Hi,

On my website I want two "levels" of users. I would like to have "admins" that can view protected pages, and can update the protected pages through a .asp page I built. But I only want the people classified as "users" to be able to view the protected pages, and not be able to access the update .asp page, because I don't want them to have the ability to update pages. I want to use an access database to store usernames and passwords. Is this possible?

Also, the update .asp page I built has multiple WYSIWYG editors embedded, and each one updates a certain page. I need the administrators to be able to update text and images. Is there any better way of going about this using ASP instead of multiple WYSIWYG editors?

Thank you

If your host supports Access and your security policies allow storing passwords in an Access database.

Implementing authentication/authorization can be a very complicated issue, depending how much you value restricting access.

You can use controls like this forum uses.

Greetings,
On your first question, of course it's possible. An easy way to do it would be to just assign a unique variable to admins and pop it in the session when an admin successfully logs in. Set up the pages to only display for a certain user. If user1 enters a page without the admin id he can't perform certain functions or is outright banned from the page...

Your second question totally lost me
