Add Subsite Permissions

Use this dialog to selectively assign or remove privileges for users and groups within the current subsite. Access this dialog through the Subsite General Security dialog when adding new users or groups or changing permissions for existing users and groups, as shown below. Selecting or deselecting options here enables or disables menu options and functions for the selected user or group.

Note: These settings are not content-specific and do not control security for individual pages or Elements contained within pages. Instead, they are general security permissions that apply at the subsite level.
