I tried to create a Web Application using Central Admin. It created web app without displaying any error, I can browse site too after creating site collection and that, but content db got no permissions at all.

I am using SPAdmin account for creating Web App and also added it as SysAdmin in SQL server. If I create Content DB using Power Shell it gets right permissions I guess e.g. SPFarm.

In order to create a web application via GUI (CA) with windows authentication you have to be:

  • a member of the Farm Administrators SharePoint group
  • a member of the local Administrator group on the computer running Central Administration.

With PowerShell, you need to add permission using Add-SPShellAdmin command, and also make sure to be a member of the local Administrators group on the computer running Windows PowerShell.

I would recommend you to identify the main service accounts such as Application Pool account, Farm admin account, SP/SQL Server Installation account etc to identify the root cause of problem.

Happy SharePointing!
