BEE is designed for a hosting environment.  The concept of a "provider" is built in from the start.  There are many functions like creating a new web site, allocating databases to it, specifying authentication tables and other settings.  These are mostly done in a BEE subsystem called CROFT (Customer Resource Online Facility Tables).  This part is not touchable by the customer.

To avoid confusion, the person who administer the BEE system and CROFT is called the "Provider", while the term "Administrator" means either the web site owner or the person who is authorised by the owner to online edit the web site and access the "Admin Site", which is an automatic utility site for every BEE Web Site (including non-BEE Portal Site).

The user list of a BEE Web Site can be stored in a database table or in a "scheme" file.  The the default admin access level is 10.  One needs to login as an admin user in order to contact the editing or administration.  If the web site does not have a login form, one can always login from the admin site (usually under "SiteURL/admin.htm").

Once in the admin site, the administrator can check the site settings, create/modify/delete users, and manage the database.
