1. Open your top level site (top level site: The uppermost folder in a hierarchy of Web site folders. A top level site can be hosted on a Web server, a virtual server network, or a local computer hard disk.).
2. On the File menu, click New.
3. In the New task pane, (task pane: A window within an Office application that provides commonly used commands. Its location and small size allow you to use these commands while still working on your files.) under New page, click More page templates.
4. On the General tab, click User Registration, and then click OK.
5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and right-click the form, and then click Form Properties.
6. Click Options, and then click the Registration tab.
7. In the Web site name box, type the name of the protected Web sub site.
8. Click the File Results tab.

   By default, the file in which the user names of site visitors are saved is shown in the File name box. This file is located in the _private folder of the top-level Web site, a hidden directory in your Web site. This directory is set up so no one can browse to it, making it more secure. You can change this location and file name as needed, however doing this isn't as secure as using the _private directory.

9. In the File format list, select the format in which you would like to receive the file results.
10. Click OK, and then click OK again.
11. Customize the fields on the form as needed.

    For example, change the phrase [Name of your sub Web] to the name of your protected Web sub site, customize the instructions on the form, and change the text labels on the fields.

Note  You must save the registration form to the top-level Web site, not the sub site itself. For example, if the protected Web sub site is http://TopLevelSite/SubSite, the form must be saved in top-level Web site.

1. Open the Web site.
2. On the Tools menu, point to Server, and then click Permissions.

   How?

   1. If you are using a Web server that supports a domain hierarchy, in the Obtain list from box, select the domain or group from which you want to select users.
   2. In the Names box, select or type a user name, and then click Add.
   3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each user you want to add for a particular type of access.
   4. Specify the type of access to give to the list of users you are adding (browse, author, or administer access), and then click OK.
   5. The same permission is given to all users listed in the Add Names box. To set different permissions, for example to give one user browse access and a different user author access, repeat steps 1 through 4 for each user.
