I remember a few months ago looking into adding an AD group to be the SCA and after a few days of looking around and trying different things I gave up on the idea. We wanted it so that when ever we created a new application, we could simply add the ad group to be the SCA and that way as new people started and other left, we didn't have to go around and try to fix add/remove them individually.
If you find a way to do it, please let me know. Fadi ________________________________ From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Adam J.

Are you looking at this function to give the SCA to a group of people (more than two obviously) or just to make changing the SCA person easier though AD management? My thinking is that it is always better to have less SCA's than more as it can limit your legal liability for individuals on your SharePoint environment.

But Brian is right on both counts. Full Control is not the same as site collection admin. And not being able to assign a group to this field truly sucks. :-( Thanks to you both.

Try and see if the solution works for you. because internally actually that page to add primary site collection is an override of that functionality from the page I sent ...you know, the story of the cat and the skinning thing...
