 23 posts --- Location: n.a. | 06.02.2013 12:47User Rights #2 - Read AccessHello Geoff, again i have a question concerning user rights. I would like to have 2 users which should only have the ability to read and print issue overviews but not to modify them or to create new issues. Is this possible in any way ? Regards Rolf |

Probably more than the 'Public' user group (and possibly more than 'Registered') but less than 'Administrator'. As an example you might not give the group 'create (issue) permission'. Need to watch the situation where a user is in several user groups, and which has 'superiority'. There was an article in 'Joomla Magazine' a few months ago that covered ACL groups that you might find interesting to read, if you haven't already. It is possible that you may discover a few 'unknown' features (i.e. bugs  ) in your tests, mainly as I said because it's not something that I have played around with a lot.In theory it is certainly possible to achieve what you desire using user groups and ACL privs. Regards Geoff www.macrotoneconsulting.co.uk |
