# update-webmin(8)

update-webmin -- Adds or removes a module from the webmin ACL **update-webmin** add modulename **update-webmin** remove modulename **update-webmin** help This script should be run by webmin modules to add or remove themselves from  the access control list.  It behaves differently based on the operation  requested. \
 **add** A file */etc/webmin/update.conf* is read which contains a list of users who  should initially be allowed to access the module. This file has no fixed  format, the only requirement is that user names be seperated by whitespace. Further access control can be done by the administrator through the **webmin** user configuration applet.  A module should call this in its' postinst script. \
 **remove** The module is removed from all users ACLs.  A module should call this in its'  prerm script.\
