Chapter 8 Overview

 

In Chapter 8 you will set the permissions for each web site.  Setting the permission will give an individual exclusive editing right to web site while keeping it secure from users.  Chapter 8 will also address the creation of sub web site.  A sub web is a web site that is a child of another web site.  FrontPage allows sub webs to be created and have different editors assigned to these web sites.  This will be very convenient for your staff web site.
