Re: Categories vs Categorized

posts: 54 Germany

Hi alltogether,

I hope, not to confuse you more and certainly don't can give a garranty, that it's right, what I'm saying wink. But I'll try to offer an explanation, how I understand this:

  • tiki_p_view_categories -> means, that user can see the categories, which were created normally by you as admin. For example, you have categories "Private" and "Public", so user with this permission can view / let list this two categories - let's say, he can see the category-items!

  • tiki_p_view_categorized -> with this permission user is allowed to see items, which are assigned to a category. For example wikipages in the category "Private". So user with only this permission can only view the categorized wiki pages, but cannot browse the category "Private" itself. So it's a permission to see items in a category = categorized items not category-items.

  • tiki_p_edit_categorized -> it's similar to tiki_p_view_categorized, only with the difference, that this permission gives the right not to view, but to edit a categorized item, e.g. a wiki page in the category "Private". It also doesn't touch the permission to view the category itself, so it's a permission for a item in a category, a categorized item, not a category-item.

  • tiki_p_admin_categories -> this is the right, to admin the categories, to admin the category-items. With this permission you can create new categories, assign the individual category-permissions to a category, and select, which items (pages, articles, trackers, ..) are included in which category.


Note:

  • A user with tiki_p_view_categories is allowed to see the list of categories (certainly dependent on the individual rights assigned to each one) and can assign items (pages, articles, trackers, ..) to one of the categories of the list. So he can assign items to categories, means he can categorize items.

  • It doesn't touch the permission, if he is allowed to view this categorized items (tiki_p_view_categorized) or if he may edit them (tiki_p_edit_categorized).


Did you understand, what I mean ?
