The Service account needs full control to your Web Application or you will get some Access Denied issues post-Upgrade,

Here is the script to enable it below:

#Setup Superuser account

$env:farmname = “yourfarmname”

$env:farmurl = “yourfarmurl”

$env:serviceacct =”DOMAIN\user”

Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow "Permissions: Adding Farm Account to superuser for $env:farmname."

Set-Alias stsadm ((Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\14.0').Location + "Bin\stsadm.exe")

$wa=Get-SPWebApplication $env:farmurl

$wapol=$wa.Policies

#Write-Host "Adding User to Web App : $wapol.Add($env:serviceacct,$env:serviceacct)"

$wapkmcrawl=$wapol.Add($env:serviceacct,$env:serviceacct)

$wapkmcrawl.PolicyRoleBindings.Add($wa.PolicyRoles["Full Control"])

$wa.update()

stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname portalsuperuseraccount -propertyvalue $env:serviceacct -url $env:farmurl
