+However, views with joined tables are not insertable ([see issue 907](https://github.com/mevdschee/php-crud-api/issues/907) ). As a workaround, use the property ***loginTable*** to set a different reference table for login. The **usersTable** will still be set to the normal, insertable users table.

 The Basic type supports a file (by default '.htpasswd') that holds the users and their (hashed) passwords separated by a colon (':').
