While every visitor is allowed to write new annotations, only the administrator is able to manage them. Annotate provides the administrator a possibility to delete existing Annotations.
In the configuration file, the administration mode is configured
by the AdminUsername
and
AdminPassword
options.
The administration can log into the administration mode by
appending ?action=login
to the URL of an Annotate
document (e.g., http://localhost/cgi-bin/annotate?action=login).
Annotate then asks for user name and password.
In administration mode, a "Delete" link is shown after each annotation. Clicking on this link removes the annotation.
