SharePoint 2010 - /_layouts/userdisp.aspx


SHAREPOINT 2010 – Site User Information unavailable



  • The website declined to show this webpage - 403 error

  • This website requires you to log in.

  • /_layouts/userdisp.aspx




PROBLEM


In a site, when working with a user account, all functions are available except when you click on the user and the user information page does not display. The 403 error appears stating “The website declined to show this webpage.” And “This website requires you to log in”.

The website url shows you cannot reach “https://yourwebsite/_layouts/userdisp.aspx...”

 

FIX


On your SharePoint server browse to the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS and find the userdisp.aspx file. Open the file with Notepad or Visual Studio and find the line that includes Scope=”Farm”. In my file it was at the end of line #13. Change Farm to Web so the line now reads Scope=”Web”. Save the file and test your site.

 

PS – Before making any changes to the userdisp.aspx file make a backup of the original.
