Security System - Overview

As XDBCMS can be used in a single or multi user environment, it contains a group based, comprehensive system that can allow or deny access to any web page to any user of the system.

The security system consists of:
  • Changing your password
  • Adding or removing users
  • Managing access based upon 'user groups'
Note it is imperative that you understand the security system as it is possible to deny access to any user, including yourself!

Note 2 when the system is initially installed, there are NO security settings - i.e. anyone can open any web page - it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you set up at least an administrator.

Note 3 this security system has no relation to any other security systems on your server (apart from the database password is actually held within the database - i.e. you can manually go in to mysql, and change your password, this new password will be in effect when you log into xdbcms).
