I have a windows 2003 server runnning FrontPage extensions
and the faculty are reporting that they cannot delete
their files. They are assigned the "Advanced Author" role
which gives them the ability to "Author Pages - User can
create, edit, or "delete" HTML pages and directories."

However, when I open the properties -security tab for the
folder, the permissions box is showing that Advanced
Authors are only allowed to "list folder contents" then
when I click the Advanced button on the bottom left corner
and view the permissions tab the advanced authors is
showing that the permission columns allows them to modify.

Furthrmore, if I click the View/Edit button it shows that
the permissions to Delete subfolders and Files is not
selected in the allow column.

Any ideas on how to fix this problem so faculty can delete
their sites with the Advanced Author role?

Thanks.

You are going to have to give then FP Admin rights.

Thanks for the quick reply but I tried that already. I
gave him the roles:

Administrator - View, add, and change all server content;
manage server settings and accounts.

Full Administrator - Full controls to create delete and
manage web and backend

and he still cannot delete the files.

Does he also have a User Account on this server as well, that also gives him
 the ability to Add,
modify and delete files and folders?
