Security (35)
|
|
The content of a site can be significantly varied for different users. Some users of a site are granted access to all content, some only to a segment of the site's content. Some have a wide range of functions available, some only a limited subset. Access21 is particularly flexible in controlling security by granting different users access to various facilities. Tabs available to some may simply not be visible to others. Control Panel items may be available to some but not to others. The whole of the content of the site may be made private or public giving privileged access to some people to just some parts of it. Typically, the content under the Admin tab is available only to the Sitemaster.

Sections (2)

|
The one site can be Sectionalised with different Logo, Banner, Footer, Image dimensions, access privileges and other characteristics. A default Home Section is provided off the Home page of the site: the top level. Below this any number of Sections can be established using the Section Design Function. Each Section can be managed by a different SectionMaster, colored differently, show different header and control panel images and have its own Access privilege settings. Creation of a New Section, Assignment of SectionMaster and Colorisation is performed using the Section Design Editing function below.
