Is there a way to allow multiple users to admin subwebs in IIS 5.0 with Windows 2000 server?
Why yes, there is. Thanks go out to Ross Yearsley for these instructions.
1. Create a new user
Computer management -> new user
Suppose my new user is TWU and set password
2. Go to IIS > Default Web Site
Right click and choose New -> Server Extensions Web
Choose Subweb Wizard
Name new subweb as TestWeb
Select a different administrator
This creates TestWeb admins, TestWeb authors and TestWeb Browsers
After you refresh, there is now a folder under the default website called TestWeb
3. Target folder TestWeb, right click and choose All Tasks > Check Server Extensions
Choose to tighten Front Page extensions
4. Select permissions on new TestWeb folder
My Computer > wwwroot > TestWeb folder
aspnet_wp account = full control
TWU = full control
TestWeb administrators = full control
5. Computer management > Users
Check that TWU > properties that TWU is a member of TestWeb Admins.
Using the above instructions I was able to log on as user TWU and post a VS.Net web form into this new subweb.
