I have a web site that I would like to have the webmaster administer offsite. Using Frontpage I can connect from offsite using the Administrator Password.

My problem is that I do not want to give the Administrator rights to the webmaster just for the web site.

I am using IIS as the host and tried to set the user up as an operator but had no luck.

Any ideas?
 
Assuming your running W2k Server, go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management. Under 'System Tools' you will see 'Local Users and Groups'. From there you can add a new user and add him/her to the correct group. As long as that user has correct permissions to acheive what you want him to be able to, there should be no problem.

As for frontpage, I could not advise you. I would say set up Terminal Services so he could log in or give him an FTP account to log into.
