Hi Team,

I would like to confirm the ACL behavior in EasyBlog for user assigned with multiple groups. Which rules will apply?

- most restrictive (OFF/ NO overrides ON/YES)
- Enablement (ON/YES overrides OFF/ NO)
- Lower the group level (eg: Register User will override Author's Group)
- Higher the group level (eg: Author will override Register User's group)
- Others?

I know in Komento, most restrictive rule applies which OFF will always override ON option for different user group. How about the EasyBlog's ACL? Since I need to desire the group structure for specific categories.

Further, May I know if there is a plan to have category control (access/ edit) down to user ID level? (eg: only Peter have write access to Category - "Site news", other authors have no rights to post in this specific category); this is one most important feature in K2, but seems the EasyBlog do not have this control.

Please advise. Thanks.
As long as the rule is off, then DENY always wins regardless of your group

Thanks Mark, how about my second question "Feature request":

Hello,

As for the feature request, currently we don't have any plan for it but we will discuss with our developer and see how it goes. Thanks for the suggestion. By the way, you might want to add your feature request in our new Voices page here: http://stackideas.com/voices .

Hi Mark and Nick,

I've tested it and confirm for EasyBlog, Yes overrides No. Which is different from Komento.

Thanks.

Hello Alfred,

Yes, but we're going to change it to "No" wins all because that is how Joomla works too

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your heads up. Please remember to let us know (in changelog) when this new rules apply. I still suggest to add an option "Inherit" just like Joomla, or else it will be VERY hard to manage ACL... Thanks

Thanks for the heads up on this Alfred. I will see what we can do in EasyBlog 4.0. It's our experiment platform now. If it works out well, we'll re-apply what we did for EasyBlog 4.0 everywhere else.
