Hi,

I'm using Dripal 5.2 and I've installed the module, set up some protections, etc.

When I create a new user, it says "parent has been protected from the following editing operations: username, password, status, roles, deletion"

However, if I then log in as "Parent", go to the Edit tab I can edit everything.

Sorry if I'm being stupid. Can you help?

Thanks.

please carefully read all the documentation that comes with the module. i believe it thoroughly explains how things work.

in your case, 'parent' gets protected from _other_ user admins that might try to edit that account. a user usually has permissions to edit their own account, at least in some respects.

Ahh! Now I understand. It stops *other* people from editing their account. Sorry, I want the ability to stop the user from editing their own account because it's a communal one. Do you know of a way to stop this?

Thanks for your help.

Sigol.

As said in comment #2, I also want the ability to stop the user from editing their own account.

I need a communal user, so that a couple hundred people can share the same ID/password and see specific contents -- without being able to see or change the user's parameters.

Can't seem to get this working. Is this the right module for doing this?
