Re: Server Adminstrators & SharePoint

Hi Mike,

Can you tell me which kb article?

Cheers,

I think we need to know whether he is talking about WSS 2.0 or WSS 3.0.

It seems to me that his description is a typical (and correct one) for
the default installation of WSS *2.0*, whereas you seem to more be
talking about 3.0 ...

Once we've got WSS 2.0 or 3.0 established (and for SPS or MOSS this is
of course the wrong newsgroup) we can move on with his question.

(Which AJ for WSS 2.0 means that you follow a KB article and turn off
this all-powerful right for Lcal admins)

Hi All,

I have an issue that i would appreciate some help on.

As i understand it, if you are a local administrator on a SharePoint server
(like server techs usually are) you are given implied administrative access
to SharePoint from an application perspective also .

Can anyone confirm this?

Also, if a site administrator is concerned about protecting particular
business documentation from such people how do they go about locking them
out? Is this possible? Have tried in the normal fashion, but it appears there
local admin kicks in and their SharePoint permissions overrided.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

There is no implied permission, in a literal sense.

A site collection owner can always get to everything.

Web application policies override any site-level settings.

I wrote about security here that might be helpful:
