Admin Site
Check out the Live site.
The admin site is where all aspects of Rivin.Net's maintenance can be addressed in a web browser. There are sections for users to maintain their accounts, for users to maintain their web-hosting space, for me to manage all aspects of operation, and for the submission and tracking of bugs (BugTracker).
The user account management section is composed of individual pages that are useful to account holders themselves on my website. I have accounts so that I can restrict who has access to what. I have put alot of content up on various sections of my website and by restricting access I can prevent unauthorized access. The account creation mechanism itself is fully automatic and employs Microsoft ADSI components to do the heavy lifting behind it. Once the account is created, it is populated with a few minimal groups to provide some basic access; for more in-depth access, I have to manually add it to groups through my group maintenance page. Aside from creation, there is also a deletion mechanism exposed to users to where they can delete there account if they wish. Of course there are the usual change info page as well as a change password page. To further restrict the new accounts, I have also employed a quota system not unlike what BitTorrent trackers implement. Users start off with 500 MB of quota. If they want more, they can Upload Files and for every MB uploaded, they get 25 MB of quota added to their account. As a bonus service, I have also provided a Password Safe where users can store passwords to anything and everything in a secure manner for later retreival. I use this ALL THE TIME and find it quite useful, especially since it has been optimized for mobile phone usage as well as full-blown computer usage.
The site management section is composed of a file-management interface, a user-groups membership management page, and a blog system management page.
