Update SharePoint Group with group owner using Power Shell script.


I am updating SharePoint site collection group owner with user in first case, in second case updating group owner with group.

Case 1:

 Group owner updating with user.

#Get the SPWeb
$web = Get-SPWeb “http://SP2010:8080/sites/TestSite”

#Get the Group
$group = $web.SiteGroups["Project Managers"]

#Get the User
$user = $web.EnsureUser("globaldomain\e939383;")

#Assign that user as the owner
$group.Owner = $user

#Update the Group
$group.Update()


Case 2:

 Group owner updating with GroupName.

#Get the SPWeb
$web = Get-SPWeb “http://SP2010:8080/sites/TestSite”

#Get the Group
$group = $web.SiteGroups["Project Managers"]

#Get the group name
$group =$web.SiteGroups["Project Managers"]

#Assign that user as the owner
$group.Owner = $ group

#Update the Group
$group.Update()



in this second case "Project Managers" has the full control on that group. But in first case "globaldomain\e939383;" only has the full control on that group.

Difference Between Site Template and Site Definition

Difference Between Site Template and Site Definition Before going into direct comparison, let me define both: Site Templates  : Are  snapshots of  sites at a point in time. When a user customizes a site from the UI or SPD, the custom template consists of the difference between the original state of the site (determined by its definition) and the state of the site or list when the custom template is generated. Custom templates remain tied to a particular site definition (for example, the site definition for SharePoint Web sites or Meeting Workspace Web sites), so that if the site definition is not present or is changed, the custom template cannot work. Site Definitions  : As the name implies, A Site definition is "core definition of a site”. Each site definition emerges through a combination of files that are placed in the 12 hive of WFE during installation of SharePoint. Site definition files include .xml, .aspx, .ascx, and .master page files, as well as docum...
