Thanks,

 In that case you have to make one logbook per user and restrict the access to it using the "Login user = ..." directive.

 I understand.

Thank you for the quick response.

It is possible that the Move to... and Copy to... commands can be configured so that when they operate on a message that is part of a thread, that only that message will be moved, instead of the whole thread?

 This has not been implemented on purpose. Assume you have a thread with

A

    B

       C

So A links to B, B links back to A and so on. If you would move now B into another logbook, A and C would point to an entry which does not exist any more. Furthermore, C may contain some sentences which are a reply to something which has been said in B. So even if the "Move To" mechanism would re-link A to C and C to A, the entry C would maybe make no sense any more if B is missing. That's why you only can move threads as a whole. If you want to move individual messages, don't use replies. You can actually disable the reply command in the configuration file.

Ist there a possibility to use wildcards specifiing the users who are allowed to use a command, like ... Allow New = admin1, admin2, admin3 Allow Edit = admin1, admin2, admin3 Deny New = * Deny Edit = *

 Wildcards are not implemented for that purpose. But a "Allow New = admin1, admin2" implicitly denies this command for all other users, I guess that's what you want. There is also the possibility to use "Guest Menu Commands" to allow everybody to read entries, but only logged in users to write and modify them.

I tried it in a global group configuration

[global monitoring]
Allow Edit = admin1, admin2
Allow New = admin1

But I as admin2 am still able to create new entries in the corresponding log books.

Is this configuration only for logbooks?

 I just tried myself with following config:

[global]
port = 8080
password file = passwd
Allow New = joe

[demo1]
Theme = default
Attributes = Author, Subject

and it jus worked fine. When I'm not logged on as "joe", the "New" command even does not appear. If you would have supplied your correct ELOG version, I could have checked if you have an old version. In that case you could upgrade.
