The user is not a local server administrator, nor in the
administrators group of our domain. Just a regular user..
he has admin rights on his computer, but that should have
NO bearing on sharepoint sites, which reside on a seperate
server of course..
The user used to be administrator on this sharepoint, but
now has been demoted, deleted, and readded each no matter
what the user still has administrative access to add
users, etc..
So what could one do to further diagnose this problem?
