<p><font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 8pt; font-weight: 700">You are currently viewing the
|
|
<u>User Control</u> section of LimeSurvey.</font></p>
|
|
|
|
<p><font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 8pt">From this point you can view and
|
|
edit the security settings and user access rights for your script.</font></p>
|
|
|
|
<p><font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 8pt">LimeSurvey security settings
|
|
rely on the Apache directory security system. If you are not using the Apache
|
|
web surver, you cannot use these security settings and you should initialise
|
|
directory security using your servers standard methods.</font></p>
|
|
|
|
<p><font face="Verdana"><font style="font-size: 8pt"><u><strong>Initialising Security<br>
|
|
</strong></u>The first time you run security from LimeSurvey, it will 'initialise'
|
|
the security settings. When it 'initialises', it creates a '.htaccess' file in
|
|
your admin directory that restricts access to the admin directory to only those
|
|
users in the '.htpasswd' file. The initial username and password are determined by
|
|
the 'default' settings in your config.php file. Once you have initialised
|
|
security succesfully, your browser will ask for this username and password
|
|
before allowing you to continue using the administration scripts of LimeSurvey.</font></font></p>
|
|
|
|
<p><font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 8pt"><u><strong>Adding Users</strong></u><br>
|
|
Once you have initialised security and 'logged in', you will be able to view the
|
|
existing users on your system, add new users, delete users or modify users. This
|
|
is fairly straight forward. In the list of users that displays, click on the
|
|
"edit" button to modify an entry, or the "del" button to delete it. If there is
|
|
only one entry in the user table you will not be able to delete that.</font></p>

Turning Off Security<br>
|
|
</font><font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 8pt">To turn off LimeSurveys
|
|
security settings, click on the "Turn Off Security" button. This will delete the
|
|
htpasswd, htaccess file and all user information from the directories.</font></p>

<p><font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 8pt"><u><strong>Limitations of LimeSurvey
|
|
Security</strong></u><br>
|
|
Until a more flexible security system is implemented, it should be remembered
|
|
that the LimeSurvey security settings are an 'all-or-nothing' affair. Users
|
|
either have access to ALL administration functions, or they have none.
|
|
Eventually a system is planned that allows you to set levels of access. Note
|
|
especially that the user security feature is accessible to all users, including
|
|
the PLAIN-TEXT PASSWORDS.</font></p>
