Where does a sharepoint admin find the site settings for a mysite site collection?

We are using sp 2010 service pack 2.
When I look at another user's mysite, logged in as an admin (spsadmin2 is my daily admin type account), I don't seem to have access to the site settings.
However, if I log in as the fundamental farm admin account (spfarm), I do see the site settings drop down.
The site settings I see are not the site settings for a specific user's site collection. It is, instead, the settings for "mysites" in general.
So, how can I look at the site settings for a specific user's site collection?
I wanted to be able to look at their site collection recycle bin to see if something deleted was still there.
Thank you!

So, our mysites are associated with a web application separate from our other sharepoint sites.
The mysites root site collection has our SharePoint admins listed as full control owners.
The SharePoint admins also are listed as Farm admins.
Because there is only 1 secondary site collection owner permitted, if that is the means by which someone gets access to the site collection settings and permissions, then it seems like we would have to keep changing the secondary owner quite frequently.
You mentioned being able to set permissions on "the group" to have rights.
Which group? The Personal Sites Owners group of our mysites web app? Or another group?
Thank you for your help!

    Where in itunes can I find the eject button for my new ipod nano?

    When in iTunes on the top R it should say your name and ipod and then there is a triangle pointing up with one or two lines underneath.  Just click on that and then it's ok to disconnect.

  • Finding the correct settings for your smartphone?

    I recently spent many hours experimenting with settings.  I then found that some websites offer you a service (I had to pay £1).  Online I had to give details of my phone, its provider and wether it was contract or PAYG.  They then send the settings to you in a text to your phone and a separate message with a pin.  You put the pin in on your phone and the settings are transferred from the text to the settings area of your phone.  My problems were solved!
    I used "configuremyphone.com"  No doubt there are other providers too.

    It's jusy as easy and cheaper (free) to use your operator's website to do the same thing...

  • Recycle bin to show all deleted items on the site collection for specific user group

    hi there, is there any way where a certain sharepoint group (i.e. site collection members) to view and restore deleted items on theentire collection, without giving them site collection rights orgive them more rights than necessary? we wanted to create
    aSP group that has the permission to restore deleted items and give them to selected users so that our users won't have to contact us when they want to restore a deleted item

    I don't believe you can. If an item get's deleted it should go to the first recycle bin @ /_layouts/15/RecycleBin.aspx
    The Recycle Bin gives a site collection administrator
    greater control when users delete files, versions of files, list items, libraries, lists, and folders from a SharePoint site by providing a second stage safety net before an item is permanently deleted from a site. When a user deletes an item from the Recycle
    Bin, the item is sent to a second stage Recycle Bin (also known as the Site Collection Recycle Bin) that the site collection administrator manages. This article focuses on how a site collection administrator can manage the Recycle Bin for a site collection.

  • Document ID moving across the site collection

    Thanks for reading, let me explain my scenario before my question
    1. we have huge site collection with full of documents
    2. want to enable document id feature to track of documents
    3. we want to run the process to archive docs which are older than 6 months into different site collection.
    4. after 2 years, we will have 4 archived site collections, documents are spread across the various site collection
    Does document id move across the site collections, still users can get old document using initially assigned document id after archive into different site collection?
    I read some documentation on document iD that it is targeted for Site Collection level.
    S.Venkata Appaji

    Hi Appaji,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to preserve the Document ID when moving the documents across site collections.
    Per my knowledge, the document id will be preserved when the document has been moved from one Site Collection to another Site Collection.
    During move operations, SharePoint Server 2010 keeps the document ID. During copy operations SharePoint Server 2010 assigns a new document ID. You can control this by setting a Boolean operator on the PersistID column.

  • How to find the dependency information for views?

    Hi All,
    There is reuirement where in we have to find the dependency information for all the tables which are used in particular view...along with remote database connections.. For this we have tried to use following query..
    Select * from user_dependencies
    start with name =’SAMPLE_VIEW’
    connect by prior trim(referenced_name)=trim(name);
    The view consists of three tables :
    Create view sample_view as
    select t1.col1,
    T2.col2,
    T3.col3,
    From
    Table1,
    Table2@prd1,
    Table3@prd2
    Where
    T1.col5=t2.col5
    And T1.col5=t3.col5;
    But the ouptut is :
    name     Type     Reference_name     Reference_type     Reference_link_name
    sample_view     View     Table1     Table     null
    So what will be the magic query which will give the all the tables in the view sample_view??
    Desired result:
    name     Type     Reference_name     Reference_type     Reference_link_name
    sample_view     View     Table1     Table     null
    sample_view     View     Table2     Table     prd1
    sample_view     View     Table3     Table     prd2
    Thanks all in Advance!!

