+If your project's URL is '''http://a.b.c/test''',
+then the URL of the admin web interface is '''http://a.b.c/test_ops'''.
+The directory containing the admin pages is '''~/projects/test/html/ops/'''.
+
+Because the admin interface lets you do things like
+see user email addresses, it's extremely important that it be secure.
+There are two levels of protection:
+
+== Protection by .htaccess ==
+
+When a project is created, a file '''html/ops/.htaccess''' is created
+that disallows access to the admin web interface.
+You can use '''htpasswd''' to create a '''.htpasswd''' file containing
+credentials for yourself.
+
+== Project-defined protection policy ==
+
+The project-specific config file '''html/project/project.inc'''
+contains a function '''auth_ops()''' that defines
+a project-specific policy for protecting the admin interface.
+By default, no access is allowed;
+you'll need to edit this function to specify your project's policy.
+
+Existing projects: look at '''html/project.sample/project.inc''',
+copy the '''auto_ops()''' function into your project.inc file,
+and edit it to specify your project's policy.
