PROTECTION & ADMINISTRATION

Online Administration panel

The Administration panel is used to manage your website live from your web browser (online). For example, to browse your site map, check counter statistics, add content in editable pages (Blog, Calendar, Online editable page, Shop, etc), configure counters, self-registration and time zone, or manage users for protected areas in your site.

Make sure to first set username and password for your Online Administration account in Online Administration Settings.

The default combination admin & admin is not accepted as valid Online Administration account for security reasons.

Online Administration menu:

• Site map shows your site structure by language, menu items, pages and subpages.



 

For each page you have: a Page name column where you can see list of all pages; Admin Link column where you can access the admin panel for all editable pages (such as Blog, Calendar, Online Editable Page, etc); Protected column where you can check which pages are protected (X). If you use an EZGenerator counter, you will see two more columns Page loads and Unique Visitors (check Set Counter). When you click on [details] link you will be redirected to counter graph statistics screen.

 

• In Manage users you manage your users. You can add/ edit and remove users.



 

Each user is defined with username, name, surname, email, password and access. The username should be unique - you will not be allowed to have two users with same username.

When you move mouse over a user in this screen you will see actions you can apply to the user: edit access, details, password, remove and block. WIth the block option you can temporarily set certain user to be inactive.

With Add user you create users.

When you give access to users you have 3 options:

• View ALL - The user will have access to all protected pages in the site.

• Edit ALL - The user will have access to all protected pages and also he will be able to edit all special pages (Blog, Calendar, Shop, Online Editable pages, etc).

• Selected - Set access at the page level; give access to one page and forbid access to another. Note that for protected pages you can set view, edit or no access, while for non-protected pages with admin panels, you can set edit or no access. For more information on protection, see Page Protection.
  
  

  If protection areas are enabled, you will also be able to set access on area level. For more information on protection areas, check Protection Areas.

  With Non-confirmed users option you check users that have signed up for registration but have not yet confirmed it. You can remove these users or re-send them confirmation email. Applicable only if Self-Registration is enabled.

• Use Counter settings screen to change your counter settings (check Set Counter for more information on the topic).
• With Registration Settings you configure Self-Registration. Applicable only if Self-Registration is enabled.
• Use Settings screen to change Administration panel Language, to set Time Zone offset and Redirect Page after logout.
