Global setting for Sharepoint site access

[Doug]

Is there a way to set the setting "Allow all authenticated users to
access site?" on a global basis, rather than site by site within
SharePoint? I would like to set it up so that all authenticated users
by default have reader access to all sharepoint sites within our
ProjectServer environment, with project team members having the
elevated rights that go along with the project. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I've not tried it, so thinking out aloud.

Maybe creating a new WSS template with the permissions already assigned.

Doug:

If you were to add everyone to the Executive group, it would accomplish what
you want. If the permissions associated with this particular group are too,
broad, then you could create a new group based on the Executive group with
fewer permissions.

Thaks, Gary. I'll have to play around with your suggestion, but I
think it will work. But I have a follow-up question... If I add
users to the Executive Group (or some new similar group), the users
will be able to access all new project sites going forward, but won't
be able to access existing sites (because they didn't have the
permissions at the time the sites were created). Is there a way to
make permissions retroactive?

Doug:

In both versions you can make permissions retroactive, however I can't be
specific because you haven't mentioned which version you are using.

We're using ProjectServer 2003 SP2. Let me know if you need further
information. I'm glad to hear that permissions can be made
retroactive. Thanks again!!
