FP98: Permissions Change After Reinstalling ExtensionsID: Q194454
|
When you uninstall and then reinstall the FrontPage Server Extensions
from a Windows NT server running Microsoft Internet Information Server
(IIS), a Windows NT 4.0 Workstation running Peer Web Services, or the
Microsoft Personal Web Server on Windows 95, author and administrator
accounts are reset to browse access.
When you remove the FrontPage Server Extensions, the files and folders
under the \_vti_bin directory are replaced. The permission settings
that exist for the current root establish who can browse the Web. This
information is created during the installation of the server
extensions and is stored in the Shtml.dll file. However, the
permission settings that pertain to the author and administrator
accounts, which are stored in the Author.dll and Admin.dll files, are
reset to allow browsing the Web.
To modify the permission levels of users or groups, follow these
steps:
Author And Browse This Web
Administer, Author, And Browse This Web
