Add group to site when Alfresco-admin not possible

[ebogaard]

We have a large number of sites in Alfresco, all with different managers (creators).
Because we have changed our policy on the groups to be member of these sites, everyone needs to update his/her site memberships. I'm afraid this just won't happen, so we need an other solution, which is: I do it for everyone.
I'm the Alfresco-admin, so should have all the rights in Alfresco. I can see all the Sites, but I'm not able to change the Site memberships (cannot invite users or add/delete groups). Only for the Sites I've created or am manager of.
I've tried looking in the Share Repository and Explorer, but no possibilities there.

Is this as designed? And more important: is there a solution and/or work-around??

No one any ideas?

Hope there will be an easier  way in the future releases 🙂

Hi,
There is a solution to this problem even if I m late to answer , but I think it may help others struggling with the same issue:

Let's suppose that you've created a site called  test , a group called <strong> site_test_SiteManager</strong> will be created automatically .
Connect as admin and Try to add him to this group ( This group is one of System groups) .
I hope it helps.
Regards,
Sofia.
