re-adding a sub-web to the quicklaunch of the parent

on WSS 3.0:
when a sub-web was created we did NOT choose the option to display a link in
the quick-launch of the parent site.
Now, we do want the link to appear in the quick launch of the parent - if we
add the url manually, the link appears for all users even if they don't have
access.

How can I re-add the sub-web so that SharePoint still does it's security
Trimming?
I see a property "isInternal" on an SPLink object, but it is read-only - and
I don't see how to programmatically create a link to the sub-web and specify
that it is internal.

Thanks

Ask questions on how to do things "programmatically" to the SP
Programming newsgroup (for all products) at

microsoft.public.development_and_programming (saying, as here, that you
are running WSS 3.0)

It's where the programming experts are (and many existing programming
threads)

Hello JJ,

I am not sure how to grant the user for the permission.

I tested on my side. I add a domain user into the Parent Web site as Site
member and remove him from the Sub Web Site which makes him could not
access the sub site.

When I add the link which direct to Sub site into the Quick Lanch Bar in
the parent site, this user could not access the sub site as it should when
he click the link.

Sincerely,

Wei Lu

Mike:
If there is a way to do this via the Web Interface please let me know. I
just didn't see one and figured I'd need to do it with code. I'll post to
the programming newsgroup also.

Wei:
SharePoint does restrict access to the sub-web as I would expect it to - the
issue is it doesn't hide the link to the sub-web based on users permissions
(to that sub-web) if you manually add it to the QuickLaunch menu. Try
creating a sub-web and select the option of adding it on the QuickLaunch
menu, and then also manually create a link to the site on the QuickLaunch
menu. If you then edit the quicklaunch menu and look at each of those links,
you'll notice that the one created automatically doesn't let you edit the URL
- the link is 'different' somehow from the one you create manually.

Thanks.

I'm fairly sure there is a way to do this in the web interface (or at
least with SPD 2007).

My VM with WSS 3.0 is now elsewhere so I can't look at this until
tommorow so anyone is welcome to jump in.

(I fast read to "programmatically" ...)

Hello JJ,

I did not find any difference. All are direct to the same URL.

And all could get the correct access deny method.

You may try to check the permission in the UI for the account in sub site.
