I am having some trouble with our Domain Admins group overiding the permissions set up in sharepoint. They all have full access even if only set as reader. Anyone help?
An administrator of the server that has SharePoint installed will automatically be granted access to all the sharepoint sites without having to even be added as a user in SharePoint, this is done by default and it does not just apply to SharePoint.
An Admin (Domain Admin) will have full rights to everything on a server (for example if you have a file server, the Admin will always have full rights to everything, unless that is configured/restricted manually on explicit folders).
In organizations I have been working and and been an Administrator we have had to sign non-disclosure agreement, stating that admins are not allowed to use information they have access to that might harm the corporation in any way, etc. etc.
