문제
I have created new site templates, which are meant to replace old templates. We want to deactivate and remove the old ones so only the new templates are available in template list.
I can deactivate and remove templates that have not been used yet. but when I try to deactivate old templates that have been used up until now, I get an error message saying
I don't have access.
I have owner access to the site. Do I need to have Site Collection administrator rights to be able to do it?
해결책
Yes, it's a permission issue, The site Owner can only deactivate and delete the Site Template
that already not used.
At the other side, the Site Collection Administrator
is responsible for the entire site collection and can deactivate and delete a Site Template
that already used or not.
So you should be a Site Collection Administrator
to be able to deactivate and delete Site Template
that already used.
Note: Once the site is saved as a template it saved in
Solution Gallery
belowWeb Designer Galleries
in the Site Collection,Solution Gallery
is not available in sub siteWeb Designer Galleries
Site Owners are responsible for one part of a Site Collection only, and cannot change anything on Site Collection level. They have full control on one or more subsites, and can grant permissions to users, create lists and subsite ... etc
Site Collection Administrator: is responsible for the entire site collection, has to access to Site Collection wide features in several places including Site Settings, Solutions Gallary ... etc.
