I dont know how musch of a issue this would be in the beginning but obviously I would like to offer each a secure place for there info.That's what I meant about getting fancy later. No, they will not be excluded from each other, because anyone in the Admin group is considered to be Admin everywhere. So you might want to create a Store1, Store2, Store3 group, and change the templates so they use [protect Store1], etc. You should know this does not prevent store owners from 'hacking', in that they can still write WebDNA that stomps over other stores if they really want to. The only 100% protection you have is when you don't allow any store owner to save template files to disk.I'd also institute a Zero Tolerance policy of hacking -- tell your vendors that if you ever discover one store owner hacking another store (or doing other nasty things to the server), then you kick them out without a refund.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
