Just sign in to the site as a SCA and you will see “Site Collection Administrators” as an option under people and groups, that page has a people picker (still limited to people only) but you can put as many in there as you like. Not sure why the CA site does it differently because there is no difference. It is still a pain having to manage it for individual users though!

What a pain! Sadly, just like site member groups, MOSS seems to love the idea of users over groups. :\ I did actually think of a simple enough solution to this. Just make a copy of the current page and change the field to people and groups.

Clark Sent: Tuesday, 22 September 2009 3:19 PM To: ozmoss@ozmoss.com Subject: RE: Site Collection Admin - use group Hey Paul, I don’t have a solution, more just a question of use... 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...
