Quick tip: Access Denied when editing navigation (areanavigationsettings.aspx) in MySites

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.
