RE: Site Collection Admin - use group [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]
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.

Agreed that's not the same thing. 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...

RE: Site Collection Admin - use group
That's just the Full Control permission in the site collection, which isn't the same as site collection admin As far as I know there isn't a way to use any sort of group for this, which sucks - They have a SharePoint group in CA for Farm Administrators (and I'm pretty sure you can put AD groups in there) but for site collection admin you have to select only specific people without the use of groups, that's a bit of a fail in my book Regards, Brian Farnhill Blog: <http://blog.brianfarnhill.com/> http://blog.brianfarnhill.com | Twitter: <http://twitter.com/BrianFarnhill> @BrianFarnhill | Mobile: 0408 289 303 From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Edge Sent: Tuesday, 22 September 2009 2:29 PM To: ozmoss@ozmoss.com Subject: Re: Site Collection Admin - use group try this: - go to http:// <http://%3cyour%20site%20collection%3e/_layouts/aclinv.aspx> /_layouts/aclinv.aspx - add the group - chose give permissions directly - select full control - click ok Edge www.superedge.net <http://www.superedge.net/> On Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 2:19 PM, Paul Noone wrote: CA and at the site collection level.

CA and at the site collection level. It's a people picker field in both.
