Hi, I have just installed Simple Groupware for our organization. Have now few questions for starters.
1) How do I prevent anonymous users from accessing Simple Groupware? Now, if I type the address pointing the folder where I have SG installed, it goes in as an anonymous user. The anonymous user can see our files etc. What I have to change so that only the login screen appears?
2) We need to exchange and comment lots of pdf-files, Somewhere in the features there was that pdf preview is available. I uploaded a pdf file, but it says Cannot create preview for pdf. How can I change that?
3) There are many modules we don't need at the moment. How can I make them inactive to all users?
Simple Groupware looks very good although. I think there is a certain level of learning in how to use it. Once you get familiar with the system, I think this would suit fine to our organization's needs. So thanks a lot!
1) To disable anonymous access, select the Workspace/System folder and click "change setup settings" in the panel to the right. Scroll down to "enable anonymous access", remove the tick, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save.
2) I have never had this error. Is it possible that your PDFs contain scanned page images but no text? The reviewer could always download the PDF, view it locally and type the review into SG. Note that the preview in SG shows only the text content of the PDF but not the page layout or images.
3) Simply delete the folders ("modules") that you don't want. Alternatively, if you remove the permissions for a folder, then only admin can see it. The documentation explains how to direct users to a particular folder automatically when they log in:
>> After the login, users get redirected to their home directory under "Workspace / Personal folders". To change the redirection, simply set a new folder id under "Workspace / Organization / Users -> Tab: Account -> Field: Home folder id". <<
Note that each folder is just an instance of a particular type of module. When you create a new folder, you also select the module that it uses according to the type of folder you require.

I encoutered another problem concerning Spreadsheets. When I start editing a new sheet, there is a html 500 error in the data area. I think there might be some problem with dir/file permission on the server side. In general, directories have permission 755 and files have 644. Is this enough? Does the Spreadsheet use some cgi or .pl files?

1. it is moved to Workspace/System/Trash 2. all access rights for the folder (and its subfolders) are removed
To retrieve the folder, log in as admin and move it from the trash folder to the new location (see below for instructions).
To change the access rights for the folder, select the folder then select "Folder > Rights edit" in the top menu bar and set the access rights as required. If there are subfolders then select "Folder > Apply rights to subfolders" in the top menu bar.
