The users are the same as the htpasswd users.
Think of cisco acl's. Each access control list has a name. The above "group" is just a name The next section <permissions> are one letter features you wish to allow to the "group". For example group1 M would allow anyone in group "group1" to have the "M" feature. The "M" feature is listed, in the sample .acl file is # Access permissions: # M Modify user information Modify user. Which means anyone in the group named "group1" is allowed to modify a users information. The last part of the acl line is <user user user> A list of users who should belong to the group. For example: tech VI joe bob sally This means anyone who logs in as either joe, bob or sally is in the group named "tech". This group has the ability to only: # V View user information # I View domain information view user information and view domain information. Or in other words.. they can't delete things by mistake. If you set the <permission> to "*" then they can do anything, for example: senior * admin1 admin1 This grants users (in htpasswd) admin1 and admin2 the ability to do anything. And they are in the group named "senior". Hope that helps. One gotcha is, don't have any white space at the end of the <group> <permission> <user user user> lines Ken Jones inter7.com > > any help will be greatly appreciate. > > cheers, > camilo rostoker > > -- > +====================================================+ > > Camilo Rostoker > Web Developer > Scottsdale I.T.
