Use unique permissions; Administrator access denied for 30 minutes
|

| 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?

Another note to add...
If UserA creates all the subwebs up front, waits 30 minutes and THEN changes
them to use unique permissions, there are no authentication issues.
