Password protected networks may have specific permissions associate with the passwords. These permissions may grant access to control of various elements over the computer, such as the ability to edit pages or grant permissions to others. Permissions are commonly used to grant access to specific users to specific areas of the site. Permissions are often designed to allow incremental increases in access.

Functionality – Action Groups

Example of functions allowed by password and permission systems:

·         Sites may have multiple editors

·         Levels of Action Groups that allow for Administration or other groups to work in a private space that includes tools such as:

o        Pages to display Documents or Lists

o        Page with Discussion Forums

o        Calendars

o        Forms to gather Information

o        Queries to Search and Display that Information in different formats.

Multi-Faced Sites

            Information defined one time – is displayed on several sites with different look. Create traffic in different markets with similar content but different site focus and graphics. For example an Organization that has members in local, state and national groups could maintain multiple sites for each of the entities, yet display the same Member information in each of the appropriate sites.
