STS: Cannot Check in a File After You Check It out by Using Built-in Source Control (294421)
The information in this article applies to:
- SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft
- Microsoft FrontPage 2002
This article was previously published under Q294421 SYMPTOMS
When you check out a file in FrontPage 2002 by using built-in source control in SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft, the file becomes locked, and you cannot check it back in. If you close the file and reopen it, you receive the following message:
File name.htm
SERVER\IUSR_SERVER has this file checked out.
Do you want to make a read only copy?
CAUSE
When the anonymous user account is given permissions greater than browser only, users who open the Web and check out files do so as anonymous users. However, anonymous users are not permitted to check files back in, because that would defeat the purpose of source control.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, turn off author access for the anonymous user account. To do this, follow these steps on a SharePoint team Web site:
- Browse to the SharePoint home page.
- Click Site Settings.
- Click Go to Site Administration.
- Click Change anonymous access settings.
- In the drop-down list, select Browser and then click Submit.
- Click Manage Users, and then add the users to whom you want to give author access.
