Is it posible for Joomla to have diferent user groups, and to allow each group to have acces (when a user of that group has logged on) to see diferent "pages" or parts of the site, that are not accesible for other group members?
if its necesary to use a special plugin, pls post the link.
or is there just the dual class public/registered and you cant make any distinction between registered members.
well, I need to rig a main site for a main office, and 8 sub-parts for their independent local branches. at first I thought making 8 subdomains and installing 8 sites , give them the admin keys to each branch and make a safe backup of the Mysql every now and then. they want each of the branches to have a separate login acces and info. if they managed to mess it up, Id just press the reset button to the last backup copy.
then I put my thinking cap on (maybe back to front, lol) and figured that if joomla would suport multi-user groups, i could solve the issue with one site, and separate the registered users in groups, displaying only their info....
life is never easy when u depend on third parties, lol.
Im I looking at the correct answer thru ALC management? or should I turn to be a farmer and live an easier life under the sun, get a tan and all that
