    access level for admin modules

    Posted 13 years 5 months ago
    • I'm not seeing the access level having any affect on modules for Mission Control (1.72 on Joomla 1.7).

      I realize that "public" and "registered" can't be applied to admin templates as they are to site templates, but they can be used. AdminPraise2 (while keeping the standard public/registered/special verbiage) assigned the three access levels to "manager," "admin," and "super."

      It certainly interests me to have some mechanism for limiting certain admin modules to specific groups or levels. Are you able to leverage the "access" field so that it has meaning within Mission Control?

    • The access levels affecting the menus should be the same as the default joomla as that code was copied from there. i will have to investigate if this is not occurring. I really only tested as SuperAdmin

    • Andy,

      I see that it is working. I was switching between the three pre-installed options (public/registered/special) and found no difference. But that makes sense as anyone with access to the backend will belong to each of the three. So the key, of course, is that I have to create new access levels that will segment the backend users. Then I can restrict an admin module from displaying to a certain group.

      I just added an access level with an assignment that excluded some back-end users, and I see the module is not showing for them - so access levels are working as expected.

      Sorry to sound an alarm.
