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. In the shortcuts area of the Home page, click Groups (Web Server section). The Protect Directories (HTAccess Configuration) window opens, showing a list of the directories residing on your server. The directories are identified as either unprotected or protected.

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