Hi all,

I just recently purchased you EasyBlog application. Once installed I noticed all my Joomla users were able to write a blog in EasyBlog. Is their anyway I can limit what users can Post Blogs in easy Blog. In core joomla itself, I created a category Blog and I created a group called Bloggers, and assigned users to this group (that is, Bloggers), they were able to create blogs. Can I limit my joomla users in the same way in EasyBlog with out deleting their joomla user account if I exclude them from blogging in EasyBlog. I would like users belonging to certain group and of course superusers to be able to use EasyBlog and no other registered users.

Does this make sense? Right know all my joomla registered users can have access to the EasyBlog application. Don't want to delete them, because then their Joomla accounts will be deleted, which I don't want. Any ideas.

Hi Rick,

I am sorry for the late reply
You can use EasyBlog ACL. You can find this settings in Backend > EasyBlog > Settings > ACL > (usergroup) > Write Entry. Please give this a try and see if this resolves your issue. If not, perhaps you can provide us with backend access and FTP access so that we can assist you further.

Please advise.
Thanks.

Mohd Yasser,

Thank you for your response to my post and I made the corrections I needed. However, if I may ask a follow up question. If I change a permission for a group in the ACL for example the "write entry" for creating a blog. Would this change be inherited by any subgroups under a particular group where a permission change was made. That is, does any sub-group of a group inherit the permission of its parent, like in core Joomla. Or will I have to make the change individually in all subgroups. Thank you.

I believe you need to change individual settings for each subgroup.

If you have anymore question, please don't hesitate to ask us.
Hope this will help.
