NextLabs’ Entitlement Manager Issue #2 - Did not Provide User Friendly Deny Access Message

We are evaluating NextLabs EntitlementManager to restrict the users belong to some security groups toaccess selected site collections with sensitive information even these users have been granted the permission through individual account, any AD groups, or email list groups. After we have set up the policy and restrict the access to a list, we found it block the access but the error message is not user friendly. The error message is different depends on which clients you are coming from. Here are some error messages you might get when you try to access SharePoint with deny access policy applied.

1. If you access the library directly from SharePoint UI, you will get the following error message.

2. If you access the library from designer, you will get the following error message.

3. If you access the document directly from SharePoint UI, you will get the following error message.

4. If you access the document directly from outlook, you will get the following error message.

5. If you access the library from REST URL, you will NOT get the any error message and you will be able to access the list as we reported in previous blog.

We are still testing many other test cases and will update the result.
