MySQLi Restrict Acces To Page - user level

Hello, I have some pages for which I would like to limit access based on the type of user for example administrator, customer, employee etc .. I see in Server Behavior, the "MySQLi Restrict Access To Page" function. Is this the right function? If so, what should I do? Thank you.

You can save the user type into the session with the user authentication server behavior on your login page. Then create rules for each type of user with WebAssist->Security Assist->Manage Site Access->Access Rules Manager...

Once the rules are created for each user type, then you can use the Server Behavior: WebAsssist->Security Assist->Secure Page

You can save a session variable with the user access level from the login page... By default it will use the same name as the column in the database, so let's assume it is "UserAccess" although you can set it to whatever you want.

Then you can create rules for each access level. One rule might be:
"Admin" and it might be set to "Allow If Session variable "UserAccess" equal to 4

You can then use that rule to restrict access to admin users only, Hopefully that helps.

No, you can only do one restrict access server behavior per page. But you can can do a rule that checks more than one condition to accomplish what you need. Usually when you create an "admin" rule a "not admin" rule is automatically created. You could also use "restrict if" instead of "allow if" to create a second rule that is the inverse of the first.
