TT Web Site Manager User management
User management

The user management script lists the TT Web Site Manager users and their access rights to the scripts and sites. It allows users to be created or deleted, as well as all their details and permissions to be edited.

Proceed with caution when changing user manager permissions. If you revoke your own user manager permissions you will no longer be able to access this script to change them back.
Site management - Refresh this page

To create a new user, simply click on the "Create a new user" button. This creates a new user with the following login details and a password of "New user's password". If you create a user in this way you MUST change these details immediately! Failure to do so could leave a default username and password accessible to anyone, while the user is set up with no rights by default this is not a good situation.

To change a user's details you simply edit the relevant permission or text box and click on the "Update" button. Here follows a detailed run-down of the individual options.
Full name This is just the user's full name for display purposes.
Username This is the username under which the person is to log in.
Password This is the password to acompany the username above.
Page manager Setting this option to "Yes" allows the user to create and build pages.
Item manager Setting this option to "Yes" allows the user to create item containers and items, also to edit items.
User manager Setting this option to "Yes" allows the user to manage users and private page users, as well as to create, edit and delete sites.
SQL user Setting this option to "Yes" allows the user to access the SQL prompt. This is a script that allows the exectution of any SQL code that your TT Web Site Manager's MySQL database login has the right to run.
Site permissions This is a SELECT MULTIPLE box that lists all the sites held on your installation of the TT Web Site Manager. The sites to which the user in question has access are selected. To add or remove a site from the user's permissions, in most browsers you simply hold down your SHIFT key and click on that site's name in the box.

Take extra care when changing user manager permissions. If you revoke your own user manager permissions you will not be able to return to this script to give them back to yourself, in effect locking yourself out of your TT Web Site Manager installation forever. If you are unfortunate enough to do this to yourself by mistake, you will have to give yourself the permission back by hand by running a piece of SQL code like the one below using the mysql command line utility or a MySQL administration program like phpMyAdmin. You have been warned, take care with that one!

To remove a user from the system, simply click on the "Delete" button by that user's entry. A confirmation message is displayed, as shown below, clicking on "Confirm delete" removes the user.

Are you sure you want to delete this user's entry? Deleting it will also remove any resources connected with it.

Yet again, take care with deleting users. If you manage to delete your own username, you will lock yourself out and you may need to delete all admin users by hand and run the install script again if you do not have another administrator login under which you can enter the system.
