Creating groups for protected directories
Note: This topic is for systems without Microsoft® FrontPage® Extensions. If you have FrontPage Extensions enabled, you need to use the FrontPage interface to manage protected directories.
The Web server manages access to password-protected directories on your site based on groups. Before you can protect a directory, you need to create at least one group, then add at least one user to that group.
To create a group:
Click the Shortcuts tab on the Home page.
In the shortcuts area, click Manage Groups (Web Server section). A list of existing groups currently in the group file is displayed.
Click Add Group.
In the Enter Group name field, enter a name for the group you are creating.
You are now ready to add users to this group.
