Removing protected directory groups

• 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.

Remove groups that have access to password-protected directories on your site only when you want to delete the groups from the system permanently. Users assigned to the group are not removed, but they can no longer use the access privileges of the group.

To remove a group:

1. Click the Shortcuts tab on the Home page.

2. In the shortcuts, click Configuration (Web Server section).

3. In the shortcuts area, click Manage Groups (Web Server section). A list of the directories on your site, identified as either unprotected or protected, is displayed.  

4. From the directory list, locate the directory from which you want to remove protection, then in the Actions column, click .
