Restrict Access Based on Section

Sunday 10 August 2003 12:28:13 am

Hi,

Making progress setting up my new ezpublish site.... I've searched the docs and wiki for info on access restriction but can't find what I need.

How do I set up ezpublish so I can assign permissions per section? Ie. I want any users with the role "trader" to be able to access the "trading" section of the website and so on.

How do assign permissions in this sort of way - per section, or a functional equivalent?

Also, when I have new users sign up to my site I want them to be assigned roles based on how much they pay etc... ie my own logic, so how do I access the api's to do this? Do I even need to access the api's?

Kind Regards,
Willie Seabrook

Well want I'm having trouble with the code to verify someone. This is what I need to do in pseudo:

if(user is allowed to see section 8)
do nothing
else
redirect to login page if not logged in
else
display access denied if logged in and no access allowed.

Is this all handled in the index.php anyway? I'm really stuck here and I can't find *any* docs on the subject. Could someone direct us please?

Regards,
Willie
