Hi, Joe.

When adding a message group, an ID will be automatically assigned to the
group. Let's say you add a fidonet group and it's assigned an ID of 5.

When you go into the message base editor and pull up settings for a
particular message base, there will be a few settings concerning ACS.
Generally, you'll want to control access to these groups by security level,
so you might assign a Post ACS of "s20" so that only Regular Users can post
to this message base. But you can also add a "g" parameter to specify which
message group this message base belongs to. So, to allow all users to see
this message base in the previously-defined fidonet message group, you'd
assign the message base a List ACS of "s10g5" (5 being the ID assigned per
the previous paragraph). To allow all regular users to read the posts in this
message base, but only if they're current message group is fidonet, assign a
Read ACS of "s20g5". And so forth.

File bases and groups work the same way, but the letter used to denote
membership in a file group is "z".

Jeff.
