Has the feature to add users to a FrontPage subweb been added/fixed? I'd like to create a new user that can connect to and administer a subweb via FP so I don't have to give out my admin username/password for the root site. Is this possible? I've added another user with the discountasp.net control panel but FP does not see this user. And the FP admin pages do not have an option to add users. I'm currently using FP 2002/XP. Help! If this will not work, are there other free or cheap options where I can have a second site under the same account? I don't want to pay another monthly fee when I don't need an addition 150MB of space and 2GB of bandwidth, etc. Thanks, - Ed Ed Ketterer
Look at discosion in Hosting Services / Control Panel discusion on Subdomains. See if it what you looking for.

Ed says he's using FP 2002. I'm using FP 2003 and wondering if there will still be a problem restricting access to a subweb in FP 2003? If there is, would it work to put the pages that I want restricted in a serparate folder within my website and use the ASP.net control panel to restict access to this folder by adding a user with permissions? It looks like going the subdomain route could be pretty tricky for me because this'll be my first web-site. I just want a few parts of it to be resricted to be viewed and used by only one other person. Would the easiest thing be to just create two separate web-sites and simply resrict one?
If you just want to restrict browsing to a sub directory, you can use the permission manager. See http://kb.discountasp.net/article.aspx?id=10100 If you want another user to login through FrontPage, we'll need to set it up for you manually. quote:Originally posted by rowdy Ed says he's using FP 2002.
