Hi there,

I have been having some issues with the ACL for the blog. I have 2 people to whom I gave Administrator and Publisher accesses. When they click on the easyblog to create a new post, they have the message that they are not authorized to access it. I had to turn them into super administrators.
As administrators, shouldn't they be able to create posts without setting them up in your ACL?

Regards,

Frederique
Hello Frédérique,

Ah, I see. I think there's some confusions here. There's 2 types of ACL around and I will just briefly describe them below (If you are still stuck let me know)

1. EasyBlog ACL
This is the internal ACL that is used within EasyBlog only. It's sole purpose is to manage the user's access on the front end (Mostly)

2. Backend ACL (Joomla based)
This is another ACL that is inherited with Joomla and the reason that we split this is because we do not want the users to get mixed up over the ACL of EasyBlog and Joomla's ACL (They are 2 separate acls). You can access this by clicking on the "Options" button at the top of the toolbar and it's behavior is like the rest of Joomla core extensions.

hey frederique,
in fact that's the default behaviour, you can control the whole rights management in the ACL section and the system is not really worrying about the type - so for instance you could give a registered user more privileges than a publisher etc. it was built this way to give you a maximum in flexibility so that you cannot only handle the basic joomla groups but in fact every group you create your own with a huge amount of options in that one central place.

hope that helps and have a nice day

Hello Alex,

I reverted one of the 2 persons in questions back to administrator and publisher. I can login from the front end with her credential, but when I try to add a post from the backend, I have the message saying that she is not authorized. I checked the ACL for a publisher in Easyblog and all are "yes". So unless I don't understand how it works, there seems to be a problem. I would appreciate your help.

Thanks

Frédérique

Hi there,

It works when logged in by the front end. It does not work when logged in by the back end. At least that is my experience.

Regards,

Frédérique

Hello Mark,

It is working now. I thought that because publishers can create and publish in Joomla, it would just be the same by default in Easyblog.

Thank you for your help.
