To use the Lasso file tags with your account:

• You must be using a virtual host "eg, www.mydomain.com" rather than a standard testing url (such as host.forest.net/~yourusername/) We can set up a staging domain for customers who are still testing and programming their sites -- just ask!

If you haven't already, you'll need to create a security group in the Lasso Manager under Security: Manage Groups. Take note of the group administrator name and password you choose, as you'll need it later for your code.

In the "Security: File Tags" area of Lasso Manager, enable the appropriate file tags for your group. Permissions needed for file uploads might typically include create, move, copy, delete, and import. If you're just starting out or testing, you may want to enable all permissions.

You'll want to surround any lasso file tags with an [inline] specifying the group administrator name and password.

For example, if I've created a group named "fileaccess" with a group administrator username and password of "master" and "test" respectively and assigned all permissions to the fileaccess group in Lasso Manager, I would then modify my upload page as follows:

[inline: -username='master',-password='test'] ..file tag operations here... [/inline]

Some scripts are pre-programmed to let you specify a name and password for the file tags, generally stored in variables near the top of the file.
