[drupal-support] New sites and db prefixes

I was wondering about this, since by adding more tablespaces with a new
prefix the admin user is gone and needs to be created again. But unless
you do that, how do you limit users from editing or accessing things
outside their own scope?

That is actually not completely correct. If you look at the explanation in
your settings.php you find above your prefix setting that you can use
"arrays". That way you can have multiple sites run over your same
prefix-table and still have many different prefix-tables. Also you do not
not an installation without any prefix. Every site can have it's prefix,
only you need one prefix to be a complete database. The rest can be bits
and peaces. That way Drupal can run in a database that is used by another
script or program.

Actually all this should run out of first hand without programming
knowledge. As it is clearly explained in the handbook and settings.php
file. But sometimes, OK with me also, most of the times, it are the
easiest things that one oversees the first ;-)

Cheers,
