Setting: Wss3 single server install. 1. Under Central Administration > Security Configuration > Update Farm Administrator's group I find my name and BuiltIn\Administrators. 2. Under Central Administration > "Primary Site Collection Administrator" is shown the single account "TFSService" Question: I expected that all "Farm" Aministrator's are automatically Site Colleciton Administrator's, but apparently not. Please clarify this situation for me. TIA, Barkingdog

Hi,One of the features in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 is a two-tier administrative, The following list describes each administrative tier. - Tier 1: Farm-level administrators Administrators in this tier are the top-level administrators and have permissions to and responsibility for all servers in the server farm. Members can perform all administrative tasks in the SharePoint Central Administration Web site for the server or server farm.- Tier 2: Site collection administrators Site collection administrators have the Full Control permission level on their site collectionsrefer to this http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288186.aspxBest Regards, Ammar MCT http://ahmed-ammar.blogspot.com Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
