A FrontPage Tutorial
By Troy Dreier
Lesson 5: Managing a Site
Security
FrontPage contains some fine
security tools that are perfect for an intranet Webmaster. You can specify
exactly who may view the site. You can also give browsing access to some
users and authoring access to others.
Start by selecting
Tools/Security/Permissions. Click the radio button that says "Use unique
permissions for this web." Click OK.
Adding and Removing Users
Once you've created Unique
Permissions, as explained above, you'll need to specify what users or
groups can see your site. Choose Tools/Security/Permissions and select the
Users tab. Click Add and a new window will appear. The pull down menu at
the top lets you choose what domain to work with. The users of the domain
appear in the window below it. Click the name of a user, then press Add.
Repeat this for every member you want to have permission. The radio
buttons at the bottom of the window specify what level of access each user
should have.
You can save time be adding
entire groups at once. Begin by opening Tools/Security/Permissions and
clicking the Groups tab. This calls up a window with all the domains and
groups listed. Select the groups you want, then press Add. Again, radio
buttons at the bottom of the window let you assign levels of access.
To remove a
user, go to Tools/Security/Permissions and click the
Users tab. Highlight the name of the user, then press
Remove, which is located lower and to the right.
Checking Files Out and In
If you've ever had someone
overwrite a page you were working on, you know the importance of a good
check-out system.
Enable the check-out system in
FrontPage by choosing Tools/Web Settings. At the bottom of the General
tab, click the box that says "Use document check-in and check-out," then
press OK.
Once that's done, check out
files by right-clicking on them in the Folder List, then chose Check Out
from the popup menu. A red check will appear next to files you have
checked out, while a lock means someone else has the file. A green dot
means the file is available.
Return a file by right-clicking
the name in the Folder List and choosing Check In from the popup menu.
