Can someone help me with stsadm command to add user as site collection admin?

hi, you can add site collection admin by the below command and you can refer to this link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc723735.aspx stsadm -o adduser -url -userlogin Domain\User_Name -useremail someone@example.com -role Site_Group_Name -username "users Display Name -siteadmin

Hi, the -o adduser adds users to "site groups". Siteowner: Stsadm operation (Office SharePoint Server) adds users as site collection administrators: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262637(office.12).aspx Example: stsadm.exe -o siteowner -url <url> [-ownerlogin <DOMAIN\name>] [-secondarylogin <DOMAIN\name>] Cheers,Daniel Bugday Web: SharePoint Forum Blog: SharePoint By Bugday

If I add someone as site owner, will it replace existing site owner or it will add new user as new site owner of the site?

New user. Cheers,Daniel Bugday Web: SharePoint Forum Blog: SharePoint By Bugday

OK... here is wht I did. I added to 2 users and I could see them in 'Site Collection Admins'. I excuted the command again with another 2 users. The both 2 new users replaced the existing 'Site collection Admins'.

Strange, i tried to add a user to the visitors group, and then added another user to the same group which added the second user to the list. Did you run -o siteowner or -o adduser? Daniel Bugday Web: SharePoint Forum Blog: SharePoint By Bugday

1st I executed stsadm -o siteowner -url http://sharepoint/sites/subsite/ -ownerlogin domain\user1 -secondarylogin domain\user2 User1 and User2 get added as an 'Site collection admins'. 2nd I executed stsadm -o siteowner -url http://sharepoint/sites/subsite/ -ownerlogin domain\user3 -secondarylogin domain\user4 User1 and User2 are removed and I can see only User3 and User4 as 'Site Collection Admins'

Try to use stsadm -o adduser with the siteowner propertyDaniel Bugday Web: SharePoint Forum Blog: SharePoint By Bugday

That's mean.... there is no way I can add multiple users to 'Site Collection Admins' tab using stsadm operation.
