I need to set the Network Service username on the root level. How do I do
this through Frontpage.?
 
Are you talking about password/permissions?

If so, this is done on the host server, and is available through FrontPage
when you open the remote site in FP, and only if the host allows it. Many
don't, and you'll need to contact them.

If that is not what you are talking about, please give more
information/explanation as to what you are trying to do, along with
information about the host O/S.

You don't, you would do this on the server. FP can only set unique permissions on subwebs /
subsites, and then only of the FP extensions have been configured to allow FP access to permissions.

That is what I thought but my host is godaddy and they told me that I had to
do this through FrontPage and when I asked how, they said to contact
technical support at FrontPage. Thanks.

I manage my rootweb and subweb permissions through FP all the time.
Guess I'm jes lucky. ;)
 
Most web host will not let you have rootweb access to permissions, especially on a Windows IIS
server where you can not add users.. If Unix/Linux you can control permissions via htaccess.

Yep, all my accounts are on *nix*. Nice to know this little tidbit.
FP lets me right in to make changes (permissions, etc.)
So If I move to a winders server I won't have this ability? Bummer!
 
You can set permissions, if you have Admin rights under the OS.
