Missing webpart in SharePoint.

In some cases we tried to edit the page and tried to add web part click on Add a Web Part link but in the top ribbon we can able to see only Apps inside the categories, we verified the permissions for that particular user having the Full Control to the site.

Resolution:

If we are currently using sub site in this case, we don’t have permissions to access the top level site (site collection), at least the users having read access to the top level site (site collection) or at least read permissions to the web part gallery available at top level site (site collection).

Once we granted the read permissions to the users to the root site (site collection) or web part gallery then only users can able to add the web part to their site with all available web parts, because the web part gallery is available only at top level site collection only and they can able to see all the web part categories without any problems.
