CREATING AN ACCESS GROUP
|
| 26 |
********************************************************************
|
| 27 |
Access groups are made up of user roles. Creating an access group
|
| 28 |
allows you to define the content accessible to those uesrs. By
|
| 29 |
default, simple_access makes all content public.
|
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
1. Once installed, navigate to
|
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
administer > access control > simple access > add group
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
and fill in the form fields as required.
|

CREATING A PROFILE
|
| 38 |
********************************************************************
|
| 39 |
Profiles are a method of defining the complete security configuration
|
| 40 |
for a node. So within a single profile the system administrator can
|
| 41 |
define exactly how a node will provide security. This means that users
|
| 42 |
with less knowledge can secure nodes without fear of exposing nodes to
|
| 43 |
users which should not have access.
