<p>When working with a large Web site, it's often easier to break up the site into
smaller subwebs. A subweb is a complete Microsoft FrontPage-extended Web that is
located in a subdirectory of the <a href="fpaGloss.htm#rootweb" class="glossterm">root
Web site</a> or of another subweb. Each subweb
can have many levels of subdirectories. A Web that has subwebs is called a parent Web. </p>
<p>A root Web site is a Web site that is the top-level
content directory of a Web server or, in a <a href="fpaGloss.htm#multihosting">multi-hosting</a>
environment, of a <a href="fpaGloss.htm#virtualserver" class="glossterm">virtual Web server</a>. The content of the root Web site can be
contained in many levels of subdirectories. However, there is only one root Web
site per Web server or virtual Web server. </p>
<p>For example, if a company has an intranet, each major department can have a subweb. That way, each group can manage its
own site
and the main <a href="fpaGloss.htm#homepage" class="glossterm">home page</a>
in the parent Web site can provide links between the
departmental sites. </p>
<p>There are several benefits to setting up your Web site with subwebs:</p>
<ul>
<li>Each subweb can be maintained by a different owner.
<li>Each subweb can maintain separate security settings.
<li>Performance can improve, because the time required to <a href="fpaGloss.htm#recalculateweb" class="glossterm">recalculate
hyperlinks</a> is directly proportional to the number and size of the documents
stored in a single Web.</li>
</ul>
<p>Even though subwebs appear below other Web sites in the Web server's file
system and <a href="fpaGloss.htm#URL" class="glossterm">URL</a> space, the content of a subweb is not included in its parent Web
site. An author of a Web site does not automatically have
permission to edit any of its subwebs, and users cannot browse from a parent Web
site to a subweb. FrontPage Server Extensions maintains this separation of content automatically.</p>

<p>Using the <b> Site Administration</b> pages you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Create or delete subwebs.</li>
<li>Merge subwebs.</li>
<li>Change the name or description of a subweb.</li>
<li>Recalculate the links for a web
or subweb.</li>
<li>Specify unique permissions for the subweb or use the user accounts and <a
href="fpaGloss.htm#role" class="glossterm">roles</a> of the parent Web.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Administrative options not available when working in a subweb</h2>
<p>Some site administration options are not available from within a subweb,
including:</p>
<ul>
<li><a
href="fpaGloss.htm#usageanalysis" class="glossterm">Usage analysis</a>.</li>
<li>Some <a
href="fpaGloss.htm#serverhealth" class="glossterm">server health</a> settings.</li>
</ul>
<p>Also, if a subweb is set up to use the parent Web site's account and roles,
options for managing accounts and roles do not appear. </p>
<p>To configure any of the above options, you must use the <a href="fpaGloss.htm#HTMLAdministrationPages" class="glossterm">site
administration pages</a> from the
root-level Web site of the server or <a href="fpaGloss.htm#virtualserver"
class="glossterm">virtual server</a>. See your
network administrator or ISP for more information. </p>

<ol>
<li> On the
<b>Site Administration</b> page of the <a href="fpaGloss.htm#subweb"
class="glossterm">subweb</a> that you wish to
configure, under <b>Users and Roles</b>, click <b>Change subweb permissions</b>.</li>
<li>In
the <b>Permissions </b>area, specify whether or not you want the subweb to use
the same accounts and <a href="fpaGloss.htm#role" class="glossterm">roles</a>
information
as the parent Web site.</li>
<li>Click <b>Submit</b>.</li>
</ol>
<P><b>Note</b> When you enable unique permissions, a copy of the
parent Web's user accounts and roles remain with the subweb. You can then delete
any accounts and roles that you don't want and add new ones as needed. </P>
