what are they for, beyond accessing or not accessing folders in the server?

Can they be used for, per se, sessions for php, asp.net, etc.?

well if you make password protected directories you can make users, then allow them access to that directory with a username and password (IE users and groups)

so, they would be able to sign in using internet explorer's login window thing, and then see a directory listing.

Ok, but i'm talking about more than just that.

Perhaps I'll attempt to rephrase.

Can the users/groups in the abyss console configuration be accessed and used as sessions by scripts on the server?

This could be done but in such a case, it's better to have your own user/groups system in yoru scripts. This is what scripts such as PhpBB do (they implement their own user/group policy/validation/storage/session system).

The user/groups feature available in Abyss Web Server is meant to quickly protect some files or directories.

If you would like to use the Abyss Web Server user accounts, you can use this
function to read the User Accounts in an Array.

Ahh.....Interesting...
I'll have to fiddle with that.

And I'll remember the difference in security too.
