Security Module
Security Group Controls
Security controls are found by clicking the ‘Control Panel’ menu item and then clicking ‘Security’.
|
NOTE: Security is assigned to the “Group” and not to the individual “User”. Once a User is assigned to a Secure Group they are given the security privileges of that group. An individual User can belong to more than one Secure Group and thus have privileges of all the Secure Groups they belong to. |
|
|
List Security Groups: Shows you the list of security groups you have created. We have installed some default groups to get you started. You must first create a Secure Group before you can add Users (members). Click on the Add Group link to create additional groups. |

Add Security Group Options

Privileges are divided into two categories: High and Low. This division of privileges helps the administrator understand the scope of the privilege when assigning items. High-level items apply to the whole website. Low-level items apply only to the specific area (webpage, function, etc.) shown.
Assigning low-level items enables the administrator to assign restricted privileges to very specific areas of the website. For example, one group could be assigned the privilege of editing only one page of the website and nothing more. |
|
Add/Edit: (6a) This option allows the administrator to assign whatever privileges they want to whatever group they want.
Security User Controls
View Users: Shows you a list of Users in each Secure Group. You can also add a new group here by clicking on the “Add User” link. If you created a form that assigned people to a specific group, they will show up in this list once you have processed them and in some cases clicked “Make Me A User” (point 5.6.5).
Security User Options
|
Edit: Allows the administrator to change any information of any user, including the Secure Groups they belong to. You can also view peoples’ passwords and change them from here.
NOTE: Since this Option shows you personal information about specific users, carefully consider who will have access to this screen when assigning the privileges of Secure Groups (point 6.2.1)
