Valid Account Cannot Open Sub Web When Root Web is Restricted

This article was previously published under Q201845

SYMPTOMS

After setting Only Registered Users Have Browse Access on the root Web, authors cannot open sub Webs with valid accounts when they do not have at least Browse access to the root Web.

CAUSE

When you set Only Registered Users Have Browse Access on the root Web, authors that do not have Browse permission on the root Web cannot open sub Webs. The reason for this is that authors of sub Webs need access to FrontPage configuration files in the root Web.

WORKAROUND

In order for authors to open sub Webs that reside below a root Web that is set with Only Registered Users Have Browse Access, add the author of the sub Web with Browse permission to the root Web. To do this, use the following steps:
  1. Open the root Web of the virtual server in FrontPage.
  2. On the Tools menu, click Security, then click Permissions.
  3. On the Users tab, click Add.
  4. Add the account that has Author access on the sub Web with a minimum of Browse access.
  5. Click OK.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
