Take the 2-minute tour ×  I want to turn on the search in my
local development MOSS 2007 install.    • I have an account on
the local computer   • I am in the Farm Administrators group   •
I can log into Central Admin and see many of the settings  But
when I try to Manage This Farms Shared Services I get the
following error  You do not have the correct permissions to
perform this task. You must be a member of the local
administrators group. For more information, contact your system
administrator.  I inherited this farm, and the guy who set it up
a couple of years ago doesn't recall much of what he did. I need
to be able to give him some pretty clear directions on where to
add me so I can get work  share|improve this question add

granted permission on the SSP Administration site collection. If
you are given Viewer rights, you can see all of the
administration pages, however, you will need to have other
permissions granted for some items to be mana
