Style Code Not Working for Read Only Users !

Hi 

Can anyone help us with this issue. We have created some special Styling code in order to hid the Quick Launch on the home page of our main SharePoint site. The Styling works no problem at all for users with edit rights, however we found that the styling did not work for users with read only access.  What we found was that if we switched on the "Edit Items  -  Edit items in lists, edit documents in document libraries, and customize Web Part Pages in document libraries." in the List Permissions for the Permission Levels for the Read Access group, the Styling then works no problem at all. HOWEVER it then gives those users the ability to EDIT the site page, as it then puts the Edit option on the page top right for the user to click and then mess up the web page, which we can not permit. 

 

SO..... How do we get this styling to work for ALL user types ?

Are you sure it is not a browser issue? Are those users that are having this issue using the same browser as you? Make sure your code is compatible with their browser. May i ask, how you are using and adding that CSS script on to your page?

Hi,

This usually happens when the CSS file is not published or approved, please check it.

If the CSS files uploaded in the Style Library, please check whether you had to check in those CSS files or not.

Hi,

Please try to save your CSS to a .css file and upload to Style Library(check in), then refer it in the page and check whether it working or not.

Best Regards
