Backup Central

Hello All!,
I'm just wondering about the configuration switches $Conf{CgiAdminUserGroup} and $Conf{CgiAdminUsers}. I have been trying to set up just a CgiAdminGroup that contains multiple users. However I didn't want to have to specify users, but just a single group. So I would have something like this:


$Conf{CgiAdminUserGroup} = 'admin';
$Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = '';

Then what I would do is control access to the cgi using the .htaccess file along with a htpasswd and htgroup file. What I wanted to do was say, all computer users have limited access with people belonging to the 'admin' group having full admin access. I created a admin group in the htgroup file as well as a others group for others that are allowed in but not with full access. However if I do the above, I can't get admin access to people belonging to the admin group, it just gives the regular access. Can the CgiAdminUserGroup switch be used independantly from CgiAdminUsers. From what I can tell CgiAdminUsers can be used independantly without setting AdminUsersGroup and CgiAdminUserGroup is redundant without having CgiAdminUsers set to the Admin users needed. Please clarify this for me, it would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Ryan

Sorry, this isn't documented very well. $Conf{CgiAdminUserGroup}
is a single unix group (not related to htaccess group). The set
of admin users is the union of all the users in the unix group
$Conf{CgiAdminUserGroup} and the list of users in
$Conf{CgiAdminUsers}.
