Instead, only customize the permissions of manually-created groups, and add users to those groups. There are, of course, exceptions, but if there's a way to achieve whatever security objectives you have without breaking this rule, then do it that way. | |

Another thing that you could try is to append the parameter contents=1 to the home page url e.g. yourserver/Pages/HomePage.aspx?contents=1. | |
| May 15, 2015 at 16:20 | comment | added | Arsalan Shahid | My point being, if your permissions are based on being the members of the Owners group, then there is some object in the page on which you don't have permissions to, like a view of a list embedded in the view. If something like this happens, SharePoint will deny access to the whole page. I think this is what is happening in your case. | |
| May 15, 2015 at 16:20 | comment | added | Arsalan Shahid | Site collection administrators are assigned on a per site collection level and have unrestricted access to the whole site collection, despite whatever permissions are applied to any object. Farm Admins, Site Collection Admins and Owners are three different level of security levels. Site Owners do undergo the permissions checking process and can face access denied errors. | |
