Using the Windows Password Protection (Foundation)

What is Password Protection

Password Protection is a tool for setting up directory protection so that visitors will be required to enter a username and password to view the contents of a directory. Using Password Protection, you can add and remove the protection on directories and manage the usernames that can access the protected directories.

Manage Users with Access to View the Protected Directory

The next step is to add users who will be allowed access to this directory. Remember that these users will also have access to any subdirectory of the selected directory unless it has its own permissions and users.
