I configured an admin-only field (userid), however when I log on as default user and perform a serch I get access to the userid field which wasn't supposed to appear... what can I do?... thanks

I defined userid as:
usuerid => [11, 'alpha', -2, 8, 0, '', ''],
and the permissions:
$auth_no_authentication = 0;
$auth_logging = 1;
$auth_allow_default = 1;
$auth_view_own = 0;
$auth_user_field = -1;

If you are creating your own forms, you can setup your userid field like the following which will hide it from all but admin.

if ($per_admin) {
print qq|
<TR><TD><$font>UserID:</FONT></TD><TD><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="UserID" SIZE="10" VALUE="$rec{'UserID'}" MAXLENGTH="10"> &nbsp $rec{'UserID'}</TD></TR>
|;
}
else {
print qq|
<TR><TD colspan=2> <input type="hidden" NAME="UserID" VALUE="$rec{'UserID'}"></TD></TR> |;
}
print qq|


you might also want to check the spelling as you first stated the field was userid, but your .cfg shows usuerid.

If you are using autogenerate to make your forms, the spelling might be the problem?

Hope this helps :)

Thanks... Your code will help me in the near future when I design my own forms, but for now I am using autogenerated forms. I checked my spelling in the .cfg and its okay. Then, why are the admin-only fields still showing to default users?

@auth_default_permissions = (1,0,0,0,0);
$db_auto_generate = 1;

The only thing I can think of that might be causing problems is this line:

$auth_user_field = -1;

There are no -1 fields, as fields start with 0 and then are numbered consecutively.

I believe your user field is 11.

Try changing this:

$auth_user_field = 11;

Hope this helps

That is 100% incorrect.

Read the documentation that comes with the out-of-the box DBMAN:
