Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] allow_access() question

[Richard S. <ri...@ri...>]

I really don't like the fact that the person has to be an admin in 
order to use the allow_access() function on them. On my module I'm 
working on, I have users that are just users and don't administer 
anything but yet I need to give them certain permissions on what they 
can and cant do. In order for me to check their permissions I have to 
make them administrators??? Doesn't make logically sense for me???

Best Regards,
Richard S.
