FP98: How to Set Up a Restricted-Access Web
This article was previously published under Q300241

This article describes how to set up a restricted-access Web in Microsoft FrontPage.
To set up a restricted-access Web in FrontPage, you must create a subweb. A subweb is a Web nested inside another Web. By default, all subwebs inherit the same permission settings as their parent Webs. However, you are able to establish unique permissions for subwebs. Each subweb can have its own set of permissions that specify who can browse, author, or administer it, and you can set up individual subwebs with different levels of permissions and different groups of users.
To set up a restricted-access Web, you must create a subweb, and then configure unique permissions for that subweb to restrict access to specific users. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start FrontPage Explorer, and then create a subweb.
You can create a subweb by converting a folder to a subweb, by importing a Web into a folder and then converting the folder into a subweb, or by using the FrontPage Server Administrator (Fpsrvadm.exe) command line.

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.
