Welcome to the Group Manager.NET help system...
Group Manager.NET is a User Signup and Authentication / Group Management system.
It uses MS Access 2000/XP/2003 or SQL Server databases to store user login details.
User Group
features are provided to allow multiple user groups/protection levels to exist.
It also contains an admin area where users can be queried/viewed, template based html error pages, signup, login, forgotten password, and edit profile functions.
Secure your web pages by adding a small ASP.NET header which redirects the user to the login page if not signed in. On a valid login, the user is then directed back to the page they origonally requested. All this functionality is provided by encrypted referer links and user group tags.
Group Manager.NET includes an email address verification module which when enabled requires new users that sign up to receive a verification email with an account activation link.
This helps reduce invalid / inaccessible email addresses from being used in the signup process on your site.
User logon credentials may also be taken from the local webserver or from a domains Active Directory (this is a new optional feature), allowing existing users of your internal network/server to login without the need to create an account.
For further product information and setup details use the Help Menu in the left hand frame.
