Reducing Permissions on Subwebs Does Not Take Effect

This article was previously published under Q250949

SYMPTOMS

When you reduce permissions for a user in a FrontPage subweb (for example, if you demote a FrontPage Administrator to be a FrontPage Author only), the reduction does not take effect and the user still has the original (higher) level of access to the FrontPage Web.

Note: It is possible to incrementally increase an account's permissions from Browse to Author to Administer, but it is not possible to reduce the accounts permissions.

CAUSE

A comment in the source code indicates that the author intended to treat the root of each Web differently than other folders; however, what it actually does is treat the root Web differently than it treated the subwebs.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1/1a (SR-1/SR-1a).

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.
