Hi, I am trying to add a particular user as an owner of a site collection
and I get this error......
"The user domain\user does not have an email address".
When I look up for this user in the user profiles, the user has an email
address and it looks fine.

I am working with a SPS 2003 installation. And I do not have this problem
with other users. Any help is appreciated.

thanks,
Kavitha

User Profiles have no connection to the authorization and security
mechanisms in SharePoint services (or in Portal for that matter). Your
user that you are trying to add needs to have an email address in the
Site Collection's user table.

I'm assuming the user that you are trying to set as the owner is
currently a member of the site. If this is correct, go to your site
and navigate to the following:
Site Settings --> View Information about Site Users

Note if the user has an email address here. If he/she does not, you
can insert their email address. Then try adding this user as a site
collection Admin.

Good Luck.

Thanks Asif for the response. The user has the email address when i go to
"View information about site users". The only place i have a problem is
adding as a site owner.

thanks,
Kavitha

Thank you Asif. Your solution worked. I had to update the user's information
for every site.......I went into UserInfo table and updated the user's
emailid for all the rows that contained her login and then it worked.

thanks again,
Kavitha
