Keys to Your Wealth

There are 6 roles set up for this site: anonymous, authenticated, member, author, editor, and administrator.

Anonymous users are those users who simply visit the site without logging in. They can see most of the articles, videos and stories. They cannot leave comments and attachments to the various articles are usually not available to them.

Authenticated simply means that the user created an account and is logged into the system. Authenticated users can leave comments and they can usually see attachments to articles. There are also some pages and links that are visible to them but not to anonymous users.

Member is an authenticated user who has paid a membership fee. Being a member allows them to see content that is reserved only for paying members. There are actually two types of member content. There is content that all members can see by virtue of being a member. There is sometimes specialized content that is paid for separately. In those cases, a list of the content that the member has access to is stored in a database and when accessing paid content, the list will be referred to.

Author is a special role that allows individuals to create content for us. We are open to having guest authors who contribute articles under their own name. The articles are reviewed by an editor before posting.

Editor is a reserved role. The editor's primary function is to review articles and other content before posting it to the live site.

Administrator is the super user dude whose mighty powers keeps all this stuff running. He has access to everything so don't mess with him, he tends to be vindictive. :-)
