Looking for a tool to give different permission

[denise1]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a tool that will give different permission to view different web pages. Any suggestions?

I was thinking that a long on script to send the user to their companies web site pages. Not sure.

Thank you,

Do you mean you want to hold a bunch of private pages and only allow certain people access to certain groups of pages? Like only the finance department can look at financial records and only the warehouse managers can view stock logs etc?

yes, Mr. Herer...

Well a simple solution could be just to use basic authentication (aka basic auth). It's a simple instruction to your web server to ask for a user name and password before allowing access to a directory (folder) on the server. The user name and password for a directory on the server will be the same for everyone, but the user names and passwords for each directory can still be different.

It's probably the least flexible solution, but it's almost certainly the easiest to turn on.

Sound like something that might work for you or do you need something more flexible?
