>> A couple of random thoughts...
>> There are two levels of security for SharePoint.  They are Central
>> Administration and Site Administration rights.  Central take precedence
>> over site rights.  If a person is a member of the Central Administration
>> group which manages the settings for the Web Server and virtual servers,
>> they effectively have Administrative rights to the entire portal.
>> In Site Administration, IIRC, there is a toggle somewhere to designate a
>> person to have the same rights as the parent area or site.
>> Let me know if you have found the solution.

>> Jim H.

>> I've done some Googling but I can't seem to find the answer to this odd
>> problem.  I set up a Sharepoint site as a test bed (Sharepoint Services
>> not Server) and gave a few users access.  No matter what rights I give
>> the users they have full admin rights to the sight.  I set up custom
>> security groups and the site is completely ignoring them.  To further
>> add to the mystery I removed on user (she is not a member of any
>> security group therefore should not have access to the site) and she can
>> still get in with full admin rights.  Is it possible that Sharepoint is
>> deferring to Windows rights?  These are all IT staff here and have more
>> liberal rights to our network than the average user.
>>
>> Does anyone have a clue?  A push in the right direction would be
>> appreciated.
