sharepoint designer can and should be enabled on the web application level (CA, application management, manage web applications, pick one, general settings, sharepoint designer).

after it is enabled on the web app level, you will then be able to use it on site collections, provided that you have enough permissions, and you are located in the root site collection

web application settings (central admin)

/_admin/WebApplicationList.aspx

site collection settings (root site collection)

/_layouts/SharePointDesignerSettings.aspx

  • thanks Tiago i have seen that "Allow Site Owners and Designers to Customize Master Pages and Page Layouts" is disabled by server administrator so it means that i cant enable it by my self even if im site collection owner ? – avis Jul 29 '14 at 12:56
  • exactly. those settings are inherited from the web application level and if enabled, they can then be customized on the site collection level – Tiago Duarte Jul 29 '14 at 13:04
  • can you give me the link of the "site application level" i don't have direct accesses to there .. and i will check if i have promotions to do it .... thanks – avis Jul 29 '14 at 13:34
  • answer updated. you can just ask an admin to enable SPDesigner for your web application – Tiago Duarte Jul 29 '14 at 13:41
  • i have promitions for SP Designer the problem is that i dont have promitions for eCustomize Master-pages ... thanks anyway – avis Jul 29 '14 at 16:42

there are couple environments on sharepoint one of them is not allowed to work on sharepoint designer and modify things like a master page, the reason is that those sites are less flexible for design but easier to upgrade the version of the sharepoint environment for example upgrade from SP2010 to SP 2013

so this is the reason that i couldn't see that option
