I have SharePoint 2010 Server. I have put myself as a Site Collection Administrator.

Somehow someone was able to check out a document with the System Account. I, thinking that I had just as much permission as the System Account, went to check in the file, but was not presented with the option.

I had to log in with the system account to check the document back in.

How do I get my Site Collection Administrator account to have the same amount of permission levels as the System Account ... without actually using the System Account as my log in.

What you need to do is add the Site Collection Administrator account as a Farm Administrator, which is essentially what the System Account is as far as permissions are concerned.

  • I have already had the accounts in the Farm Administrator list and then added them to the site Collection Administrator (some were missing). Still, I am not able to check back in a document that was checked out by the "System Account". Any other thoughts or suggestions? – ZombieCode Dec 4 '12 at 20:29
  • I should state that adding them as the Site Collection Admin worked for their permissions, but the system checked out file is still an issue. – ZombieCode Dec 4 '12 at 20:42
