PS2003 - Giving Team Members permission to administer WSS Workspac

[NoviceUser]

I want to be able to allow specified (ie. not all) Team Members to administer
lists and document libraries in the workspaces that they are allowed to
access.

I know that I can do this at the workspace level security but if the
workspace gets synchronised at any time, these changes will be blown away.

I don't understand how the PS groups synchronise with the WSS Site groups in
the workspace so do not know what (if any) permissions I can change that will
allow me to do this and not be affected by the synch process.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the PS groups it is the global permission "Manage Windows SharePoint
Services" that adds users to the Web Administrators group on the workspaces.

However, this has the side effect of giving them rights to manage workspaces
under Server Settings>Operational Policies

What you can do is under your specific workspaces:

1) go to Site Actions>Site Settings
2) go to People and Groups
3) New>Group
4) Give it group name "Team Members with Admin" and set the appropriate
group settings, give administrator permissions here
5) Go to New>Add Users and add your users to the new group you created

This will not be affected by the site or PS security synchronization.

Excellent

Thanks heaps Jonathan.

When I'm back on-site with my client I'll test this out.

Cheers
