Utilities: Administration: Administrators: Permission Groups: Permission Rules
Permission groups enable administrators to create rules which either allow or deny users access to particular URLs within ListManager. If a page in ListManager contains a word or location which has been set to "deny" access, the user will not be able to access that particular URL. There are several default groups included, which can be edited. New groups can be created to customize the accessibility you would like to give your users. These rules work like firewall rules; if no permission rule matches, the default is to accept the user and allow access. If users are denied, a message informing them that they do not have permission to access that particular page will be displayed.
There is no limit to the number of rules which can be set for any group. The permission is either set to allow or deny access to a particular URL or to all URLs with a specific word, and the order in which ListManager reads these permission levels can be determined by moving the individual rules up or down in the hierarchy. These rules are then applied to list, site, or server administrators as they are created.
Finding Permission Rules
Twenty permission rules are displayed at one time. To view more, click Show more. Repeatedly clicking Show more will show greater numbers of rules at a time. The permission rules will be listed in order, from lowest to highest. This table cannot be sorted, since the order in which they appear is relevant to their functionality.
Viewing Or Editing An Existing Permission Rule
To view a permission rule, click on the group name. This will take you to the Utilities: Administration: Administrators: Permission Groups: Edit Permission Rule page, where the rule can be edited. Note that you will not be able to edit your own permissions.
Copying Permission Groups
Click Copy next to the permission rule you'd like to copy. ListManager will show you the old description, and will ask you for the new description. The default copy name is the original permission rule name with "-copy"added to the end. The permission rule created will have all of the settings of the old rule.
Deleting Permission Rules
Click Delete next to the permission rule you'd like to delete. ListManager will ask you if you're sure before deleting the permission rule.
Moving Rule Hierarchy Up
Click "up" next to the rule you want to shift one level up. This moves it one level up and changes the order number. For example, if you have two rules, with order 1 and 2, and you click "up" next to rule 2, it will reverse the order:
Rule A Order 1
Rule B Order 2 (move up)
becomes:
Rule B Order 1
Rule A Order 2
Moving Rule Hierarchy Down
Click "down" next to the rule you want to shift one level down. This moves it down onelevel and changes the order number. For example, if you have two rules, with order 1 and 2, and you click "down" next to rule 1, it will reverse the order:
Rule A Order 1 (move down)
Rule B Order 2
becomes:
Rule B Order 1
Rule A Order 2
