guid based access control / user administration
-
Hi, I vaguely remember that someone here worked on a project that would apply some user access control to any element one could assign a guid. However, I can't find a link and cp search doesn't give me anything - neither does google. Can anyone remember this and help me with a link ? Maybe the author :-D In case you want to recommend something else, feel free. I need something I can use for controlling which users on a website can access the webpages etc. And I would like to avoid implementing it myself. It must be relatively easy to integrate into our system, and doesn't need to be advanced at all. Thanks in advance :) /Jan

Assuming you are using ASP.NET I can recommend setting the <authorization> element in the Web.config file of your website. The easiest method to secure more directories is to place a web.config file in the directory you want to secure and place a <location> tag with a <system.web><authorization>lt;/authorization></system.web> tag inside it. Check the ASP.NET documenation for more details: authorization Element (ASP.NET Settings Schema)[^]
