ellipsces is too gracious...
I have no idea how DW will interact with Windows 2003 Server. There are basically two way to set permissions on an IIS server:
1) IIS Permissions. These are managed via FrontPage, and are best used in an all-FP environment. I have not run a Win2K3 server yet, so my knowledge is somewhat limited, but the replacement for the FPSEs is called Sharepoint Services. IIS manages the permissions when using this method.
2) NTFS Permissions. These actually have a new name in the Win2K3 environment, but I can't remember (heard it at an MS seminar the other week, and promptly forgot). In this casem you are setting permissions directly on the files and directories themselves. System Admins typically hate these.
Are you in an Active Directory environment? If so, I would create an AD group for each of the subwebs, and add the appropriate users. Then, grant the groups MODIFY NTFS permissions. If you're not AD, you can either create local groups or domaoin groups and do the same thing. Then, share the folders and limit sharing to the same groups. Users can now directly copy changed files to the server (they should never be developing on a production server). You'll have to check and see if the FP Publish feature will work on a directory share--I've never used FP 2003 in such a setup. If not, I would take the extra step of finding my FP users and setting IIS permissions so they can publish.
For exact details on managing IIS 6, grab an IIS 6 admin manual. There are a LOT of changes from IIS 5, and you could probably teach us all something.
