You can remotely administer a Web site based on SharePoint™ Team Services from Microsoft from your browser by using the Administrator role. The Administrator role is a collection of rights that allow a user to modify all Web site content as well as manage site settings and accounts. With this role, a SharePoint team Web site user can then browse to the team Web site and perform administrative tasks remotely.

To add a user account with Administrator role permissions, open a SharePoint team Web site with FrontPage 2002 and edit it directly on the server as follows:

1. On the Tools menu, point to Server, and then click Administration Home.
2. On the Site Administration page, under Users and roles, click Manage users.
3. Click Add a user.
4. In the User area, select Add a new user with the following information, and then type the user name and password for the new user account.
5. In the User Role area, select the Administrator role for the new account.
6. Click Add User.
7. To remotely administer your SharePoint team Web site, open a browser and go to the Web site.
8. Click on Site Settings on the home page.

Tip   To add a user account, your account must already have the Administrator role. You may need to check with your Internet service provider (ISP) or web server administrator to set up your initial permissions.
