I am looking for a software package that will provide me the ability to
provide a secured area on a subweb. I would like to be able to have a
department manage and maintain thier own permissions to a private area that
only that department would have access to. I do not want to deploy a hard
coded password within a web page. I would like to have a web based app. that
a user and administrator can set up access rights. Does anyone have any
recommendations?

Thanks in advance,
Evan Rosenbaum
 
Start with FrontPage
See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;825451
Your host will have to support subwebs and unique permissions under the FP Server Extensions

Try this. It assumes you have the FrontPage 2002 Server
Extensions installed.

1. Put all the secured content in its own subweb.
2. Open that subweb.
3. Choose Server from the Tools menu, and then
Permissions.
4. The resulting Permissions Administration page will
probably say:
Using same permissions as parent web
Change permissions
Click the Change Permissions link.
5. When the Change Subweb Permissions page appears,
select Use Unique Permissions For This Web Site
and then click Submit.
6. Click Cancel to display the Web Site Administration
page.
7. If you want to restrict browsing as well as editing:
a. Under Users and Roles, click Change Anonymous
Access Settings.
b. When the Change Anonymous Access Settings page
appears, select Anonymous Access Is: Off,
and then click Submit.
8. Back on the Web Site Administration page, under Users
And Roles, click Manage Users.
9. When the Manage Users page appears, click the Add A
User link to give new or existing users access to
the subweb. Assign roles as follows:
o Administrator - View, add, and change all server
content; manage server settings
and accounts.
o Advanced author - View, add, and change pages,
documents, themes, and borders;
recalculate hyperlinks.
o Author - View, add, and change pages and
documents.
o Contributor - View pages and documents, view and
contribute to discussions.
o Browser - View pages and documents.

Any accounts you create will be local accounts on the We
server. If you want to use domain accounts, create them
as you would any other domain account, and then specify
an existing account name of domain\username.
