SYMPTOMS
After you add a domain user or group to your portal by using the Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server (SPS) Microsoft Management Console (MMC), when that user or group member tries to access the portal, they are prompted for their credentials 3 times and then they receive an &quot;access denied&quot; message. This problem only occurs in workspaces where the Everyone group is removed.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the permissions that are assigned to the user or the group that you added do not take effect until you stop and then restart Internet Information Services (IIS).



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, restart IIS:
 * 1) Click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
 * 2) Type iisreset, and then press ENTER.
 * 3) When IIS has restarted successfully, quit the command prompt.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
