Assign a user to a different role
User accounts let you control who can access the Web site. You can create
accounts that allow access to the Web site only, or you can use existing
network server or domain accounts. 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.
Web design rights
- Author Pages Create, edit, or delete HTML pages
and directories.
- Browse Browse pages in this Web site, including those with Web bots.
- Register Components Upload new components (runtime
code) and have them run by the server.
- Set Source Control Set the source control
options.
- Theme Web Apply a theme to a Web site.
- Border Web Apply a border to a Web site.
- Link Style Sheets Apply a style sheet to
an entire Web site.
Web administration rights
- Configure Access Create, delete, and modify roles, including adding
users to the roles and specifying which rights are assigned to a role.
- Set Permissions Specify permissions for individual
files.
- Create Accounts Create local machine accounts.
- Manage Server Health Run the server health
features for a virtual server.
- Manage Usage Analysis Modify the usage analysis
settings for a virtual server.
- Manage Subweb Create, rename, or remove subwebs.
- Recalc Web Recalculate a Web site.
If you're creating a public Web site, you can allow permissions for anonymous
users who don't have accounts and you can specify the user role that
anonymous users will have.
If you have created subwebs
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.
Your server administrator can specify a limit to the number of accounts that you can create for a virtual server. Once you reach this limit, you must either delete unnecessary accounts or have the server administrator raise the limit. This limit includes only accounts created through SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft. The limit does not include accounts from a network group or domain.
- On the Site administration page, under Users and roles, click
Manage users .
- Click the user account to which you would like to assign a new role.
- Select the check boxes next
to the user roles that you want to enable for the user account.
- Click Submit.
Notes
- If you're using the default user roles, you need only select one role for the
user account. Each role has all of the access
rights of those lower on the list plus
additional rights. For example, an author has contributor rights in addition to
the right to create, edit, and delete HTML pages.
- If you don't see the Manage users option,
you are probably in a subweb
that uses the user account and roles settings of a
higher-level Web site of
the server or virtual
server. To work with accounts and roles, either navigate to the top-level Web site,
or set up unique permissions for this subweb. See your network administrator or ISP for more
information.
