Sharepoint 2010 permissions not working
My manager decided today he wants to be a farm admin on the Sharepoit 2010 because he wants to look at everyones permissions. So I made him a farm admin. He has all of the permissions I have. But he still is denied when he tries to check the membership and permissions of the site. I don't know what to do. Please help.

I'm not getting the option for Site Collection Administrators
As I wrote above:
>> In each site collection go to the site settings
Where are you looking? You need to go to the root site collection and open the site settings. If you don't see that option, you're on a site, not a site collection.

If you are in a site, you should see this (but only if you are a site collection admin yourself):

Thank you very much.
As a farm admin he does not necessarily have the permissions required to see group members. Some groups may be set up so that just the group members can view group members.
To override that you need to make him a site collection admin.
In each site collection go to the site settings and add his name to the Site collection administrators.
After that, he will be able to see members of all groups.
