WSS 3 Migration - Groups: Owners, Members, Visitors

When creating a new Site Collection in WSS 3.0 you will get the following groups by default (assuming the name of Site Collection is Geekette)

  • Geekette Members - contribute permissions
  • Geekette Owners - full control permissions
  • Geekette Visitors - read permissions

When you migrate a site from V2 to V3, these groups will not be created.  The reason I mention this - a lot of the documentation for WSS 3.0 (for example, installation of the Fantastic 40 Templates) refers to these groups.  If you have migrated a site,  just substitue the groups or users with the corresponding permissions from V2.
