Terms and Conditions

If the security system has been properly set up, this facility should be only available to an administrator user.

Introduction

Adding and removing users creates MySQL users that can access XDBCMS, and also, adds their information into the database. You must enter the users (even if they have already been created manually within MySQL), so that the user details are available to the rest of the security system.

Removing a user will remove the details from the database, and then revoke all access from the database from that user.

Adding users

When adding a user, you are prompted for three items of information:

Username
Password
Re-entry of the password

You are asked to re-enter the password so that a typing mistake cannot be made.

Once you have completed all fields, and clicked on 'change', the user will be created.

Removing users

Removing users will remove the user details from the database and also revoke all access from the user.

You are prompted for the username to remove.

Note Once you click on 'change' the user is removed - you are not prompted to confirm.

Note 2 It is possible to re-enter the user - none of the previous user information is kept.
