FrontPage 2002/2003 Subweb Creation & Security

×

Please Note:

FrontPage 2003 is no longer supported for Fpweb.net managed hosting clients. However, we continue to offer online help & support resources for Microsoft® FrontPage in our expansive Support Achive.

  1. Open the website live with FrontPage 2002/2003.
  2. In your root web, highlight the domain name (or IP address), right-click and select new, folder. Give it a name that you want the subweb to be.
  3. Right-click on your new folder and select "Convert to Web". Once it is a subweb, you will see a globe on the folder.
  4. Double click on the new subweb to enter it.
  5. From the menu, select Tools, Permissions (you should be prompted for your username and password, enter them here)
  6. Click on "Change Permissions"
  7. Select "Use Unique Permissions"
  8. ***Important*** Wait 25 minutes for these security setting to update in the server database.
  9. Go back into Tools, Permissions and select Manage Users
  10. Select "Add a User" Give it a user name and password, and select the role of "Browser". Submit.
  11. Now go back into Tools, Permissions, and select "Change Anonymous Access" and choose "Off" and submit the change.
  12. This will lock the subweb down to either the new user created, or to your admin account. (Verify by opening the subweb in a browser)
  13. Publish whatever content needed to the subweb.

Note– Anytime a security change has been made to the subweb, the change takes 2 minutes to be effective. By default this is 15 minutes, and this was determined to be intolerable, so the system was altered to a more tolerable 2 minute time frame.

Before doing the above press your F1 function key inside FrontPage 2002/2003 and search on subweb for additional information.
