Becoming Administrator of Entire Web Application http://msmvps.com/blogs/shane/archive/2007/01/21/become-administrator-of-the-entire-web-application.aspx
- You can choose to set a number of policies for each web application including setting the administrators (group) as having Full Access, thus becoming administrator of the entire web applications.
- Go to SharePoint Central Administration > Application Management
Under Application Security click on Policy for Web Application > Add Users - Confirm your settings on the screen (defaults should be what you want) and click Next
- Now enter your user or group of users
- Click the box beside Full Control – Has full control (or the policy which you want to apply to that group) and Click Finish.
Cheers to Shane :)
