Administration and security features of CM Studio 2012 /CE-SERVER include:

• Single installation, multiple portals - Using CM Studio 2012 .MULTISITE extension module, CM Studio 2012 supports multiple portals or web sites using one single database and one central administration interface. CM Studio 2012 /CE-SERVER installed on a web server can support multiple web sites through a single hosting account, ideal for providing sub-hosting services to memberships or for organizations providing departmental web sites. You simply require for each sub-site a unique license key.
  
  CM Studio ADD-ON Modules can be licensed individual for each sub-site based on the individual demand.

• Host and Administrator accounts - Separating host from administrator accounts allows for efficient administration. Logging in as Host, equal to the master admin account, allows users to manage settings related to site hosting, including database connection, language support, demo period/expiration dates etc. The master admin can access a list of all hosted sites and their individual hosting information, and can edit, modify, or delete a specific site. Logging in as a regular Administrator or Operator lets users manage their own site by editing, modifying, or deleting their site settings and the site content but does not provide access to other sites operating under the same host.

• Security roles and protected content - Administrators can define and assign roles for different user groups such as registered users, subscribers, content providers, affiliates etc. They can then grant access and editing rights for each group. Rights can be assigned to an entire site, a single page, or a specific section. Individual users may belong to more than one group. Administrators can also establish separate password-protected areas on their web site to control access.
