I'm writing a quick application for a telesales team on which to log their contacts. The ADMIN side is fine and the viewable listings and details are just what is required. However, contrary to initial requirements I've now been asked if I can secure the viewable listings and details so that a salesperson (other than someone with an admin privilege) can view listings of only their own records.

I'm sure CMS Builder was not set up to do this, so does anybody have any ideas that I could integrate please?

Thanks in advance.

Are you using just the admin program for this or are their viewers on the website that will be displaying the data?

If it's just the admin program you can give the salespeople only "Writer" access under: Admin > Accounts - and they will only be able to see and modify records they have created themselves.

If it's for the viewers and you wanted to password protect it for everybody with one global password you could use a .htaccess file.

Otherwise you'd need to write something custom to do it. We could do it as a custom programming job, email me at dave@interactivetools.com if you're interested in that.
