(Updated 11/29 Qualiter ad obvius occasus per telam application consilium UI)

I had one of those "why is MOSS doing this to me????" moments today. In finem, BENE mea culpa.

We have an enterprise MOSS project going on and we want to secure "place holder" sites so that no user may access it or see it. That’s easy:

1. Vade ad site.
2. Confrínget securitatem hereditátem.
3. Aufero sulum user / coetus a site permissiones.

Supremus administrator collection site licentia relinquere iustum ad ad situm videre.

Si quis alius ligna in, ut non sit satis videre, et eatenus ab omni loco solitis locis.

Sed … non fuit. Simul, I suddenly realize that my "Joe User" standard user test account with no priv’s other than restricted read access has a "Site Actions" choice everywhere he goes. I double check one thing and double check something else. I pick up the phone to call a colleague, but put it down and check something else. I go for a walk and try everything all over again. I call a colleague and leave a message. And then, tandem, Invenio apud Ethan scriptor blog, his opening graph makes it quite simple:

MUSCUS 2007 Web Application vocatur novus pluma habet Politiae. Hi sunt permissiones quod securitatem Web Application purum alligatur. Hi omni securitate occasus, ut securitatem occasus dominari in situ positus est congeries sive Site (Meaning) quod pro gradu user.

A quick visit to web application policies shows that "NT Authority\authenticated users" had been granted Full Read. I removed them from the list and everything finally started working as expected. I believe they were added in the first place by someone with the mistaken impression that that is best method to grant read access to everyone in the enterprise. It does, sed, eliquare a quote, "It does not mean what you think it means."

Access web application policies this way:

1. Perge ad Centralis Administration
2. Lego Application Management
3. Select "Policy for Web Application"
4. Quod in screen, make sure you pick the correct web application. Enim me, Fusce a ipsum id elit consectetuer arcu ille qui non vult.

Cum hanc quaestionem, Lorem Ipsum verbis, vel in posterum minime mirum quantum in hac iuvatur:

Visibilium omnium actiones users Site

Actiones users ad omnes aspectabili Site

site securitatem actiones non sunt ornaverunt

impetrarunt MUSCUS site

introductio securitatem musco
