FP98: Permissions Not Retained When Web Is Renamed (194595)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q194595 For a Microsoft FrontPage 97 and earlier version of this article, see 161964.
SYMPTOMS
Unique permissions on a subWeb are set to the same permissions as the
root Web when you rename the subweb.
CAUSE
When you rename the subWeb, the old directory is deleted and a new
directory is created.
This problem occurs when you are running the Microsoft Internet Information
Server, Microsoft Peer Web Services for Windows NT 4.0, and the Microsoft
Personal Web Server. This symptom does not appear on other supported Web
servers.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, reassign the permissions after you rename the
subWeb.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
New directories under Windows NT inherit the access permissions of the
parent folder on NTFS partitions. Under Windows 95, when you run the
Microsoft Personal Web Server, new directories are listed as new Web
shares. The Web shares inherit the access level of the parent
directory.
