Examples
• You setup a script on server .it works for
some users but not others. The directory is
set up for read access?
Set up for read
Set up for execute as well
Set NTFS read rights for users
Set NTFS execute rights for users

examples
• When you try to run ISAPI Extension .you
receive the messages:
HTTP error 403
403.2 Forbidden :Read Access Forbidden
why?
the directory including ISAPI have script
permission but no read rights
