I get an access denied message if I try to edit the default Welcome
announcement.
I have even added all authenticated users to the owners group and I still
get access denied.
Any ideas what might be going on?
Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for your post!

I am sorry I cannot reproduce the issue, in order to narrow down the
problem's scope, could you let us know some more detailed information:

1.      Did the sub site use unique permissions when creating?
2.      If the sub site used unique permissions, you said you have added users
to site owners group, please make sure the group has permission to the sub
site (go to the sub site>People and Groups>select the site Owners
group>select "Settings"> click "View group permissions");
3.      Did the issue only happen on the default Announcement list, or all the
lists? If it happened on the Announcement list, please make sure has
permissions in the list.

Let me know the result if possible.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback.

From your post, we know that the users have  adequate permissions to edit
the sub site and list item. Could you please tell me was the site
collection a customized site collection? For example firstly export a site
collection and then import the site collection to a new site collection.

If so, it is a known issue that we cannot edit new list items on customized
site collection and it was fixed in February Cumulative Update, It is
suggested to apply the Cu to fix the issue. Please visit Updates Resource
Center for SharePoint Products and Technologies
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/sharepointserver/bb735839.aspx)
to get the latest update.

But for the existed sites that have the issue, you can fix them with the
code of this blog:

Hope it can help you.

Hello,

I am interested in this issue. Would you mind letting me know the result of
the suggestions? If you need further assistance, feel free to let me know.
I will be more than happy to be of assistance.

To Susan, for the existed sites that have the issue, you can fix them with
the code of this blog:
http://www.beyondweblogs.com/post/SharePoint-security-access-denied-p...
on-corruption-problem-Edit-Item-and-Access-Workflows.aspx
For your information, I list the workarounds in our internal database:
For existing lists, you can run the following code to fix it. This here is
a sample peace of code that should add the appropriate attribute to the
list having the issue:
        void FixField()
        {
            string RenderXMLPattenAttribute = "RenderXMLUsingPattern"
            string weburl = "<http://localhost>"
            string listName = "test2"
            SPSite site = new SPSite(weburl);
            SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
            SPList list = web.Lists[listName];
            SPField f = list.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName("PermMask");
            string s = f.SchemaXml;
            Console.WriteLine("schemaXml before: " + s);
            XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument();
            xd.LoadXml(s);
            XmlElement xe = xd.DocumentElement;
            if (xe.Attributes[RenderXMLPattenAttribute] == null)
            {
                XmlAttribute attr =
xd.CreateAttribute(RenderXMLPattenAttribute);
                attr.Value = "TRUE"
                xe.Attributes.Append(attr);
            }
            string strXml = xe.OuterXml;
            Console.WriteLine("schemaXml after: " + strXml);
            f.SchemaXml = strXml;
        }

Have a nice day!
