Take the tour ×  I would want to have read access to the central
administration of our sharepoint environment. Now my
administrator refused this, because he would have to give me too
much rights. I do respect his reasons, but still just want to
read access and nog write anything.  Preferrable a no code and
not a third party solution.  Greetz, Ron  share|improve this
question add comment  1 Answer  Central Administration is only
for Administrators not for normal users. Your administrator
can't give you just read access.  However I find this article on
TechNet that explains adding users to Central Admin site and I
guess it might be possible to give them read permission only as
I never tried it myself.  Designate visitors, members, and
owners for the Central Administration site  May I know why you
want access to central administration as we might find a way
out.  share|improve this answer add comment  Your Answer
