Sharepoint 2010 - Access denied... even for farm admins

If you’re getting Access Denied for all users even after configured the Super User and Super Reader cache accounts…

I recently deployed a new site collection into a new content database. As soon as I tried to hit it, I got unexpected errors. I checked the logs which revealed the familiar stuff about the portalsuperuser and portalsuperreader accounts not being configured - object cache misses and so on, for example:

Object Cache: The super user account utilized by the cache is not configured. This can increase the number of cache misses, which causes the page requests to consume unneccesary system resources.

If you encounter an issue, specifically in MySites, where you get an Access Denied error trying to edit the navigation, check whether you have the publishing feature enabled. I had this same issue when “Enterprise features” were re-enabled at the Central Admin, which for some reason enabled that on the My Site host, which isn’t needed.
