Hi. I've got this site setup http://conrek.webist.no

I do not want to give client super admin as they will surely mess with things they should not. But they are 3 login users needing to see, create and edit ALL blog posts and categories.

I find no place of controlling category ACL?
Hey there,

You can check it out the ACL of the Joomla User Group of your client super admin. https://take.ms/RQ82H

Also, you can check it out the permission of the category on whether want to allow the users to access posts within the category. https://take.ms/yuL96

Thank you for taking the time to answer. Altough it dosn't seem like you read my question, since the answer does not apply for that question.

I can see that you've shown me the ACL dashboard, which I've been looking at. What I'm missing is HOW can i allow users with lower access level than SUPER ADMIN to see all the created categories in EasyBlog in the front-end category panel?

I find no place of changing anything ACL related to categories for EasyBlog.

Please. I ask again. Is it correct that I find no place for controlling ACL for categories? Or am I missing something?

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it was a public holiday for us here.

You can choose 'Assigned Joomla User Group' at the privacy setting and configure the 'Assigned Permissions' in the permission of the category for it. https://take.ms/jvsBA

Can you give it a try and see how it goes?

Hi again, and thank you for the answer.

Does this allow for OTHER THAN SUPER ADMINS to see, create, edit and delete categories regardless of who created them?

For me this seems like I have to create the categories, then assign the user groups that should have access to select them. I want a SUB SUPER ADMIN user group to be able to handle the categories without the interference of a SUPER ADMIN.

Is it possible?

If that's the case, the 'Create Category' and 'Delete Categories' ACL needs to be enabled for the user group of the SUB SUPER ADMIN first. https://take.ms/cl1Hm

So that they can able to access and manage it here on the frontend. https://take.ms/KKRNK

For your information, they are only able to manage the categories that they created unless they manage it from the backend.

Can you give it a try again and see how it goes?

Hi again,

You write: "For your information, they are only able to manage the categories that they created unless they manage it from the backend."

Initially I wrote: "I do not want to give client super admin as they will surely mess with things they should not. But they are 3 login users needing to see, create and edit ALL blog posts and categories."

Does this mean that this is not possible? They have to be backend to handle this?

If that's the answer, fine. But then I can tell this to the client and they just have to accept it. If not I would like to know how I can limit them from backend but still allow them to ADD, EDIT, DELETE all categories from front-end.

Yes, they can only manage the categories that they created on the frontend. If you want them to handle all the categories, they need to handle it from the backend.

As for manage all blog posts, it is possible on the frontend by accessing here https://take.ms/cXVCz as long as the 'Moderate All Entries In Dashboard' ACL setting is enabled for the user group of the SUB SUPER ADMIN.

Hi again, and thanks for the helping clearing this out for me.

Then I'll just have to create categories for them to solve this.

At least the rest is how I need it to be, and that's good.

Thanks again!
