How can I restrict which users can post auctions?

To configure xcAuction so only specific users can post auctions, first log into the XUD Administrator's page, and then select "Groups" from the "Maintain" menu. Click the "Caps" button next to the Everyone group. Click the "Edit" button next to "AUCPOST", fill in N in the textbox at the bottom of the list, and click Update. This prevents general users from posting.
Next, go back to the main Groups page, and either create another group, or use the PowerListers group provided, and click the "Caps" button next to it. Then add the capability "AUCPOST" by typing it into the left-hand textbox at the bottom of the list, and Y into the right, and click "Update." Now only users in this group can post auctions.
To add users to this group, go back to the main Groups page, and click the "Members" button next to the group with AUCPOST set to Y. Then add the username, full name, OR email address (only one is needed) of the user you wish to be able to post to the lower set of textboxes and click "Add." Repeat this for all the users you wish to be able to post. Now only those users listed will be able to post auctions.
You may want to remove the "Post an Auction" link from your application template and set giShowAddLink to False in APConfig.asp.
Sections 7.2.3, 7.2.4, 7.2.5 and Appendix C in the XUD Administrator's Guide have more information on groups, subscriptions, and group capabilities, which can be downloaded from our website at http://www.xcent.com/downloads/default.asp?file=25.
