User Groups

From Documentation

The 'User Groups' page let's you create groups which, in turn, can have different rights assigned to them. The default groups initially included with 68 Classifieds are:

   * -Administrators
   * -Registered Users
   * -Users Awaiting Confirmation
   * -Banned Users
   * -Guest

Users assigned to the administrator's group can log into the administration panel with their username and password. More than likely, if you're reading this user's manual, you're included in this group.

Registered Users are people who have filled out the registration page and confirmed their information by responding to the confirmation email. This group includes people interested in placing ads or guests who would like to save ads to their 'favorites'.

'Users Awaiting Confirmation' have filled out the registration form but have not yet confirmed their subscription by clicking the link in the confirmation email. Possible reasons why there are people in this group include: they may have provided a fake email address, they may have entered their email address incorrectly, etc.

'Banned Users' are members that are not allowed to view any portion of your site - they are banned from the site. Members are added to this group by an administrator. (Click on 'Browse' or 'Search Members' to locate the offensive member. Click on 'Modify', change the group to which they're assigned and then click 'Submit'.)

'Guests' are considered to be anyone who is not currently logged in.

You can modify the rights of each group by pressing the 'Modify' button. You will be forwarded to a page that lists the rights of that specific group.

Editing a User Group

If you edit a user group and want to see the changes you made, you must first log out then login with a user that is a member of that group. Otherwise you will not see any changes.
