| How does Mambo Control User Access |
|

|
Mambo has two main hierarchies for User Groups: one for access to the Frontend (so users can log in to the web site and view designated sections and pages) and one for Backend Administration access. The default groups provided are: Public Backend
Public Frontend User Group Registered Group: These Users are able to login to the Frontend web site. Additional information (sections and pages) may be available to a user once logged in. In general, access provided to a parent group (like Registered) is inherited by the child groups (like Author) unless Author Group: These Users are given access to submit new content and edit their own content items/pages by logging into the Frontend. Editor Group: These Users are given access to submit and edit any content by logging into the Frontend. Publishers Group: These Users are given access to submit, edit and publish any content by logging into the Frontend.
A fresh installation of Mambo will have one user installed. This user is known as the Super Administrator. The Super Administrator has the login name of 'admin'. You will create a password during the Mambo installation for the Super Administrator. You can later rename the Super Administrator's login name. In Mambo, each user is assigned to a group. There are currently three (3) groups of users that can login to the Administrator Backend: Manager, Administrator and Super Administrator. Each group is explained below: Super Administrator: The Super Administrator Group has access to all of the Backend (Administrator) functions. Users in this group cannot be deleted and cannot be switched to another group. Administator: The Adminstrator Group has slightly restricted access to the Backend (Administrator) functions. A user in this group cannot: - Add or edit a user in the Super Administrator group
- Manage Users
