Access Denied

When facing an "Access Denied" issue in SharePoint, several factors could be causing this problem. Here are some common troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue:

Check Permissions: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to create a document library.
Browser Cache: Clear the browser cache and cookies to eliminate any cached credentials causing conflicts.
Network Connectivity: Different network configurations (e.g., VPN, firewall settings) on the new laptop might be affecting your connection to SharePoint.
Check if there are any network restrictions or VPN settings that could be interfering with access. Try accessing SharePoint from a different network.
Verify that the new laptop has proper network connectivity to access SharePoint resources.
Firewall Settings: Check firewall settings on the new laptop to ensure they are not blocking access to SharePoint.
Incognito Mode: Try accessing SharePoint in incognito mode to rule out any browser extensions causing the issue.

By following these steps, you can troubleshoot and resolve the "Access Denied" error in SharePoint when creating a new document library.

Hello Manoj, Have you used a different browser to see if the issue is browser-specific?
If No, YOu can check for the credential Manager on your laptop and see if has any web credentials stored in there and if yes, they are correct or not.
