NOW Access Management System (
AMS) is available for
D7. Installation is very simple – just upload and press install button :)
There are new ajax usability interface and several new small features.
Access Management System (AMS) helps you to get rid of annoying
spammers, scammers and all the
undesirable users/visitors. You can ban such customers by profile's ID, visitors by IP address or country location. You can also track users with the same IP address or members who create several profiles on your site.
You can limit access to your site for special users or group of users via Dolphin administration panel. Group of users can be presented by the whole country or by the list of IP addresses.
AMS system blocks users by:
- User's ID (Profile ID)
- IP address. System will automatically save member's IP address by every login.
- Country name.
How to block member by ID:
You need to go to
AMS administration panel and check member which you want to ban and press
block/deblock button. Also you can use
Filter if you want to find a member. You just need to put value to the filter text box and press
search. Member will be found by using the next fields:
NickName, Email, Headline, DescriptionMe, Tags, DateReg, DateLastLogin, IP address.
How to block by IP:
You may easily add
IP address, interval of IP addresses, IP address with mask which are separated with
(,) or
(;) signs. You can create the list of blocked IP addresses and paste them into the text area in
AMS -> Tools -> Blocked IP-s and Intervals section.
For example:
- Simple IP address: 128.145.50.9
- Interval of IP addresses: 128.145.50.9-128.145.50.18
- IP addresses with mask: 128.145.50.9/19
How to block visitors by country location:
There is a list of countries in
AMS -> Tools -> Total Blocked Countries section. In order to
Block/DeBlock visitors from the whole country you need to select a county and press save button. Also you can see in
Members Area real
(physical) country and Profiles member's country. For example, if member creates profile and chooses country
USA but he/she is from
Nigeria, you will be able to track it via AMS admin panel.
Also now you may change ban messages for members via AMS -> Settings section. You can add redirect link for any of 3 existed ban situation (banned by IP, banned by ID, banned by Country). If you set redirect link, visitor would be redirected to this link during
1.5 seconds after he/she has seen ban message.
If you click on
Members groups from one IP link you can see the number of users which have the same IP addresses.
There are several popup tool tips in all AMS administration's sections. They help you to understand what you need to do with this section.
