Access Groups Manager
Access Groups are a method of organizing users according to access level criteria. By defining varying levels of access, regions of a site can be configured specific to the needs of a variety of access criteria.
To organize access groups, the members of a group are defined when configuring the group, and member information can be validated against specified values in the database stored relative to the user. That way, the access level for a given user can be set in the session, and used to determine access levels during the duration that they are logged in to the website.
The way access is determined is by referencing groups in the access criteria for specified access rules for the site. See Access Rules Manager for more information on defining rules and referencing groups in rule definitions.
The following interface details the configuration of a new access group. The edit interface contains the same configuration parameters.
Name: Specifies the name of the access group.
Group members: Details the member criteria to include a user in the group.
