Locked myself out of my own SharePoint library
So, I wanted to change the permission levels for all users of a library at my site to 'View'. After I did that I realized that I locked myself out. I accidentally changed my own permissions as well....
Is the administrator always the person who created the top site?
I didn't create it, but I have Full control permission and am listed as Owner.
Being listed in the full control or owners group on a Sharepoint site isn’t full access to everything on the site. The highest level is site collection administrator. You must have someone with that level of permission fix the permission on the library.
