Hello!
The category field in the composer ( ea-composer-container-select2-catid-container) shows all categories irrespective of Joomla user/content category permissions access, thereby giving access to registered users and authors to categories reserved to higher access. How can I enforced the Joomla content/category permission access in EasyArticles?
Looking forward to your reply,
Thanks & regards,
Agnes
Hey Agnes,
How long do you think it will take to fix it?
The fix will most probably be included in the next release, but we do not have an estimated release date yet.
The Access "select-access-container" is opened to all levels...For example a user with author access can access all access levels... even higher than their own...
It appears the same behavior exist in Joomla's own composer(http://take.ms/4Vr29).

Hi Agnes,

Are you referring to the new post composer, or new post template composer?

In any case, I am able to reproduce the issue on both composers where Joomla category access is not respected. I will log this in our tracker so we can address this.

Hi Raymond,

Thanks, If I recalled, It was one of the reason why I never used EA on frontmatter and client's sites.
How long do you think it will take to fix it?
Thanks,
Agnes

One more issue on the frontend when using EA composer. The Access "select-access-container" is opened to all levels...For example a user with author access can access all access levels... even higher than their own...
