SharePoint 2007: Becoming Administrator of Entire Web Application

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 :)

Create a view that shows all announcements in the site collection
CrossList Mode - query for items across multiple lists in multiple Web sites in the same site collection e.g. “show all tasks that are due today”, “show all documents created by me in the site collection”, or “show all announcements in the site collection”.

SharePoint 2007: Changing the required Title field in SharePoint Lists

Have you ever been flustered and frustrated about the fact that you have to always use the Title in a SharePoint List item?!

Looks like this can be changed from the Item Site Content Type (Site Actions > Site Settings > Site Content > Site Content Types > (List Content Types) > Item > Title and then change to Optional / Hidden or what you require. I honestly don't know the consequnces of changing this to optional / hidden so handle with care and I haven't tried but will probably check it out in the future (probably set it to not required before I start creating new lists. This would give me the flexibility to choose whether or not to require the Title field in a List.
