Create a Site Collection Administrator with stsadm

  • Artículo

Taking over administration for SharePoint after a previous administrator was ‘let go’ always has little gotchas that pop up. One of those can be needing to create a new site collection administrator.  If you can’t get access to the site, you can use stsadm to create a site collection administrator.

stsadm -o adduser -url URLOFSITECOLLECTION -userlogin USERLOGIN -useremail "USEREMAIL" -role "Full Control" -group "Farm Administrators" -username "USERDISPLAYNAME" –siteadmin

 

Now you have a user that has access to undo all of the previous Administrator’s SharePoint badness.

    To undo all the sharepoint badness, one can see the Report Log. So, dont forget to activate Reporting in the site Reporting.
