Grant Policy for Web Application Privileges to the SharePoint Administrator

To migrate users, the SharePoint Administrator (or the person who uses the SiteMinder Management UI to migrate users) needs read privileges in the SharePoint Policy for Web Application to which the migrated users belong. For example, if you want to migrate users from a web application called webapp1, the person using the SiteMinder Management UI to migrate those users needs read permissions in the Policy for Web Application of webapp1.

1. Open the SharePoint Central Administration UI.
