Note: Non-FrontPage users should follow Access Control instructions for UNIX

A nested subweb allows you to limit control to documents placed within the subweb, which is nothing more than a new folder/directory created inside your public_html.

To do this, you'll create a new folder, name it, and convert it to a subweb. Then, you will change the folder's permissions -- this is where you list the users who will have access to the files. As the "administrator," you will also assign a password to the users.

Create, Name, and Convert a Folder

1. Select View > Page
2. Select File > New > Folder.
3. Name the New Folder
4. Click the folder.
5. In the Folder List (View > Folders), right-click the folder you created and select "Convert to Web."
6. Open the subweb. Note: It is very important that you open the subweb before going to the next section. Failure to do so will lock up your entire web site.

Change Security Permissions and Create Users/Passwords List

In order to change the permissions on a subweb, you must have the FrontPage Server Extensions installed in your frank directory.

1. Select the subweb on which you want to change permissions.
2. Select Tools > Security > Permissions.
3. On the "Settings" tab, select "Use unique permissions for this web"
4. On the "Users" tab, select "Only registered users have browse access."
5. Select "Add..."
6. Enter the User's name, up to 128 characters
7. Assign the user a password, using letters and/or numbers. Punctuation is allowed; spaces are not. The passwords are case-sensitive.
8. Select "Browse this Web" to allow the user read-only access.
9. Select "OK"
10. Selecting the "Computers" tab allows you to assign access rights to an IP mask.
