Controlling user access to the server
You can control who connects to the server by using DBUser
objects. You can choose to allow anyone to connect to the server, or you can limit access to users who already have a DBUser
object. To limit user access you would use an administrative movie to create new users' DBUser
objects before allowing them to connect on their own. You can also choose to let all users connect, but restrict certain privileges to only those users with DBUser
objects. You do this by giving users with DBUser
objects a higher value for their #userlevel
attribute and letting other users default to a lower value. See Configuring the server for more information.
