    HI ,

    I need some help on TikiWiki Categories. Basically I wnat to have two sets of pages SET A, and Set B, and Groups user GRP A, and GRP B

    -Set ASet B
    GRP ARRW
    GRP BRWR


    I would like to set the above permissions for pages belonging to Set A or Set B. So I created two Categories Cat A, and Catb

    I tried applying the following permissions for Cat A
    tiki_p_admin categories to Grp A and
    tiki_p_view_categories to Grp B
    and for Pages in Set A, I set the category to Cat A.

    Now it always gives me the rights to edit, no matter what.

    Please help me with this. Note that the group has been given Editor level rights

    Also if i do not give p_view rights then it does not show the page at all.

    p_admin does not result in any changes

    First, a small detail: you say you have given tiki_p_admin_categories to group A for Category A, but you table shows "R" (read?) only for that category/group. Is this just a typo? Seems like the R and RW in the top row of the table should be reversed, or else the description in your sentences changed.

    Anyway, I generally don't use categories to set permissions; I usually set them for structures or else on an individual page basis. But my experience (in the past several Tiki versions) is similar to yours. I noticed that if I set specific edit permissions for a group of pages, I must also set view permissions for those pages, even though the global (group) view permission should already allow them to be viewed. For example, at a Tiki 1.9.4 site I allow Anonymous viewers to see wiki pages (tiki_p_view). But when I set (by structure) edit permissions for some pages for the Registered group, no group could then see the pages. I had to also set tiki_p_view for Anonymous for all the pages where tiki_p_edit was set for Registered. This is definitely a bug. I filed a bug report back in May but haven't seen anything happen on it.

    For now, try assigning tiki_p_view for Anonymous or whatever "bottom-most" group should be able to view the pages, for all pages where you set the edit permission.
