Author Unauthorized users are able to access secured site

Website is hosted on NT4 with latest service pack. This secured site does not
have anonymous access enabled. User access is provided by administrator using
Frontpage Tools=>Server=>Permission. Now Site administrator is reporting that
this secured site is accessible by users who are already removed from Manage
users page. What could be wrong?

You may want to check and make sure that they are not a member of a group
that is listed. I've seen cases where someone creates a group to put a
site's admins into, gives the group access, then gives the individual user's
access.

You may also want to run a check and fix of the extensions and a recalculate
hyperlinks to help catch stray permissions. Before this is done though,
backup the web to another directory on the server just in case. That way you
have a backup with full NTFS permissions available in case FP over-tightens
or kills the web's permissions.

Hope this helps,
