Hi,
I'm doing some work for a client who uses ezPublish. I've never used it before and am finding it quite confusing! One thing in particular I'm confused about is the difference between admin, plain, plain_admin. The url for the login page I was given ends in "...index.php/plain_admin" - am I going to have full access to the CMS features so I can carry out my work? or should I be logging in as a full admin. Please help!!
Thanks,Cliff.

Hi Cliff
This sounds like your customer has used the plain package. That means the public site is under the url .../index.php/plain and the admin site is under .../index.php/plain_admin. I am actually not sure what the .../index.php/admin url is for, as it is usually not used. I assume that this is just a remainder of the installation, but as I am not sure whether it safe to remove, better just ignore it.
By the way - depending on what login the user gave you you still might not have full access rights. If you log in as 'admin' you have them for sure as this is the default admin name. But if you log in as someone else, it depends on the permission the admin gave to your login.

Hi all,
Maybe eZ-crew can give us some clarification here? I have the same questions and would like to know what you can remove and what you should keep. As eZ is using the override paradigm quite a lot I sometimes find it hard to know which directories are safe to delete and which must be left alone.
(I didn't ask this myself as I wasn't sure if I had missed some basic stuff or not... But as Claudia doesn't know either it feels safe to ask :) )
Cheers,

Thanks for the reply Claudia, I'll get on to them and find out if I have full admin rights.

I deleted the /settings/siteaccess/admin directory without any problems, but after upgrading eZ Publish this folder had been recreated. I decided not to bother anymore...
