ACL on one category

Ok, I want to separate users by category.

So I create two groups, one "editor-base" and one son "editor-this-one-category". "editor-base" can access the backend and see the item list, but anything else for now. I go to "this-one-category" and give permissions to "editor-this-one-category" to create, edit and edit-own.

But he can`t. He doesn´t have the "+ item" button. What I´m missing?

Joomla 3.1.5
Flexi 2.1.1 r1793

Hello

this is a tested functionality,
so most likely you need to configure the ACL properly

i would suggest that you read again Joomla ACL (i have myself being confused a few times , and read docs and study code numerous times)

but i am willing to help you !! (help you in regards to ACL i mean)

1. first check if user belongs to more than 1 usergroups , he may be denied the privilege in one of the user groups,

2. if user only belongs to a single usergroup then post then go to FLEXIcontent types and verify that the user group has the privilege "create items"

3. if that is ok, then please post a picture of the ACL permission you see in the category (also check is the category published (just in case) )

Regards

Hi! Thanks for the help

- 1 usergroup
- Changed the permission from his type to "create items" (I didn´t have this) And even I have Permite submission "any author"

- Category permissions
create Allowed
delete Not allowed
delete own Not allowed
edit Allowed
edit own Allowed
edit state Not allowed
edit state own Not allowed

This new usergroup is son of Public, not Author, so I can control that he can only edit the categories I need.

Flexicontent permissions for that category:

Hello

please post a short but descriptive question

e.g. i want the user to be able to submit his content and be able to publish,

but not to be able to publish in category CCC

-- but note that your question is same as for Joomla ACL, just we have 1-2 more privileges, e.g. edit.state.own

Regards

I want a usergroup where they can create items for one category and not others.

Hello

1. make your usergroup AA a child of "Registered" usergroup,
... because by default does not have "create" privilege ! (due to "Soft Deny")
* Soft Deny is when you set to inherit but parent does not say ALLOW or DENY

2. Goto to the category you want , and give your usergroup AA the privilege you want (SET to "ALLOW"),
e.g. create, edit.own (=edit items i owned)

-- all privileges you do not give will be "Soft Deny" due to inherit from usergroup "registered"
-- note that all children categories will also be effected, so no need to make further configuration

Regards
