Guys, we
are well are aware about SharePoint Designer and how it can be very useful for
the site customizations. One of my user got this error.
Error Message:
Your current Contributor Settings prevent you from creating, editing
and deleting workflows
Probable Cause:
By
Default the Contributor Settings will be enabled on your site. You will notice
this in the SharePoint Designer task pane.
Resolution:
This is
because your account is present in the Content Authors group, which may
“Restrict the use of some features” as the task pane mentions. This behavior
can be modified if you turn off the "Contributor Settings" in SPD.
1. Open the
site in SharePoint Designer
2. Site
Menu
3. Choose
Contributor Settings.
4. Click
on Disable Contributor settings
5.
Refresh the page you should not see the message.
Important Information:
If you
are a site manager or administrator, you are probably working with various
groups such as Web designers or content authors who are working on different
aspects of a Web site. With so many groups working simultaneously, you are
probably worried that somebody might inadvertently break a site — for example,
by changing the design of the home page, modifying the style sheet, saving
files in a wrong location, or breaking the site navigation or search
functionality. If you are concerned, the good news is that you can avoid these
scenarios by using Contributor Settings to turn on and configure Contributor
mode in Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007.
