SharePoint 2013 - Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you

Question

I have created a SharePoint site using stsadm.exe ( SharePoint command line administration tool ). The site has been created successfully. It can be browsed and the site administrator can log-in to the site.

BUT, every other user which was added to site using the command below

stsadm -o adduser -url "http://test.sharepoint2013.com" -userlogin "LAB01\testuser1" -useremail "[email protected]" -role "Full Control" -username "Test User"

the user is added successfully into SharePoint site and the Roles/Permission Levels are also successfully assigned.

But the user CANNOT login to the site. It says "Sorry, this site hasn’t been shared with you."

I have verified the user has proper permission levels assigned and can be seen in site.

There is certainly no such problem in SharePoint 2010/2007.

Please guide. I ll be thankful to you!

Answer 1

"Run As Administrator" your browser, and then access the site.

After trying many other solutions, this worked for me.

The solution is actually quite simple but unfortunately not documented well yet; I had to open and run Internet Explorer as an Administrator.
