OAuth Authentication Permission

Permalink
Hello,

We are working on a project that requires to use Google Authentication to sign into the website.

With that in mind, each google user could potentially have different permissions, and at the least, the google users would be directed to a portal and not have access to certain portions of the site.

Using concrete5, what options are available to complete this task.

Thanks,

I believe most of this is built into Concrete, if you go to the Dashboard -> System & Settings -> Authentication Type there is a list of options for Authentication. Then what you would need to do is under Dashboard -> System & Settings -> Public Registration (I believe) set it to alert an admin when a user registers, and that user would need to put the new user into the correct User Groups for the site. Then you can set permissions for the site as needed by User Groups.

Thanks for your reply. This may be a little in depth, but what would be the best process to clean up inactive users from a group?

Is there an activation process that is needed for this to work with a user group?

Thanks again,
Informatics
