SYNOPSIS
torrus acledit [options...]DESCRIPTION
This command manages the Torrus access control lists. Each user is identified by user ID, and has a set of attributes. Currently supported attributes are "cn" (common name) and "userPasswordMD5" (MD5 digest of the user's password).Each user belongs to one or several groups. Each group has its own set of privileges. A privilege is identified by privilege name and object name. Currently only one privilege name is supported: "DisplayTree", and the object name is the name of the tree that this group is allowed to browse.
User authorization in the web interface is controlled by the $Torrus::CGI::authorizeUsers variable in torrus-siteconfig.pl.
