Cannot open pages in sub sites with SharePoint Designer 2010

What is happening? | What the issue is?

Cannot open pages in sub sites with SharePoint Designer 2010 even if users have Design or higher permissions at the sub site level

SharePoint Designer is a powerful application that enables the rapid creation, editing and deployment of content on the SharePoint platform. As such, certain mandatory permission levels are required. You use SharePoint Designer to create and customize data sources, views and forms, workflows, master pages, and more. When performed together, you can create real business solutions on the SharePoint platform.

Points to be noted: SharePoint Designer is designed to request and use SharePoint permissions that grant the rights of managing & designing at the SharePoint site level it is not design to use the permission at a smaller granularity level such as list item level permissions...

Conclusion:

To be able to use SharePoint Designer and modify SharePoint content, an user needs to be a member of one of the following groups at the site collection level: Site Collection Administrators group, the Designers group, and Owners group.

Workarounds:

1. Give the user Design permissions to the Master Page gallery and read permission to the rest of the site.

2. Copy down the Master Page to the sub site instead of inheriting.

Finally, it seems that this issue is by designJ

SharePoint Designer cache

SharePoint designer plays a very important role in terms of site

customizations. If it struck somewhere then it will be a big problem.

Would like to share such incident based on the same. By default all

sharepoint sites are blocked in designer in our enviornment, so if any user

wants to customize the site then he has put a seprate request for that

then site will be allowed to open it in sharepoint designer.

What happens exactely: I have allowed site to open in SPD but user was

not able to open and getting access denied. I tried opening the site in SPD

from my side then it opens fine without any issues so one thing was clear

that this is machine specifc. here cache comes into the picture.

1.   Close SharePoint Designer.

2.   Open My Computer

3.   Go to %System Drive%\Documents and Settings\%user%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\WebSiteCache

4.   Just delete all these directories and everything should work when you boot SPD).

5.   Restart the SharePoint Designer.

In case of any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know.
I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues, Thank you
