Protected Directories & User Permissions

[DennyP]

I am able to protect a directory and create a user/password that can access it. However, I don't see a way to specify if a user has just browse permissions or is an administrator in that directory. When a user is created, what permissions are granted to that user?

Anyone have an answer to my above posting? Thanks.

Hi,

Plesk use mod_auth Apache module to confiure protected dir access.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_auth.html

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_auth.html

User that is used to access folder content is default(apache)

Thank you for the information above, although I'm not sure it answered my questions.

I'll rephrase the questions.

1. When using the Plesk 8.1.1 panels to create a protected directory and a user, what permissions are given to that user?

2. When using the Plesk 8.1.1 panels to create users for a protected directory, how do you specify permissions.

Thanks.

I'm still trying to find out the answers to the above questions.
I realize that mod_auth can be used, but I'm trying to figure out what Plesk is doing and what its capabilities are (or aren't).
