Use unique permissions; Administrator access denied for... - 2/9/2006 11:54:57   
So I have created a FrontPage extended web site. I add a subweb (SW1) and assigned a user (UserA) as the administrator of the subweb. UserA adds multiple subwebs (SW2...SWn) to SW1 and wants to assign unique users as authors to each subweb SW2..SWn. When UserA administers SW2 and selects to "Change subweb permissions" and then "Use unique permissions for this Web site" and then submits the form, he is prompted for a username and password. UserA's password fails and gets a "You are not authorized to view this page" error. UserA can still go back and administer SW1 but when he clicks on the SW2 subweb he is prompted for a password and cannot get in.

Now... here comes the weird stuff...

If UserA waits 30 minutes and then re-attempts to administer SW2 he gets in fine with no additional password prompting! The 30 minutes seems to not be tied to the subweb because UserA can create a subweb at the start of a 30 minute interval and then create a second subweb near the end of the 30 minute interval and both subwebs are inaccessible until that 30 minute interval is complete. I have had this problem for about 7 months now. (I am in the education industry so UserA only creates the subwebs at the start of a term and therefore this only becomes a problem at that time.) The workaround has been to create all the subwebs first and set the subweb to use unique permissions while creating it. Then wait 30 minutes and then go back in and modify the user permissions. This works but is an inconvenience.

If I, as the administrator of the root web and also the administrator of the server, go in and create a subweb under SW1, I can change the subweb to use unique permissions and I am able to administer that new subweb immediately.

The server is running Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0. I believe the problem is related to NTFS permissions on the FrontPage extension files but I can't figure out how. I also don't get the 30 minute interval thing.

Has anyone run into something like this? Anyone got any ideas on what I might try?
