Permissions issue with Sites migrated from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010
I have a SharePoint 2007 collection That I am an Administrator on but not a site collection administrator on. There are some sites that I do not have the ability to edit. It appears that inheritance has been broken on several subsites. This SharePoint 2007 collection has now been migrated to SharePoint 2010. I am the Farm Administrator on this SharePoint 2010 collection. However, the sites that were previously inaccessible to me in SharePoint 2007 remain inaccessible to me. I thought, that as a Farm Administrator, I should have access to all sites. Is there a way for me to gain access to these subsites? The access I need is the ability to edit the pages of the subsites.
Note: Migration was done by Database Detach/Attach migration.
I am in the Farm Administrator group. The description of this group is:
'Members of this group have full access to all settings in the farm. They can also take ownership of any content site.'
When I view the group permissions for this group it shows as full control.
However, I don't have full control and I don't see any way to take ownership of sites that I don't have permissions to.
What I did find out is that I am not a site Collection administrator on the SP 2010. I am a Farm Administrator. This is most likely a solution. However, I thought that the Farm Administrator was above site collection administrator for permissions. This does not appear to be the case.
