Re: Access Rights Issues

Deepa,

If you tried setting your security for users by using the "Anonymous Access"
settings, those settings do not transfer between sites and that would explain
why your users don't have rights to sub site.

In order to achieve your objective, giving Reader rights to all Domain
Users, you need to:

a. Ensure that sub sites is using Inherrited Permissions. Sites that
don't, will not be accessible except for the specified users on that site
level.

b. Add "DOMAINNAME\Domain Users" with Reader rights to the top level site.

By doing this you will also ensure that only authenticated domain users have
access to your sites as apposed to anyone.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
C
