApp.UpdateMappedPage([Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebApplication+SPCustomPage]::AccessDenied,"/_layouts/CustomPages/Custom_Access_Denied.aspx") $webApp.Update()

More info here

Update:

Proper way would be:

  • Create a custom WSP solution
  • Add your custom AccessDenied.aspx page to the solution
  • Create a Feature and with Feature receivers that apply a custom page and revert it back to the OOB one when feature is deactivated.

Update 2:

The reason you cannot remove ASP.NET controls from the ASPX file is that somewhere in in code behind, in OOB SharePoint DLL, these controls are referenced. I strongly advice against modifying this file, but if you still want to do it - just wrap the controls you want to hide in a div :

<div style='display:none'> <asp:HyperLink id="HLinkLoginAsAnother"... </div>

  • Thank you for the detailed steps. I had followed the same steps as above except the powershell command was as below. Set-SPCustomLayoutsPage -Identity "AccessDenied" -RelativePath "/_layouts/15/custompages/AccessDeniedNew.aspx" -WebApplication "http:/mywebapplication/" Commented Sep 12, 2017 at 14:55
  • Ah... I see what you mean.. I've updated the answer. Commented Sep 12, 2017 at 15:03
  • Your explanation makes sense. Will try doing that. Thank you so much Commented Sep 12, 2017 at 15:06
