Today I restore a site collection from different server to my VM and when I try to update the site Collection Administrators info on the site I received “you need to be a site collection administrator to set this property”. And also I don’t see the Site Settings and others which you normally see under site Action menu.

After a quick google, I found that Site Collection was locked and I need to unlock it. To unlock site collection, Go to central Admin –> Application Management. Click on “Site collection quotas and locks” under “SharePoint site Management”, then select “Not Locked” option.

Hope this post helped someone.
