FrontPage web protection

B

brent

I want to restrict access to a web, but the "server" item under the Tool menu drop-down is greyed out

Is this a configuration problem? and if so, what

Is there another way to get this menu item "active"

And your host must allow you to create subwebs and then set unique permissions.

If yes, then you would move your content that you want to protect into a folder, then right click on
the folder and then select Convert to Web, then after you have publish to the remote server, open
the subweb in FP, then you will be able to set permissions.

You have to open the website live...http:// for the Server item to be active.

Will one need to open that subweb at the SERVER? Or, will it be possible to
do this with the subweb open locally?

Must do it at the server, as permissions are not published.
