i have created a site and made some people have full control access to they can assist in modifying the main page. when i try to edit the page, and was about to add a web part, the list for all web part is missing. when i ask the other account to check, i was surprised that the options are available for his account. im not sure where to check, all our accounts have full control, all other accounts i granted are able to view the webparts but not me. i know that being a site collection admin will make this options available, but why do the other accounts have them when they are not site admins. i believe we are using sharepoint 2007.

confirmed! it is 2007 SharePoint Server 2007 Version: 12.0.0.6529 my apologies for the incomplete details.

yes xwindow, i tried doing that and i still cant see the full webpart list. but whoever i add and give full control is able to see the webparts. to be clear, the standard webparts are visible but the all webparts are not. thanks!

Did you try logging into any other system and see if the issue remains? That will confirm the issue with your account, else something with your system...xwindow

help guys.

> i believe we are using sharepoint 2007. We need accurate information. So we need you to tell us that you are using a particular product NOT that you believe you have something. Go to either the ? at the top-right of the screen or access Site Settings. Both should tell you which SP product and give the full version number. 12.etc. is a SharePoint 2007 product. Please let us know. (and people please wait until there is a reply to this question before you post replies in the thread) Moderator P.S. There are two SharePoint 2007 products - WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007. Sometimes it is important to know which.
