User Groups
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
- 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. By default the administrators user group can see a lot more details on the sites frontend than normal users do.
- Registered Users
- 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
- '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
- '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'.)
- Guest
- 'Guests' are considered to be anyone who is not currently logged in.
You can easily create a new group by clicking on the 'New Group' button and filling out the subsequent form. Members can be transferred to a newly-created group by modifying their member details.
Please note: If you make a change to a user group you will not be able to see the changes unless you login as a member of this group.
