Security Assist advice needed
Hi, I am trying to create a multi-level access to my admin area that I am creating.
I want to create access where 1 see restricted content, and 2 sees all content. I have created admin access through the wizard, but I have no idea of how to edit the resultant rules to allow for multi-level admins. I know how to do it with Dreamweaver's security access wizards, and I often end up just removing WA's version and reverting to DW's, but integration isn't as seamless. I'm confused as to how I can get this in place and was hoping for some advice. I've looked for guidance in the help file, but it only tells me the function of a particular part of the wizards rather than how to achieve what I need to achieve.
I have the rules created by the wizard which are 'Failed log in', 'Log in success', 'Logged in to tbl_admin' and 'Validated form'. I've been looking at the rule 'Logged in to tbl_access', but don't understand how to amend this so I can allow restricted access if a user = 1, or full access if a user = 2. I don't also understand how this rule will then differentiate from restricted and full access when I apply the WA Show Region. Do I create a new rule to run alongside the existing one? If so, how do I then add both rules to a page to ensure that access is granted to both levels of user rather than just the one?
With DW's security access, it's a simple case of declaring '1,2' as the info to check against for all to see the restricted content, and then declaring '2' to see all. I'm also confused that I can only have 1 allow if in a rule, and I''m not sure what to compare to as the field is blank!
Sorry for the long explanation of my confusion, but I would like some guidance on how to use this facility properly without having to dump it again and use DW's because I've destroyed the log in functionality through experimentation!
Thanks.
Mat
