SYMPTOMS
When you upgrade an Apache server from the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions to the FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions, users with Browse privileges are not migrated to the new Browser role.



CAUSE
During an upgrade to the FrontPage Server Extensions 2002, the installation routine reads the Service.grp file and migrates your settings to the .roles file. The FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions list only administrators and authors in the Service.grp file. Because users with browse privileges are not listed in the Service.grp file, these users are not migrated during the upgrade.



WORKAROUND
After you upgrade the FrontPage Server Extensions, add the browsers to the .roles file. This file is is located in the _vti_pvt folder. The .roles file looks similar to this: [Roles] advauthor=0CEEEE02| |View, add, and change pages, documents, themes, and borders; recalculate hyperlinks. admin=FFFFFF03| |View, add, and change all server content; manage server settings and accounts. author=0C80EC02| |View, add, and change pages and documents. browser=08008800| |View pages and documents.

[Anonymous] AnonymousRole=browser

[Users] testauthor=advauthor|0CEEEE02 testadmin=admin|FFFFFF03 testbrowser=browser|08008800 To add a user with the browser role, add an entry to the [Users] section of the .roles file for each user listed in the Service.pwd file.



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