6.1 Admin Feature

The Admin feature is still in its infancy in TWIG, currently it has two ways to allow the addition of users that have access to it:

  1. Create a file in features/admin/users that is called <username>.admin.
  2. Create an entry in the database table twig_acl_groups with the following properties:
    SID  Make up a random number above 100000
    groupname TWIGAdministrators
    username The username you want to add to the administrators list.

The Admin feature consists of several sub functions which are contained in the features/admin/modules directory.

Many of these functions are used to assign permisions to various features of TWIG when the advanced security system is used. When basic security is used many of these functions become redundent.

Currently the following modules are supported
