User Management Interface

The password protected User Administration page for WebServer contains a data area and a menu bar. The data area may contain documentation, but it may also contain a data entry pane. Selecting User Configuration menu items in the menu bar accesses the User Management data entry panes.

Data-entry panes have two operation buttons: OK and Cancel.

The OK button affects any changes entered by the user and then displays a confirmation message.
The Cancel button indicates that an action was cancelled.

All user configuration menu options call up active server pages (".asp" files) that call GoAhead WebServer GoForm functions.
