question about access

[crashuk]

is there any way to insert permissions in the .htpassword file? or any other file?
example
joe can read but not write when he logs on
mike can read and write when he logs on?

the .htaccess file is in the root folder
AuthUserFile C:\.htpassword
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My Secret Folder"
Require valid-user

httpd.conf
AllowOverride AuthConfig

.htpassword is in C:\.htpassword

Hi

You can edit your password file entrys with the [tt]htpasswd[/tt] utility.

Or you can use any online version of it, then edit the password file with a plain text editor. Google for them.

joe can read but not write when he logs on

how would you create something like that?

Hi

Theoretically with the [tt]limit[/tt] option, but I never tried :

<Limit POST PUT DELETE>
  Require user mike
</Limit>

Yes, that will work, but put it in httpd.conf not in .htpasswd

Sometimes this is done in an .htaccess file if overrides are needed at a subdirectory level, but there is substantial overhead to parsing all the .htaccess files

You can do like this to control what directories are protected.

<Location ~ /protected/folder>
<Limit POST PUT DELETE>
Require user mike
</Limit>
</Location>
