YOU HAVE TO GET PERMISSION--

PART 1 OF 5

Concerned about security? Well, unless you add some protection for your Web page, anyone on your network can access your site and make whatever changes they want. What's more, if you're connected to the Internet, anyone savvy enough could just enter a URL to get to your Web server and then fuss with your site to their heart's content. To protect your site from hacking, you need to grant permission to certain users.

First things first: Identify the particular users you'd like to provide access to:

1. In your System Tray (that's in the lower right-hand corner of your Windows screen), right-click the Web Server icon and select Administer from the menu (if you have trouble identifying the icon, just hold your mouse over each icon in the tray until a pop-up label appears.) This launches your default browser.
2. Click the Local User Administration link.
3. To add a new user, click the New User button.
4. FrontPage asks you to add the user's name and give the user a password. You have to type the password twice for the sake of verification. When you're done, click the Add button to finish the job.

Note: With this tip you ADDED users; you HAVEN'T given them permission yet. Stay tuned. We get to that in the next few days.
