Situation
My Parents went away for a week’s vacation… (wait, that’s a Fresh Prince Song)
A user has access to SharePoint (is able to login somewhere, i.e. not being re-prompted for credentials) but does not have access to a particular list or library but does have a link (maybe via the Quick Launch or Top Link bar where it was statically entered). They are able to ‘Request Access’ to the site.

Note: this is set on a site by site basis.

Nice post!
It saved me a lot of time of trouble shooting, thank you!
