In order to allow the ISP’s to administer Internet Information Services, or IIS, efficiently it is a requirement that IIS administration be divided into three levels of control:
- Resellers
- Web Administrators
- General Users
Resellers.
The second level in the hierarchy are the Resellers, the hosting administrators appoint various Resellers, whose responsibility is to directly administer the web sites and web administers who own the web sites on the host computer. Each reseller may have one or many web administers to administer. The Logon for resellers is reseller@domain.com
Web Administrators.
The web administrators own individual sites and their control are confined to their personal sites. They can practice administrative rights confined to their own sites. The Logon for webadmin level users is webadmin@domain.com.
General Users.
The general users under each web administrator do not have access to the Web control panel they can only use their accounts to FTP the files to the ftp root of the their web administrator, or upload and edit files using FrontPage. A general user account must be established to use with any FrontPage Extensions prior to the installation of said Extensions.
