icon5.gif   Restricting viewing messages, posted by Jen Manz on Wed Aug 11 15:38:07 2004 Welcome_Login.txtelogd.txt
I am working on a logbook for a lab.  I have two questions...
First - Some of the logbook entries should not be viewed by certain users.  
What would be the easiest way to restrict viewing some entries?

Hi, 
I also have this problem, when a non admin user logs in he does not have access to
the config file but if he logs out he can then access the config file as non logged

Dear Stefan,
I eventually tried the latest version from the CVS. 
And it is odd because like when I tried version 2.5.3, it is like it ignores

I just see your [global] part of elogd.cfg, could you send me the complete file?

What you also could try is to delete all cookies stored in your browser. The way

The elogd.cfg is attached in the previous message as attachement 3. Sorry it is a
little bit buried between pictures.
The reason I put the picture of the global elogd.cfg is to show that the not logged

Ok, now I see your problem. You defined a "Guest menu commands" which explicitly allows
not-authorized access (that's what it's for). If you only want to allow authorized
access, remove the "guest menu commands" from the logbook sections and also from the

Thank you, I misunderstood how the "Guest menu commands" worked I thought I had to specify
a limited set of commands to actually limit guest users.
