Preventiing Access to Main Sharepoint Site

[C21Steve]

Hi,

I have a Windows Server 2003 network with 3 domain members. I have set up a main Sharepoint Site and added 2 domain members as users with full access to the site. I then created a sub-site and gave all 3 users access to the subsite.

My problem is that when i log into the site as the 3rd user, I can access both the sub-site (correct) and the main site (incorrect) even though that user is not defined on the main site.

I have not set up any special security groups in Sharepoint or Windows Server (this 3rd user is not a Windows Admin, just a user). Any suggestions on how I can prevent the 3rd user from accessing the main site? I thought that would be a given since they are not listed as a valid user there, but we all know how that goes

can u go to the main site and check up who have access on it?
and can u specify how u gave the access to the members of the subsite?

I found the issue on this... the user in question was in the Power Users group. The Power Users group was in the Sharepoint Admin group. I redefined my Power Users group to exclude Sharepoint Admin and the problem was solved. Thanks to all who tried to help!
