Re: Security Levels... Possible?

It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 25862
interpreted = N
texte = Yes, it is possible. Briefly, you'd create your own authentication script (using [authenticate]). You'd have a database of usernames and passwords, along with other information, like a userlevel). You'd then have the user log in using authenticate, and you could then do a quick lookup on each page to determine their userlevel. You could then set a minimum userlevel required on each item in your database, and only show the item if the user's security level is equal to or less than the minimum required level (assuming 1 is the best userlevel and positive infinitity is the worst).Hope that gives you some ideas. -HowardOn Mon, 3 Jan 2000, Tony Frenzel wrote:> Question: > > What sort of security features does Web Catalog offer? > > Can it do different security levels? > > For example, a client of mine wants to know if it's possible to have one > level of access where he can see 100% of the items, and another level of > access where he can only see 75% of the items.
