FIX: Can't Set Permissions Back to Root Web Permissions
Article ID: 165834

APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Visual InterDev 1.0 Standard Edition
This article was previously published under Q165834
SYMPTOMS
If you use the Web Permission item on the Project menu to display the Web
Permission dialog box to grant unique permissions for your Web (as opposed
to using the same permissions as the root Web), you won't be able to use
the dialog box to change the unique permissions back to match the root Web.
If you select the option "Use Same Permissions as Root Web" in the Web
Permission dialog box and click OK, nothing will happen.
RESOLUTION
To grant the same permissions as the root Web to your project, use the Copy
Web command on the Project menu to copy the content of your Web to a new
project on the same server. This copies your content but sets your
permissions to be the same as the root Web.
Alternatively, if you have Microsoft FrontPage Version 2.0 installed, you
can open the web project in Microsoft FrontPage and use the
Tools/Permissions menu item to launch the permissions dialog box. Select
the option "Use Same Permissions as Root Web" and click Apply. Then click
OK to dismiss the dialog.
