Do one of the following tasks, depending on your situation: • If the user account that is configured as the default content access account is a different user account from the user account that the SharePoint Portal Administration service is configured to log on as, follow these steps: a. Create a new Windows security group, and then add the following user accounts to the security group: • The user account that is configured as the default content access account. • The user account that the SharePoint Portal Administration account is configured to log on as. b. Configure the new Windows security group as the SharePoint administrators group: 1. Start Windows SharePoint Services Central Administration. 2. Under Security Configuration, click Set SharePoint administration group account. 3. Type the name of the Windows security group in the Group account name box, and then click OK. Note Use the DomainName\GroupName format when you type the name of the Windows security group. • If the user account that is configured as the default content access account is the same account as the user account that the SharePoint Portal Administration service is configured to log on as, configure the user account as the SharePoint administrators group: 1. Start Windows SharePoint Services Central Administration. 2. Under Security Configuration, click Set SharePoint administration group. 3.
