User status

Here we talk about status.

Please note all settings in administration page within square brackets [] are properties, and not status.

Status list

This list is sorted by decreasing permissions:

  • webmaster
  • administrator
  • user
  • generic
  • guest

webmaster

  • This status can be set via the web interface, and must be set by the configuration file (Configuration Webmaster).
  • Several users may have this status. It is recommended to set a second webmaster id via the web interface (Hacking defence). By default in configuration file, the first user is defined as webmaster (Installation or Configuration Webmaster).
  • This status grants all permissions and authorizes access to all pages and information in the gallery.

Differences between Configuration Webmaster and web interface Webmaster:

  • Configuration Webmaster status couldn't be changed by web interface
  • Configuration Webmaster address is available on public page for connected users only.

Webmaster/Advisor has a read access anywhere except on following:

  • Uncontrolled plugins (generally new options)
  • FIXME
