I have installed SharePoint in the server with Local User Account. i.e. The local User is the System Account for MOSS. But in our server we have blocked all local users to login to Sharepoint site. Only Domain users having access to the site can login. So, if I add my login-id to Central Administration's "Site Collection Administrators" or in "Farm Administrators" group, Will I be able to perform all the activities that a System Account can perform?

Hi,There are a powerful way to do your request is add a policy fo your account, you can add a web application policy for any account you want and while seeting up this policy, select System account check box, with this way your account similar as system account,1- open central administration.2- go to application management tab.3- under application security, select policy for web application.4- set up a policy for your account at any web application, Don't forget to check account operate as a system, as you request.Best Regrads, Ahmed Madany

Thanks Ahmed, In Policy for Web Application, I can set up the policy for Web Applications only. But what about Central Admin? I cannot add the policy to Central Admin. So, How do I ensure that I can perform all the activities in Central Admin that the System Account can do? Thanks,

A Farm Admin controls and has full access to central admin. Adding someone to it grants the previliges you require.I LOVE MS..... Thanks and Regards, Kshitiz (Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.)
