On my DEV environment I have a document library that has more than 20,000 items. When a user who has contributor access tries to open the list he gets the error "The view cannot be displayed because it exceeds the list view threshold (5000 items)
enforced by the administrator." The views on the libraries are by default paged to 30 items.
Now we know it can be fixed by increasing the list view threshold on Central Admin to a large number e.g. 30,000. But this would be a problem when we implement on TEST and PRODUCTION environment that has around 1+ million records since increasing the list view threshold to a large number like that might cause performance issues.
For my farm admin account I don't get this issue at all. We read in this article http://blogs.technet.com/b/speschka/archive/2009/10/27/working-with-large-lists-in-sharepoint-2010-list-throttling.aspx that if you add the user to Local Admininstrators group on the WFE that would fix the issue. Lo and behold it did fix our issue. I tried adding one of the contributor user to the Local Administrators group and I don't see the threshold error anymore.
My questions is there any other option to fix this apart from adding the user to the Local Admin group? We tried other options like adding index and filtered views but doesnt seem fix the issue.
