Usergroup management
This entry allows you to create a new usergroup. Usergroups are
simply collections of userids and passwords. Usergroups can be applied to
URLs using the userid/password
option of the database configuration. Choosing this option creates an
empty usergroup of the name selected.
Removes a usergroup that you have created. Will error if you try to
remove a usergroup that is still in use (ie. is used in some database
for at least one of the servers). If this occurs, remove the
authentication entry that uses this group from the appropriate
database first, and then redo the operation.
This option allows you to add extra users to a usergroup you have
created. Simply select the group you want to add the user to, then
fill in the user's details comprising of their username and password.
Once the details are correct, select the Add button to commit the
changes to the usergroup.
Selecting the group you want to edit will display a list of the
entries comprising that group. For each entry, you can choose to
delete the entry from the usergroup, removing that user's ability to
view pages restricted by this usergroup. Or you can choose to edit
the user's details, ie. their username and/or password. The passwords
are stored in an encrypted form in the database files and the original
plaintext cannot be restored. Therefore the password will not show up
in the edit box. You can choose either to not enter anything in the
password field which will cause the user to retain their previous
password, or you can explicity set their password to a new value
(eg. in the case where the user has forgotten their password).
