FIX: Can't Set Permissions Back to Root Web Permissions

 Last reviewed: December 18, 1997
Article ID: Q165834
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

If you use the Web Permission item on the Project menu to display the Web Permission dialog box to grant unique permissions for your Web (as opposed to using the same permissions as the root Web), you won't be able to use the dialog box to change the unique permissions back to match the root Web. If you select the option "Use Same Permissions as Root Web" in the Web Permission dialog box and click OK, nothing will happen.

RESOLUTION

To grant the same permissions as the root Web to your project, use the Copy Web command on the Project menu to copy the content of your Web to a new project on the same server. This copies your content but sets your permissions to be the same as the root Web.

Alternatively, if you have Microsoft FrontPage Version 2.0 installed, you can open the web project in Microsoft FrontPage and use the Tools/Permissions menu item to launch the permissions dialog box. Select the option "Use Same Permissions as Root Web" and click Apply. Then click OK to dismiss the dialog.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug has been corrected in Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 1.

For additional information about the Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 1, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
