Permission Problem

Hello,
I think this is a serious problem, you should know that we have a few components that use the com_user and that override permission: ACL MANAGER.

The problem is simple, I have set a new Joomla Group Called: CLIENTS. This group have permissions for CREATE, EDIT OWN, CHANGE STATE OWN, DELETE OWN.

There are 2 problems when I GIVE permissions to EDIT and when i don't giver permissions to edit all.

WITHOUT EDIT (only edit own)
- the user cannot auto publish its own items and also the versions have to approved by an admin. I Still want for the user to auto-publish its own items and its own versions.

WITH EDIT
- the user CAN auto-publish but it can edit ALL ITEMS in the site. it is not supposed to.

In j1.5 I always set EDIT OWN, CREATE WON, PUBLISH OWN, DELETE OWN without any problem.

I am doing something wrong or it is suppose to work like this?

Also with the EDIT permision when an new version is submiuted and the aprroved the DESCIPTION field in not PASSED to the news version.

About permission edit.state.own, i tested it in both frontend/backend and it seems to work,

please check 3 things:
- Global permissions edit.state.own of the user-group

- if your user belongs to 2 groups and you have denied in one of these 2 groups the edit.state.own

- if your have denied to edit.state.own for the user-group(s) in item's main category or to any parent category of item's main category

Regards

Thanks for testing. I have this all messed up. Thanks. Probably the 2 groups thing.

For J2.5 ACL be careful to do minimal changes

1. Set top-level permissions for users group

2. Avoid setting permissions in categories,
if needed set only for top level or for "special/featured" categories e.g. to exclude categories "Frontpage", "left slideshow" etc, also these categories should be marked as unroutable in advanced Route plugin (in future will make it easier)

3. Be careful of user belongs into 2 groups,
to use 2 groups, SET in one "inherit" aka = soft-deny or soft-allow
and then in second group set allow or deny (THIS second user group can be used to change default behavior)

4. Get some sleep you will think more clearly, ACL has given myself many problems

5. Use coffee to be productive after having enough sleep (i try to do it myself)

hhahaa Good morning. A needed that

Thanks mate. Only you to make me laugh at this time in the morning

We will reset the permissions today and start from that.

Sleep - DONE!
Coffe - DONE!

Now back to AUTHORS.
