Hello,

We have tried to established the above access following the below Joomla way of doing so, but she can't open any blog post - she can see them.

We don't want her to have access to anything else at EasyBlog or any other component or the Joomla admin. How can we do this?

Create a new user group. Choose a name similar to the component and set its parent to Public.

Go to GlobalSettings->Permissions, open up the permissions for this new group, "allow" the permission "Admin Login." this allows the user to login

Go to Access Levels, edit "Special," and add this group to the Special access Level. The admin menu is shown only to those under the access level Special.

Go to the component, open up its options and go to Permissions. Open up the new group to see the permissions assigned to this group. Add the permissions you want to give to this user. If this component does not provide permissions, you can use the extension ACL Manager to add the basic permission of accessing/editing the component.

Please help us out.

Thank you,
...Finn
In each of our extensions, there is an ACL option to determine if the user is able to access parts of the administration area. What you want to do is to assign the person into a unique user group which I believe you have already done.

Then, go to Global Configuration > EasySocial and deny everything for that user group. Take a look at my screen shot here, http://take.ms/VIF5O

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your reply.

I already set the EasyBlog ACL before I posted the present support ticket. Please see the attached screenshot.Please let me know if these settings are wrong or some ACL is missing.

Thank you.

Hi Finn,
I tested the permission settings with Joomla's instruction and it's working fine.
May I know which user group specifically you are trying to configure the permission settings? I can check the configuration for you and let you know what's wrong.
Just to confirm, you want to allow the user to access and write blog posts only correct(http://take.ms/AmxYo)?
Can you include the user's account credentials at the site detail's optional info as well so I can test the permission configuration?

Hey Finn,
You have to turn on this option in EasyBlog ACL setting for that user group if you want to allow that user group to open/edit other blog posts in the backend(http://take.ms/HmBD8).
Hope this helps.
