# Specify rights available for roles
| About user rights
Users are given access to pages and features in a Web site by being assigned to a role that contains specific user rights. Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 includes 12 user rights that can be assigned to roles. Administrators of a Web site can assign users to existing roles or create new roles with specific sets of user rights.
| User rights
The following rights are available in Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions 2002. Each right gives the user permission to perform a specific action on a Web site or virtual server. ## Web design rights Author Pages Create, edit, or delete HTML pages and directories. Browse Browse pages in this Web site, including those with Web bots. Set Source Control Set the source control options. Theme Web Apply a theme to a Web site. Border Web Apply a border to a Web site. Link Style Sheets Apply a style sheet to an entire Web site. ## Web administration rights Configure Access Create, delete, and modify roles, including adding users to the roles and specifying which rights are assigned to a role. Create Accounts Create local machine accounts. Manage Server Health Run the server health features for a virtual server. Manage Usage Analysis Modify the usage analysis settings for a virtual server. Manage Subweb Create, rename, or remove subwebs. Recalc Web Recalculate a Web site.
| Specifying which rights are available for a server
Administrators can determine which user rights are available for use on a server. As an administrator, if you don't want to allow users of a Web site to perform certain actions, you can disable the associated rights on the server. When you disable a right on your server, that right cannot be used for any role or assigned to any user of the server. For example, if you don't want users to be able to recalculate a Web site, you can disable Recalc Web. Some rights are dependent on other rights. For example, the Author Pages right requires the Browse right. When you select a right that depends on other rights, the required rights are also selected. When you clear a right that is required for another right, that right is also cleared. You use the Set List of Available Rights page to specify which rights are available for roles on a server. On the Server Administration page, click Set list of available rights. To enable or disable a right, select or clear the check box next to the right you want to enable or disable. To enable or disable all rights, select or clear the Select All check box. Click Submit.
