    • Question about permission levels to User groups

    Posted by Vytenius posts: 8

    Hello, I got a problem
    Accidently I've created a level of permissions to user group in Tiki wiki 1.7.5.
    I mean permission levels are editors, registered, basic, admin.

    Now I want to delete but i can't find such an option.

    So how to delete an unwished level of permissions ?

    Thanx for hep 😊 😉

    Hi
    I hope someone else can tell us different but I think you may have to go into the database for that. I did just look at my 1.7.6 site and see NO WAY to do it from within tikiwiki. I did have this prob before but never solved it as I upgraded.
    Sorry I did give more of an answer here but decided I my be wrong so I removed it.
    sooooo...
    I would WAIT for a second opinion!

    Hi Vytenius,
    I'm not a big permissions tweaker, but it seems pretty obvious that there's no way to remove levels from Tiki interface indeed. I agree this is not very "catholic" (does it mean the same thing in English?😯 ) behavior.

    Hi, well I will take Chealer9's wisdom and believe that you have to go DB route.
    Here is what I did, but if you want the easy way I would just go to step two and forget that the level is there.

    1. I recreated your problem.

    • create test level
    • assigned perm to level
    • assigned level to annon


    Then I looked in DB. The only refference I could find of this level was in the users_permissions.

    2. To make sure there were going to be no loose ends in the DB,

    • I went back to the Assign permissions to group: page
    • in the bottom listing of perms to levels i check "All" so I could see every relationship.
    • I switched any perms I had made from test level back to the default.
    • I clicked update.


    3. Now I headed back to the DB

    • Looked in the users_permissions table
    • Deleated the row "test level" (prior to step two there were more references to the "test level)


    On my return to the site every thing was just like normal.
    Happy ending.

    I am sure this is a common booboo, any one have a better solution ?
