Set frontend site login

This controls whether the user can log into the sites frontend site, to leave comments, RSVP, make purchases, and so on. If a user creates their own account via the front end site, this will automatically be checked and they will be able to log in. New users created in the backend will not be able to log in by default.

Users who have the ability to log into the current site in the backend will always have the ability to log into the frontend site.

Once a user is able to login, you can click "Send login information" to send the user an email containing their login information for the front end site.

Set backend site login

Here you can set whether a user has the ability to log into the CMS backend. If the user is able to log in based on rights at other sites, this will control whether they can switch to the current site when logged in. Checking this will automatically allow users to log into the frontend site.

Resellers can set whether a user is a site admin, and site admins can set the various dropdowns the user should appear in: preacher, author, and/or event coordinator.

Once a user is able to login, you can click "Send login information" to send the user an email containing their login information for the CMS.

Rules

Manage Rule Templates

Site admins can create a series of rules templates, which they can then have available to apply to other users when setting up their rules. To create a rule template, click the “Manage rule templates” link to slide out the rule template manager. When you have the current set of rules set the way you desire, give the template a name and click save. This template will now be available when you are editing other users.

Editing Rules

Editing rules follows the basic pattern of MODULE / GROUP / PERMISSION:

  • Module: Select the module the rule should apply to. You can also select “ALL MODULES” to create a rule that applies to all modules across the system.
  • Group: Select the group this user can create content for. You can also select “ALL GROUPS” to create a rule that allows the user to create content for any group. Note that there is a special “Site Group” which is a part of all sites. This is any piece of content’s “default group”. The site group would be the place to publish content that you are comfortable with any web visitor seeing, and which isn’t particular to any group. All content not otherwise published to a group is published to the site group.
  • Permission: Select the sort of permission this user should have. Read means that the user can see that module in the backed, and can view content, but cannot create or edit content. Write means that the user has full permission to create, edit, publish and delete content. None can be used to deny a permission implicit in another rule.
