color:#1F497D'>I tend to agree with Shai here. It’s not a great
practice by any stretch of the imagination. HOWEVER, I’ve never met
a bad idea that I didn’t like. How about setting up a script to run
on cron to periodically change the email and password back to what you want it to.
Or you can probably set up some kind of an action to do it, where whenever a
user gets edited, change the email and password to whatever you wanted.
So try as they might, every time they edit the user, the action runs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The whole idea is asking for trouble.<br>
<br>
I don't even want to think about how to answer this question because this is
such a bad idea. I'd tell the folks that Drupal simply doesn't do this.<br>
<br>
Maybe a single userid/pw can be encoded into the video files themselves? <br>
<br>
Is the video file being streamed from your site or a third party service?<br>
<br>
I'm sure someone else will have an idea how to help. But I'd recommend against
ideas that get Drupal itself to hide the account page for a logged in user.
Among other bad consequences, you'd be defeating a huge amount of Drupal
functionality and crippling the site for future use-cases.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<br>
<br>
I work for a college (drupal 6). They want all of the nursing students to be<br>
able to login using the same username and password that will allow them to<br>
access only nursing tagged content (video pages). I got the access issue to<br>
work with tac-lite. But have had no luck in researching my problem.<br>
<br>
My problem is:<br>
<br>
How do I restrict a username (ex. Nursing) from accessing the<br>
user/(number)/edit and going to the Account Information section where they<br>
can change the email and reset the password? I don't want one student to be<br>
able to block out 100+ fellow students. That just seems like asking for<br>
trouble.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Holly Ferree<br>
<br>
PS On a related note...Is there a good module to play movie files or do I<br>
even need one with Drupal 6?<br>
<br>
