sharepoint site owner: Access Denied

Question

I was editing the permissions of my SharePoint site and accidentally ticked my e-mail as well to view only.

I do get requests for permissions but I get looped back to Access Denied. I am the only author and editor of SharePoint site.

How do I restore my full control?

Answer 1

You need to ask your SharePoint Administrator to add your account as site admins to this site.

1. Go to the Active sites page of the new SharePoint admin center and sign in with an account that has admin permissions for your organization.
2. In the left column, click to select a site.
3. Select Permissions. For a group-connected team site, you can add and remove group owners and additional site admins. For other sites, you can add and remove site admins and change the primary admin. Note that if you remove a person as a primary admin, they will still be listed as an additional admin.