    Thanks all for the help!!
    So right now, inorder to find the dependency informations for views there is no direct query :(
    As per the michaels post, i have developed some query ....just joining the table....which will give the source code of the object... :)
    The query is :
    select view_name,db_link,owner, substr(to_char(text),instr(to_char(text),'.',1,2),instr(to_char(db_link),'@')) as _Final_result_,
    substr(to_char(text),instr(to_char(text),'.',1,2),20),text from (
    select a.view_name,b.owner,a.db_link,dbms_metadata.get_ddl ('VIEW', a.view_name) text
    from (
    select view_name, db_link
      from (select view_name, dbms_metadata.get_ddl ('VIEW', view_name) text
              from user_views ),
           user_db_links
    where upper (text) like '%@' || nvl (substr (db_link, 1, instr (db_link, '.') - 1), db_link) || '%' ) A,
    all_views B
    where
    A.view_name=b.view_name
    and b.view_name='VW_TESTING') The sampe view is :
    create or replace view VW_TESTING
    as select A.F_DRUG_SKEY,B.F_DRUG_ID
    from dma_info.MORE_SOME_FTF_DRUG@info A,dms_prf.MORE_SOME_FTF_DRUG_FACTOR@info B
    where a.F_DRUG_ID=b.F_DRUG_ID and
    rownum<=5 The output of these query is :
    Final_result
    MORE_SOME_FTF_DRUG@info A,dms_prf.MORE_SOME_FTF_DRUG_FACTOR@info B where .F_DRUG_ID=b.F_DRUG_ID and rownum<=5 In short through source code, I am trying to find those object name which are preceding the "@' sign...please let me know if this can be workaround for finding the dependencies of objects in view... :(

  • After clicking on a link, why does it take so long to find the site - and sometime not find it at all?

    This seemed to begin right after Firefox update several wks ago. It sometimes takes up to 2 min to find a site after I click on link (whether in an email or on another site). This has been happening at least 90% of the time since then. There have been a few times when it did NOT happen; those seemed to be earlier in the day (mid-morning on W Coast) and possibly for a couple of days after Firefox did another update a few wks after the previous one. Sometimes it does not find the site at all and I get the "Oops! Sorry" msg.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    As the error says.  The Publishing Infrastructure feature must be activated at the Site Collection level where you are creating a new site PRIOR to turning on the Publishing feature.  So if you are trying to use this site definition to create a
    new Site Collection then its not going to work.  If you are trying to create a sub site then make sure that Publishing Infrastructure is enabled in the site collection before trying to create a sub site with this site definition.
    Internally Microsoft does this for the Publishing Portals using custom code.  Here's an article that discusses how to do it in SharePoint 2010.  
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg615465(v=office.14).aspx
    Compare what's in the article to one of the Publishing templates available out of the box in 2013 and you should be able to find the assembly that is used to load the Publishing features.

  • Where to find the best application for cleaning out my MacBook Air with OS X 10.7.5? I've been using MacKeeper but believe it's slowing down my laptop considerable.

    where to find the best application for cleaning out my MacBook Air with OS X 10.7.5? I've been using MacKeeper but believe it's slowing down my laptop considerable. Thank you.

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
    Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction.  Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
    6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • How can I see how often and where an image is used in the site?

    Just realized the post appeared twice as at first sending I
    got an error page (contains no data...).
    So, please do all answer to the other post, so that all
    replies get collected at one post only.
    Hello,
    please excuse my maybe dumb question but converting from
    GoLive I am still trying to find several practical effective
    workflow features in DW ...
    1. where in the sitewindow/assets or files panel can I see an
    indication at each image if and how often it is used in a site?
    2. and where can I see/check on which pages it is used?
    Thanks in advance for guiding me there ...
    bye,
    Beate

    > How do DW users know how often and where an image is

    > then?
    I'm not sure what the benefit is of knowing how often an
    image is used, but
    a search for the image by filename would do the trick.
    And just so you'll know, this is a peer forum, not an
    official communication
    vehicle to Adobe. We are all just users here, not Adobe
    employees.

  • Where can I find the syntax guide for Oracle 11g?

    Sooooo frustrating...I've perused the Oracle site, have done Google searches, and cannot seem to find the syntax guide for Oracle 11g. Can someone provide me the URL or clue me in as to where it might be buried? Am I just being stupid???

  • How do I find the FTP info for my site?

    I created a site with Wix.com. Since then I've been exploring Dreamweaver, and the author of "Dreamweaver for Dummies" suggets that the best way to make changes to my existing site is to use Dreamweaver's FTP capabailities to download the existing pages. But Wix doesn't support FTP -- so they tell me, and simpleurl.com (where I regeistered my domain name) and which is somehow involved in the posting of my site) can't help either. Here's the Dreamweaver page that I need to fill in.
    How do I get this information?

    Yup, it's basically free, altho you can upgrade a little, as I've done. 
    And I took
    a careful look at the "source" for the pages I've created. That code will 
    show
    nothing of what I've written -- text-wise. It's all stored on the Wix 
    servers
    and accessed with various scripts. You can re-locate your Wix-created site
    after 60 days -- not before. So the suggestion I got from the "...Dummies"
    book doesn't apply here.
