Help Index users and groups Creating and Modifying Users and Groups In order to control access to resources, you set up users and groups using the Users/Groups tab of the Autodesk MapGuide Server Admin Properties dialog  box. To display the Autodesk MapGuide Server Admin Properties dialog box, choose Edit Properties. Then, click the Users/Groups tab. Click for details about the options in this dialog box. First, you create users by specifying their names and passwords. Then, you create groups. Finally, you assign users to the groups as members.  For step-by-step instructions, choose Help Contents, click the Index tab, and look up "users and groups." Assigning Users to the Authors Group Autodesk MapGuide Server contains a predefined group called Authors. When creating a map layer in Autodesk MapGuide Author, members of the Authors group can query Autodesk MapGuide Server for a list of the available data sources. Such queries elicit a prompt for a user name and password, which are validated against the Authors group list. Although a user can enter a data source's full path name to include the data source in a map layer, it is much easier to be able to choose from a list of available resources, rather than entering a full path name.
