Remarks

Use the PortalSiteCollection class to manage the portal sites in the topology of the server farm. A PortalSiteCollection object corresponds to the list of portal sites in the PortalSites table of the configuration database for a server farm.

To use the properties and methods of the objects in the Topology namespace you must be a member of the local STS_WPG and SPS_WPG security groups, and a member of the db_owner database role for the configuration database.

In addition, for certain methods, such as those that create a portal site, you must be a member of the local Administrators group, and have membership in the Database Creators and Security Administrators server roles in the SQL Server instance that hosts the configuration database.
