I'd really like to see a Hecnet-based solution - like a set host to a captured account on mim or something would be nice. A web page kind of breaks the illusion of an antique network :). Limiting access to hecnet methods sort of self-polices just by itself. A "captured" account? ;) Ian (Trying to keep up with the tread while at my son's birthday party) Sent from my iPhone On 2013-05-18, at 9:58 AM, Johnny Billquist <bqt at softjar.se> wrote: On 2013-05-18 18:52, Cory Smelosky wrote: On Sat, 18 May 2013, Dave McGuire wrote: On 05/18/2013 12:45 PM, Johnny Billquist wrote: I like the idea of giving us all write access. Maybe you can set up regular dumps of the database for restoration in case someone screws up. I can certainly do that. It just becomes a question of people might need to reenter information in case a rollback has to go far. Also trickier to realize if "corruption" actually have happened perhaps. On the other hand, I could atleast have permissions that only allowed random people to modify data, not add new, nor delete. That's a really good idea. I second this. How flexible is Datatrieve's permissions system? You can identify users either by UIC, or by entity-specific passwords. And for each type of thing in there you have Read, Write, Modify, Extend, and Control. And the access is a list, with the first match being the permissions used. So I could either make sure all people who might want to modify this have their own account on MIM, or else I could just create password protected access, and we could have shared or private passwords.
