Users Tab (Permissions Dialog Box)

      

Use this tab to specify authorized users that have unique permissions on the master Web server for your Web application. If a user's computer has more restrictive permissions, these permissions are overridden and the more restrictive permissions are applied. For example, if the computer has browser-only privileges, but the user has browse and author privileges, the computer's permissions take precedence and the user can browse but not author on the Web application while using that computer.

Options

Name

Access rights

Displays the current set of privileges allowed the user. A user can have privileges to browse, author, or administer a Web application.
