SYMPTOMS
When you try to open a FrontPage web as an author, you are repeatedly prompted for a name and password. You do not receive any error messages, and the correct user name and password are not accepted.

Administrators can open the web successfully. Adding the authors to the Administrators group allows the authors access.



CAUSE
Authors do not have author and browse permissions in FrontPage 2000.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, open the web in FrontPage as an administrator, and change the permissions to the web.

To change the permissions, follow these steps:
 * 1) With the web open in FrontPage, point to Security on the Tools menu, and then click Permissions.
 * 2) If this is a subweb, click Use Unique Permissions on the Settings tab, and then click Apply. If this is the root web, skip this step.
 * 3) On the Users tab, add any Windows user accounts for the appropriate authors with author and browse permissions.
 * 4) On the Groups tab, add any Windows group accounts for the appropriate groups of authors with author and browse permissions.
 * 5) Click OK twice.
