elentz Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I have web page that I have full access to the use of, but not anything else(meaning I cannot change the pages). This page and the links and dropdown and such I can use but I cannot change. actually on a phone system. Here is the wierd question. Could a web page be built on a different server that could manipulate pages and show the output of the phone system pages? For example I have pages a, b, c, d, e on the phone system. As an administrator of the phone system I know how and what to do on those pages. For a user I might only want him to access and manipulate pages a,d,e. and all that links within that server and its pages. Is this even possible?

mikesta707 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Your question is kind of unclear, but it sounds like you want to build a permissions system. If this is right, than there are plenty of tutorials on the internet. a quick google search turned up this: http://www.tutorials-expert.com/tutorial/4767/Permission-System.html page, which seems like a pretty good tutorial. If this is not what you are asking for, can you explain a little better Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/184460-this-is-a-wierd-question-but-here-goes/#findComment-973749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elentz Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 I knew I probably wasn't asking it right. There is a phone system that I install that has a web based interface to program it. I cannot change the pages on that system at all. A single administrative login allows anyone to change anything. As an installer I have seen many bad things happen when some users get in there and start poking around. I guess what I am asking for is some kind of "Front End" to this programming interface that would only allow the logged in user to go to certain areas of the program. I would host the pages they use and in the background the output from my pages would connect to the system and automatically manipulate the original pages on the phone system. I guess it would be something like hacking with my own pages. I would need to be able to see what is going on in the original pages. Would it be possible to have a page show another page but to not allow certain areas of the page to be used as a link to a url or vice versa? Sorta like a transparent screen over the page with areas where the original links are not accessable?

mikesta707 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Oh ok, well that would depend on how the system is set up, but you can just make a page that lets people edit certain stuff, and use information from that page to post to the actual editing page. However, without seeing how the system is set up, this is more or less a shot in the dark Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/184460-this-is-a-wierd-question-but-here-goes/#findComment-973765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elentz Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 It probably is a real shot in the dark. I don't have any access to the actual pages other than them being available at an IP addy for us to program with. I would have to host a system on my servers that would connect to each of the individual systems. Probably not worth the effort. I put a request into the phone system manufacturer, frankly I am surprised they haven't done some kind or permissions system. Thanks for the chat.
