The site administrator is meant for administrative purposes, that means
everything that is not a part of displaying / updating / editing maps
(roughly speaking). You will create users and groups in the Site
Administrator, but you will use MapGuide Studio (or WebStudio?) to set
access permissions on layers and maps (right click the layer/map).<br>
<br>
To customize the AJAX viewer, you can manipulate the templ files found
in <br>
C:\Program Files\MapGuideOpenSource\WebServerExtensions\www\viewerfiles<br>
<br>
However, if you just disable the parts of the viewer that you dislike
(such as the toolbar, legend, etc.) and place the viewer frame in a
layout where you provide the missing parts, you will have an easier
time upgrading.<br>
<br>
If you can live with the existing toolbars and such, perhaps you can
just provide alternative stylesheets and place the viewer in a frame
with some custom logo.<br>

I did manage to setup the basic web map. I do believe the best way to
go would be to upload the shp files to POSTGIS. Postgresql also hase a
command to export the data back to shp. Some coding probaly required..
Question: what is the purpose of the site adminsitrator function, will
I not be able to use that to handle the access levels.
Also note that the data will be updated from time to time, which will
be easier if in a databse.
I will be trying to setup the PostGIS links tomorrow.
Customizing the default AJAX viewer screen, what is involved and which
files do I need to edit??

There is write support, but not create support (as far as I know).
I
believe that you would have to maintain "dummy" shapefiles
(possibly one
per geometry type), and on download request copy to a temporary
location, apply a schema and populate using the Feature Service, then
zip them together and provide the user a link. It's not easy but
