SharePoint 2016 root site "/" "Sorry this site hasn't been shared with you"
Scenario:
User get access denied or Sorry this site hasn't been shared with you when they try to browse SharePoint site e.g. https://Sarav.com without /pages/default.aspx.
Complete URL e.g. https://Sarav.com/pages/default.aspx works and the problem only happens when users hit a particular WFE. The problem is because of some of your IIS configurations for that particular web app gets corrupted.
Solution:
Run Powershell as admin on the WFE where the problem is type the following
$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication https://YourSharePointSiteURL.com/
$webApp.Provision()
This re-provisions the IIS site and fixes the issues, also works if you have accidentally deleted the IIS web site.
Hope it helps!
