You can have different 'Users.db files if you want,but you will find it complicates things. Instead of different databases, Isuggest using the users.db file for all your admin requirements.The way to use the existing users.db is to enter the name of your groupinto the 'groups' field. Here's an example:For people who need to be authenticated before using the private pages ofyour TRU group, put TRUuser into the 'groups' field and put [protectTRUuser] on those pages.If you have special 'admin' pages that only apply to certain people in theTRUusers group, put TRUadmin in the 'groups' field for each of thesespecial users (which I refer to as sub-administrators), then put [protectTRUadmin] in the pages these people are allowed to use.If there are pages that are allowed to be accesses by more than one groupof users - say the TRUusers and the EMFusers, simply put [protect TRUuser,AMFuser] at the top of those pages.Using the users.db in this way will allow you to use it for ALL yourauthentication and administration protection capabilities. Just remember,as the master administrator, you should include 'admin' and 'TRUuser' and'TRUadmin' (and any other group names you create) in the 'groups' field ofyour own user record so you - as the master admin - will have access to allthe protected pages on your site.Sincerely, Ken GromeWebDNA Solutionshttp://www.hui.net/dna/webdna.html Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
