I have a root site, (root site collection), I created a sub site with break inheritance from root site (remove inheritance). I gave user1 permission to the sub site, but he has no permissions on root site. when he browses to sub site he gets Access Denied. I don't know why. I used a module to provision my images and css files on root web which the sub site uses as well (same master page). can it be because of that? how can i fix this problem? thank you.

Maybe, check the user has permissions to master page, CSS and images. If we didn't had permission on those files, we always get the AccessDenied.

And make sure they are checked in, published as major versions and approved. – PirateEric Apr 5 '12 at 12:00

In such cases, it's always better to put your Images, CSS etcs in the Master Page Gallery (_catalogs/masterpage). Even anonymous users have permission to the files stored here so you wont have any permission issues accessing this gallery from a sub site with broken inheritance.

Hi, I have still same problem. I moved CSS and Javascript files to 14 hive by using Sharepoint mapped folder on Visual Studio and My master page is in _catalogs/masterpage but still I get access denied for sub sites. any idea? thanks. – Medes Sep 24 '12 at 10:37
AT the risk of reviving a very old question - how do you do this in VS 2012? I'm having no luck finding what the mapped path setup should be to deploy this in a WSP. – MikeBaz Feb 19 at 3:04
You will have to use a Module to deploy your JS and CSS files. Here is an example in VS 2010 but the process is exactly the same. learningsharepoint.com/2011/05/15/… – Vardhaman Deshpande Feb 19 at 8:40
