Re: Correct permissions on the server?

You can use local accounts to give access to a WSS server on a domain, we do
it all the time. They might not be able to access something specific on
your page. You need to determine whether they don't have access to the
site, or if they don't have access to something on that specific page. To
troubleshoot that, we put ?contents=1 at the end of the URL. That takes
them to the web parts maintenance page, which doesn't actually render any
webparts. If they can get to that page, that means their permissions are
fine to the site, but there is something specific on that page that they
don't have permission to. That gives you something to work on.

Good luck,

You are adding a local user but authenticating againt the domain. If you
want our local user to have right add them as server\username. if it a
domain
user then you should not have to add them to the WSS server via (computer
management)

When I add a new user (under computer management) to the WSS SP2/Win2k3

no errors during this and the user gets the email, they are prompted to
login after clicking on the link. Regardless of what they type in it
fails.

I'm using the same login/password that the user uses to login on their
machine to create the account on the WSS server. In fact, I can go
through
the network to the server's shared directory's without being asked for a
login/password from this users PC.

All security settings for the server and WSS are at the default install
level, nothing has been changed.

When the user group is Users, they get prompted to login, which fails
everytime.

I change the user's group to Administrator, and they are allowed in with
full access and no prompts.

So, what group permission do I need to use on the server for each user so
I
can use the SharePoint user roles correctly
(reader/contributor/web/admin)?

Thanks!
