How can I set this up so that certain people can add to the database and they can only delete there own stuff and modify there own stuff?? And anyone can view it all ??? ICQ me @ 10217446 if you can help me

In your .cfg file, first, make sure you have a field for the userid. Make a note of the number of the field.

Then, under "Authorization Options" set

$auth_no_authentication = 0;
$auth_allow_default = 1;
@auth_default_permissions = (1,0,0,0,0);
$auth_modify_own = 1;
$auth_view_own = 0;
$auth_user_field = the number I told you to make note above for the userid field;

If you want people to be able to signup online for an account, set

$auth_signup = 0;
@auth_signup_permissions = (1,1,1,1,0);

If you don't want people to be able to signup online, you will have to add users via the Admin link. Give each user you add the permission to add, view, modify and delete.

What do I call this field in the cfg file?

The userid field? Anything you want to. Call it Userid. You just have to be consistent when you use it.

Oh ok so I will have to put it on the actual form to add things right?

I am going to manually add them but how do I give them the "Give each user you add the permission to add, view, modify and delete." Also I dont see the option under admin to modify??

Did you click the link that says "Admin"? There's a place to enter the user name, the password and checkboxes to give them permissions.
