Secure your Phone Book Administrator folder (NTFS only)

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

To secure your Phone Book Administrator folder (NTFS only)

Open Windows Explorer.
Double-click the Program Files folder, right-click the PBA folder, and then click Properties.
At the bottom of the Security tab, click Advanced. Clear the Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects check box.
In the Security dialog box, click Remove.
Click Add, type the name of the user or group to which you are granting posting permissions, and then click OK.
In the Permissions list, select the appropriate check boxes, and then click OK for the server to register the changes.

Important

If your primary PBA computer is used by several people, users who do not have access to the PBA folder still have a link to Phone Book Administrator on the Start menu. If these users click that link, a message box gives them a choice between deleting the link, fixing it, or canceling out of the message box. They must click Cancel. Do not allow them to delete or fix it. Deleting this link could delete it for everyone.

Notes

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure.
To open Windows Explorer, click Start, point to All programs, point to Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer.
Before anyone attempts to post to the server, verify that you have set the Write permission for the FTP virtual directory. For information about the Write permission, see Related Topics.
You must have an account on the server to which you are posting.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
