I have been reading through the posts about user IDs and permissions
and don't quite understand how they work.
To add a user I understand. I go to Main page : Configuration :
Local users and I enter the name and the password.
What I am unsure of is the whole permissions part of the tool. How
does it work?
On the Permissions section of the wiki:
http://wiki.racktables.org/index.php/RackTablesAdminGuide#Permission_configuration_examples
It has a simple example of adding a power user:
Admin and power user
allow {$userid_1}
allow {$username_jack}
How does that mean jack is a power user? What makes the difference or
what is a power user?
I have seen other examples from posts about adding read only users:
Allow {$username_user} and {$tab_default}
How does that mean the user is a read only?
Does each line signify a new user permission?
