Summary
We learned about the different types of MODx users. We learned about User groups and resource groups.
We build a signup form and login form and used it to understand authentication and authorization using roles.
There are two categories of MODx users:
Manager
Web
We learned that:
Users can be grouped into User groups
Resources can be assigned to Resource groups
Linking Resource groups to Web User groups will control the viewing of resources
Linking Resource groups to Manager User groups will control manager access to the resources
Roles define what the manager can do with the accessible resources
We have modified the site to include a signup form and a login form. We have also changed the authorization so that only our friends can post a blog entry.
