<h3>How do I use it:</h3>
<p>After installation you can the access admin panel to the MAMS module under the &quot;Users &amp; Groups&quot; menu.</p>
<p>You need to define at least one property.  Properties are essentially field definitions, here you specify the type of information you want to gather, and limits. i.e:  Name, Age, City, State, Country, etc.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> You do not need to define properties for username (or email address) and password, these will be provided for you.  Though you can provide properties for additional email addresses.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> New installations of the MAMS module specify that the users email address is their username (this option can be changed in the modules admin panel).  So if using this option you will not need to create an email address property.</p>
<p>Next you must create one or more user groups.  When you create a group, you are asked for a group name, a description and to associate one or more properties with that group, specify the properties sort order, and whether it is an optional, required, or hidden field.  At least one property must be associated with a group.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> Before proceeding, you should ensure that the preferences are set correctly.  Take some time here, there are numerous options.</p>
<p>Thirdly you should create some users.  Adding users is a two step process.  When creating a user you are asked for the username/email and password, and an expiry date for that user.  You then must select the groups that that user is a member of, and click &quot;Next&quot;</p>
<p><em>Note: </em>This is a labour intensive and boring process, it is easier to let users register themselves <em>(See the SelfRegistration Module)</em>, and then you can edit their group information.  but for testing purposes, please create at least one user</p>
<p>Lastly, after the system has determined all of the information fields to be presented for that user, you are presented with a form asking for all of the required user information.  Complete this form to complete the user addition</p>
<p>You are now ready to add the front end functionality to your site.  This is as simple as adding the &#123;MAMS} tag to your page or template.  You must ensure that this page is set to &quot;not cache&quot; when editing the content page(s) where the login form is displayed.  If you call the &#123;MAMS} tag from within a page template, you must disable caching on all pages that use that template.</p>
<p>Adding protected content to your CMSMS site is as simple as creating new pages of type &quot;Protected Content&quot; and selecting which user groups (or all) that are allowed to view the page.</p>
<p><em>Optionally</em> Create another new content page of type 'Error Handler' and set the error handler to 403 error.  In the content area of that page, you should call &#123;MAMS} to display a login form on the 403 error page.</p>

<h3>Strong Passwords:</h3>
<p>This module, when freshly installed (not an upgrade) enables strong passwords.  At a minimum one upper case character and one digit are required to be in every password.  The site administrator can also specify other optional characters, one of which must be present in all passwords.</p>
