HyperAdmin

Woozle: HyperAdmin

This is my attempt to create a general user administration system for use by other web-based applications (mostly mine) which might need one.

Tables

• "K" indicates Primary Key fields
• "#" indicates autonumbered fields

Main data tables

• users -- users with access to the admin system

#K	ID	int(4)
	Name	varchar(32)
	Pass	text
	Email	varchar(128)	email address for password confirmation and such
	WhenGood	timestamp	when user last logged in
	WhenBad	timestamp	when user last attempted to log in but failed (bad password)
	QtyFails	int(4)	number of failed login attempts since last success

• groups -- each group has a role to play, and each role requires a particular set of privileges

#K	ID	int(4)
	Name	varchar(32)
	Descr	text	text describing the purpose of this group

• privs -- particular privileges; meaning is defined in code

#K	ID	int(4)
	Name	varchar(32)
	Descr	text	text describing this permission

Collection/link tables

• users_x_groups -- users in each group / groups to which each user belongs

K	ID_User	int(4)	users.ID
K	ID_Group	int(4)	groups.ID

• groups_x_privs -- privileges each group has / groups having a particular privilege

K	ID_Group	int(4)	groups.ID
K	ID_Priv	int(4)	privs.ID
