While trying to execute this Power-shell command:

$site = Get-SPSite "http://mysite/"

Maybe this user doesn't have enough permissions to get spsite. Add him as SPShellAdmin in content database please.

$db = Get-SPContentDatabase -site http://sharepoint Add-SPShellAdmin -UserName SPSP_User -database $db

  • Get-SPContentDatabase gives the same error. I have manually found the databaseid and assigned it and added the Add-SPShellAdmin to the database. It still gives the same error after adding the user as shelladmin. I do have all requisite permissions on the contentdb. Commented Oct 21, 2016 at 21:12

I had this same issue and a coworker suggested adding the user to the SPDataAccess role in SQL for the content database. This was all it took to resolve.

  • Life saver. For me Get-SPSite was working but Get-SPWeb was not. The account already had spshelladmin and even removing and re-adding spshelladmin didn't help. Adding this role to the user did the trick, thanks. Commented Jan 31, 2018 at 18:10

You have the same error message if the Security Token Service does not function properly. See this blog post for the detailed description.

Run command $site = Get-SPSite -Identity "http://mysite/"

Make sure that you run the SharePoint power-shell command on the same machine(Farm) containing the site, otherwise it will not work.
