Unique Permissions Are Not Inherited from the Parent Web
This article was previously published under Q216431
When you use the FrontPage client to change a Web's permissions on the
Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) from
Use same
permissions as parent Web to
Use unique permissions
for this Web, some users and groups are dropped.
Setting a Web to use unique permissions changes the permissions for the
Web so that its permissions can be managed separately from the root Web.
This allows you to have different content areas which are managed by
different accounts. You might assume that setting the Web to use unique
permissions would cause the Web to initially inherit the parent Web's
accounts, and that they could be modified after changing the setting to
unique. The actual behavior is that FrontPage will drop Administrator and
Author accounts that are not the person who is logged on making the change
to unique permissions. Any account with Browse access and the account that
is making the change to unique are kept. The Administrators group is also
kept if that is the group the person making the change belongs to.
To resolve this problem, open the sub Web in FrontPage, and add back any
accounts that were dropped.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the 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.
