    • Help with permissions

    Posted by jtfila

    I'm having a tough time figuring out where to apply permissions for groups.

    I have 3 groups that can see pages/docs for 3 products.
    Group A can see file galleries and blog for Product A
    Group B can see file galleries and blog for Product B
    Group C can see file galleries and blog for Product C

    Each group has their own menu which lists:
    Home (a link to an HTML page about their product)
    News (a link to the Blog for that product)
    Downloads (a link to the file gallery for that product - they can only view and download)

    Everything works fine for Group A and B
    However, when group C clicks on the file gallery for their product, they get a "Permission denied. You cannot view this section"

    I can't figure out where my permissions are wrong or different. Is there a tutorial on permissions that I can use? I see the smarties page is blank.

    BTW, using 4.1

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Are your groups listed on tiki-admingroups.php? If so, can you click on the key icon to assign permissions on, for example, tiki-assignpermission.php?group=Registered? (This is the old method of permission assigning.)

    I figured out how to do the permissions the "new" way, but I still have the problem where the one group can't see the file galleries that they should.

    I can't edit that previous post, getting an error:
    Notice: this variable may not be empty: $_POST%22thread_sort_mode%22


    I figured out how to do the permissions the "new" way, and I figured out the file gallery problem in my original post. The option "visible to non-admins" was unchecked!

    Jeff, this will not be the technical answer you are searching for, but when I ran into 4.1 FG permission/access confusion--not resolvable in object permissions, category perms, Group perms, or the pull down permissions in the galleries edit menu (which I decided was the cause of my FG perm/access woes), I deleted the gallery and started over. That did the job for me but then again I did not have any files saved to the gallery in question.

    good luck
