Create new Group (Photo)

In the create new group section you have 3 options

1. Name - The name you give it to describe the group.
   
   
2. Add new users on sign up - If you check this users would automatically be added to this new group when they initially sign up(uncheck by default).
   
   
3. Automatic Login/out - If you've got a forum on the same page as your user login, check the option to automatically login to the forums as well when a user signs in. You'll need to publish your Web site to check this is set correctly due to web browser security restrictions.(checked by default)

Add users to a group

At the top of the group column select the group you wish to add the users to from the drop down list. Select the users from the left column and click add button, in between the columns, to put them into your group.(Photo) You may have to select the “refresh” link at the bottom of the group list column to see the new user in the group list.

Delete users from group

You can accomplish this in a couple ways.

1. Select your group from the drop down list > highlight the user you require to delete and select the  “Remove” button between the user list and group list.
   
   

2. Follow the section below, “Manage a group”
   
   

Manage a Group

Select the group you wish to manage from the drop down list and select the manage button.

In the Manage Group dialogue you have the options to change any of the options and name set when you made up the group.(Photo)

You will also see all the email addresses of the users who have been added to this group. If you double click any of these addresses the dialogue window will change to a window where you can manage this user.(Photo)

You will see all the groups that they have been added to and here you have an option to delete them from any of these but you also have a option to add them to any other groups you have.

Import/Export Tab (Photo)

Import

Browse to the .csv file that you wish to import and select import. The list will be imported into your user list and if you have the “require activation” checked (checked by default) an email will be sent by serif with username/password that needs to be replied to. Otherwise just an email informing them that they have been added to list with their username/password.

Export

Select which type of file you wish to export your user list to, i.e. .csv, .LDIF(Thunderbird) or semicolon separated and select save and browse to the location to save it.

Bans Tab

The Ban Tab is made up of one section where you can suspend/unsuspend users by using their email address, suspended users will be shown with an asterisk in the Manage Access Control dialog's user groups, or ban a IP address or organisation.

To allow banning to take place, the user must have been logged onto Serif Web Resources previously.

Password protect a page for group access (Photo)

Go to the page properties you want to password protect and click the security tab and put a tick in the "protect page with password" check box > click change/manage button and select your access control user group from the user group list that comes up and click OK. Do this for every page you want to protect.

If you have not set up an Access Control (user list) prior to selecting the change/manage button you will see a button to create ”New Access Control” in the access control user group and also a button to “Manage Group” that you manage a group that you have first selected from the list. You will be taken to the relevant section of the SWR to carry out the selected task.

When the pages have been protected, visitors who have signed up, login with the Access Login Control should be able to go through the protected pages in you site without having to sign in again.

Blog User Group (Photo)

If you have users who are signed up to your site that you wish to allow access to your site blog so they can write articles and edit you can set this up by adding a group to the access control and adding the users to it.

Then associate the group to the blog by going to the Blog in the Smart Objects library and select manage and choose the group you set up for the blog from the “Editors Group” drop down list.

When the users log into the Access Login Control they will be logged into the Blog at the same time allowing them access.
