Adding Dynamic Web Objects 177
Access control is possible via Serif Web Resources (p. 167) by using a User
List Smart object, which can be created to manage user groups and users, and
how users sign in.
Successful establishment of access control on your website, is dependent on
following the steps below.
• Setting up your User List Smart object
• Adding users (manual or self-registration)
• Enabling access control
• Adding a login box
• Advanced user control
Setting up your User List Smart object
You'll need to firstly create a User List Smart object then create one or more
groups connected to that Smart object. Normally, you'll just need one Smart
object per site—the individual groups can then be used to control access to
specific pages or Smart object resources.
To create a User List smart object:
1. Click the Smart Object Tool button on the Web Objects
toolbar.
2. Login to Serif Web Resources (See Using Smart objects; p. 167). This
assumes you have a valid login; otherwise you will have to register.
3. From the dialog, select the New... button at the bottom of the My
Smart objects Library pane.
4. In the dialog, use the scroll bar to navigate the list of Smart objects,
then select User List, then click OK.
5. From the pop-up dialog, select Access Control.
6. From the dialog, name your Smart object, save it in a profile, and
modify colors and fonts for title, text/labels, buttons, or border.
