What is difference between Administrator and WSS_Admin_WPG, on the SharePoint Server Machine
- Is Administrator rights on Server Machine enough to do all activities on SharePoint server , Power Shell and IIS Application pool
- To perform any IIS and Power shell related activity is it necessary that user must belong to IIS_IUSRS and SharePoint_Shell_Access Group
Thanks in Advance
1) No, you can be a Local Administrator without having any rights within SharePoint (at the application layer).
2) For PowerShell, most cmdlets will require the user to be part of the Shell Admins and Farm Admins, as well as Local Administrators (across all SharePoint servers). Make sure you’re adding them via Local Administrators, then Farm Administrators via Central Administration, and lastly via the Add-SPShellAdmin cmdlet.
