About user accounts and roles
User accounts let you control who can access the Web site. In most cases, you'll want to
assign a username and password to each person who works with your Web site.
User roles are assigned to accounts, and determine the types of access that
users are allowed when using the Web site. For example, if you
have a group of users who will view site content and make changes,
you can assign them to the Author role. This role is created by default. As a site
administrator, you can modify
the access rights for the default roles or create new roles.
You can assign a user to more than one role. However, if you're using the default user roles, you need only select one role for the
user account. Each default role has all of the rights of those lower on the list plus
additional rights. For example, an author
has browser rights in
addition to the right to author pages.
The following roles are available for
Microsoft FrontPage-extended Webs by default. Each role gives the user
rights to perform specific actions on a
Web site or
virtual server.
- Browser View the pages in
the Web site.
- Contributor View the pages in
the Web site.
- Author Add pages to the Web site. This role contains all
Browser
rights as well.
- Advanced Author Edit a Web site in Microsoft FrontPage. This role contains all Author rights plus the following
rights: Border Web, Theme Web, Link Style
Sheets, and Recalc Web.
- Administrator Manage a Web site or virtual server. This role contains all rights.
The following rights are
available. Each right gives the user permission to perform
a specific action on a Web site or virtual server.

If
you're creating a public Web site, you can allow permissions
for anonymous users who don't have accounts.

on your Web site, you can allow the
subwebs to have unique accounts and user roles or you can specify that they use
those of their parent Web site.
