How can I add a user as a Site Collection Administrator on my SharePoint Services 2.0 site

From mail2web.com Wiki

Even though a user is defined as an Administrator, they will not have permission to access Site Collection options in your SharePoint™ 2.0 Site. To allow site collection access to a user, you will need to log in with your sharepointadmin user, which was created when your account was first activated. Please refer to the email which was sent to you when your account was first activated to confirm the username and password. Follow these steps to grant a user Site Collection Administration permission:

  1. Log in to your SharePoint Site as the WSSAdmin user
  2. Click on Site Settings at the top of the page
  3. Under Administration click on Go to Site Administration
  4. Under Site Collection Administration click on View site collection user information
  5. You'll then see a list of users.  Those users who have Site Collection Administration permissions will be indicated with a Yes in the Site Collection Administrator column.  Click on the Name of the user you want to add as a Site Collection Administrator
  6. Click on Edit User Information
  7. Check mark the box which indicates Site collection administrator and then click Save and Close

The user is now a Site Collection Administrator and will now have permission to access any administration area of your SharePoint site.

It is recommended that you grant this type of permission with caution, as a Site Collection Administrator will be able to delete any page, sub-site, document, workspace, list or document library that they wish, as well as access and modify the site with FrontPage.
