TYPO 3 user management

Backend users

The backend users are located in the root of the page tree. From the list module click on the globe icon and choose New from the context menu. The new record list will appear. Select Backend user. A quite large page with many options will open, where you can select for example which modules the user can access and many more.

User permissions

For every backend user you can select which Modules, Folders, Pages, etc to access. From "File Mounts" you can mount certain directory to the user's Filelist module. The "DB mounts" points which page from the whole page tree to become the root page for the user. That way you can give to specific user a specific part/s of the page tree. Just set the fields value to that page.

Each page has a permission setting for access like the file system on a Unix server. There is an owner user, an owner group and then permission settings for each in five different categories: read page, edit page, delete page, new sub-page and page content. You can set and view permissions in the "Access" module.
