Sitecore - Can't Access Content Items

Question

I'm trying to access existing content items created by an admin user as a standard content editing user (Content Author, in sitecore terminology I believe) but I'm getting the following error:

The security settings for the current language prevent you from seeing this item. To continue, select another language from the Language drop-down list on the Versions tab.

Any ideas on what's wrong?

Answer 1

It seems that your current user doesn't have the correct "Language Read" en "Language Write" rights on these items.

Open the access viewer, select your current User or Role and click on the "Columns" button and Check the radiobutton for the Language Read and Language Write fields.

Go to the /sitecore/system/languages item, to see the current language rights for your User or Role on this specific language

If your user doesn't have the correct rights for the current language, use the security editor to set the read/write rights on the language.
