SPPersistedObject is updated

Description

SharePoint 2010+ has security feature to all objects inheriting from SPPersistedObject. This feature explicitly disallows modification of SPPersistedObject objects from content web applications (not CA).

Resolution

• Rescope your features so that web application related activity are performed by a web application scoped feature. Notice that you cannot use a site scoped feature – this would just throw another Access Denied error.
• Disable the security setting (we won’t suggest this, the security setting was created with a purpose in mind), either via power shell or a console app. target property is "Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService.ContentService.RemoteAdministratorAccessDenied"

• The SPPersistedObject, XXXXXXXXXXX, could not be updated because the current user is not a Farm Administrator craziness in Sharepoint 2010
