Inother words, if you have a company named ABC Company. then start bycreating a group name ABC.Next, go into that company's admin templates and replace all theprotect tags in those templates with[protect abc]Then go into the users.db and find your personal users.db record --it should have ADMIN as one of the words in the groups field --- andadd the new group name ABC to YOUR group field.Now, go into the users.db record of everyone in the ABC Company whois supposed to have access to the admin pages of that firm, andreplace everything that's in the groups field in those records withthe group name ABC. Do NOT leave ADMIN in ANY of the groupsfields in these records!Okay, now, do you see what that has done?First of all, it has gotten rid of ADMIN in the group fields ofeveryone in the ABC Company, which means NO ONE in the ABC companycan gain access to the pages you have protected with the [protectadmin] page.Second, it has given only the ABC Company's people (and you,personally) access to the ABC Company's templates and databases. Youstill have personal access to the [protect ABC] pages because you putthe ABC group name into the groups field in your own users.db record,remember?One of the main things to rememeber is to NEVER give anyone outside*your own company* ADMIN access. In fact, if I were you, I would makesure that you, personally, and the ONLY one with ADMIN access.Sincerely, Ken GromeWebDNA Solutions808-737-6499http://www.smithmicro.com/webdnasolutions/.
