APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Content Management Server 2002

SYMPTOMS
When you use Site Stager to stage a Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) 2002 classic ASP Web site, you may notice that the Sitemap.asp Web page uses both the StageAsUser rights and the guest user rights.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when guest access is enabled in MCMS 2002.

When guest access is enabled, MCMS uses implied rights to grant to a Microsoft Windows authenticated user both access to channels that the Windows authenticated user has, and any rights that are granted to the guest user.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods:
 * Disable guest user access if you do not have to use it.
 * Use a second MCMS server that has guest access disabled and that uses a separate database for site staging.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
