SUMMARY
This article describes how to set permissions using FrontPage on a
FrontPage Extended Web that resides on an IIS Web Server. The article also
advises how to set your initial permissions optimally.
MORE INFORMATION
On an IIS Web server on an NTFS partition, the Everyone group has Full
Control access by default. Therefore, when you install the FrontPage
Server Extensions, FrontPage detects that the Everyone group has Full
Control access to the content folder and adds the
Everyone group, with its permissions, to the FrontPage Extended Web. At
the same time, FrontPage reduces the permissions of the Everyone group to
Browse access. However, even though the Everyone group has been reduced to
Browse access, it is not recommended to set initial
permissions this way. Use the following steps to set your initial
permissions:
- Using FrontPage, open your Web that resides on the IIS Web
server.
- On the Tools menu, click Security, and then click
Permissions.
- On the Groups tab, remove the Everyone Group if it is
listed.
- Click Apply, and then click OK.
- On the Tools menu, click Security, and then click
Permissions.
- Click the Users tab and on the
bottom of the tab, select the radio button for Everyone has browse
access.
- Click Apply, and then click OK.
- After making this change, you should find that your Web is still
browsable, but accounts that have not explicitly been granted permission,
cannot open the Web.
After removing the Everyone group, you can add accounts to the Web for
Authoring or Administering the FrontPage Web. There are three permission
settings that you can choose from for your groups and individual accounts:
Browse, Author, and Administer. Accounts that have Browse permission
cannot open the Web in FrontPage, but can browse the content. Accounts
that have Author permission can open the Web and edit the contents of the
Web in FrontPage. Accounts that have Administer permission can open the
Web, edit the contents of the site, create new subwebs or nested Webs, and
modify permissions on the Web in FrontPage. To add new accounts with
Browse, Author, or Administer permissions, do the following:
- Using FrontPage, open your Web that resides on the IIS Web
server.
- On the Tools menu, click Security, and then click
Permissions.
- Click the Users tab.
- Click the Add button.
- In the Obtain List From: box, select the server or domain
from which you want to add accounts.
- Under Names:, select the accounts you want to add with
permission to this Web and click Add>>.
- Under Allow users to: select the level of permissions for
the accounts you added.
- Click OK.
- If you need to edit permissions for any account, select the
account and click the Edit button.
- Click Apply, and then click OK.
- You can follow the same procedures listed above for adding new
groups with permission to the Web.
- Remember, when you add new accounts and groups to your Web, make
sure not to add the IUSR_computername account, the Everyone group, or any
group that contains the IUSR_computername account.
