Also, when setting up permissions, make sure you setup groups, and set your permissions based on groups, instead of granting them to a specific user. That way you can easily add or remove people from the group. | |

| Jun 22, 2016 at 21:25 | comment | added | Kinnectus | Argh, it seems the sharing wizard overwrites some of the original permissions. There are resources that allow you to re-add the required permissions and get it back up. Google "share wwwroot 401" and there's some resources that can help restore the permissions - sorry! The next method to add users is from the "Security" tab in the folder properties. | |
| Jun 22, 2016 at 21:21 | comment | added | Adjit | Wasn't having a go, this was on a live site. But whatever it was, when I added the user to permissions I got a 401 Error, so I removed the users permissions then it changed to a 500 error. Turns out that removed permissions to access the website... | |

| Jun 22, 2016 at 21:11 | comment | added | Adjit | Well I appreciate this, but that just screwed up my webserver. | |
