Security
How do I manage security?
There are two prime areas of security concern: allowing the correct users to access
information, and ensuring acceptable messages are being posted. Look for a
comprehensive user access control, allowing you to restrict exactly what
information each user has access to, including anonymous users on your site.
For content, moderation allows a designated administrator to review messages before
they are posted. Filtering automates many rules (such as offensive language
or large file attachments) to ensure the discussion is appropriate to be posted.

User Security
By using a role-based access control system,
you can quickly grant read, post and reply permissions and assign the permissions to groups of
related users at once, for any number of discussion groups.
You may also grant internal users access to the administration area to allow them to administer users
without full access rights.
By using a role-based access control system, you can quickly add new users and be assured that
they have the correct permissions, or assign new permissions to groups of related users at once.
And users can control their own profile of their individual information such as
name and e-mail address. They can make that information public or use an alias
when posting information.
Integrated User Security
You may have a database of users with login details for your main website. Rather than duplicating
the same information, MPNews can make use of user details stored in any location, such as databases, CRM systems,
or web services. MPNews can even integrate to an existing web site so users have only one
name/password to remember (single sign-on).
Moderating Discussions
MPNews offers configurable moderation controls. You can determine which discussions
and which users or groups of users must have messages reviewed before they become
public. You can grant permission to multiple users to moderate the discussions
without granting full administration rights.
Message Filtering
Message filtering is simply a way to prevent inappropriate or corrupt messages from being posted. By carefully filtering messages, customers will not need to
wade through "spam" messages. MPNews comes supplied with a range of flexible
filtering rules and actions; additional rules and actions written in C#, VB.NET,
JScript.NET or any other .NET language may be added.
