       SECURITY
       ------------------------------------------------------------

       All user-security is controlled by a security level and  set
       of access flags.  The security level is any number from 1 to
       64,000.  Setting  a user's security level to zero will  lock
       him or her out of the BBS. There are thirty-two access flags
       arranged  in  four sets of eight individual flags,  each  of
       which can be either ON or OFF.  An ON flag is represented by
       an "X", and an OFF flag by a "-".

       Firstly let's look at menu security. Each menu is made up of
       a number  of  lines,  each  of  which  may  have  a  command
       associated with it.  (The  structure  of menus  is explained
       fully  in the next section).  In order for a menu line to be
       visible  (and  selectable) to a user,  the  user's  security
       level  must be equal to or greater than the  security  level
       assigned to that line.  In addition to this, every flag that
       is set ON in the menu line must also be set ON in the user's
       flag setting.

       Read/Write  and Sysop access to message areas is  controlled
       in the same way. To be able to read messages in an area, the
       user  must  have not only a sufficient security  level,  but
       also  at  least the flags that are defined in  RACONFIG  for
       that  area.  Similarly,  the file area access  security/flag
       system works in the same way,  BUT the settings only  affect
       the   three   file  search  menu  functions.   To   restrict
       up/download  access to certain areas,  you will have to  use
       menu security.
