SUMMARY
When you create or edit a Web with Microsoft FrontPage 2000, you can set permissions and limit access to the Web that you create. This article explains how to reset the user permissions of a Web page back to default settings.
NOTE: Default permissions settings allow all browsers to view all Web pages.
You can specify who can access Webs in FrontPage by adding the users (and user groups) to the Web's user list and specifying the type of access the user has. Users can have one of the following types of permission:
- Browse: the user can browse the files in the Web.
- Author: the user can browse and change the files in the Web.
- Administer: the user can browse and change the files in the Web, and can also administer the Web by adding and removing users. On computers running Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), FrontPage grants administrator access by default to all members of the Microsoft Windows NT Administrators group and the SYSTEM account.
