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:

1. Click the Shortcuts tab on the Home page
   .

2. In the shortcuts area, click Manage Groups (Web Server section). A list of existing groups currently in the group file is displayed.

3. Click Add Group.

4. In the Enter Group name field, enter a name for the group you are creating.

5. Click Add Group.

You are now ready to add users to this group.
