Advanced permissions
Permalink
Hi all - the number of users for my website grew a lot recently and I need to better organize Groups and Users (that is companies and single students respectively). That's why I decided to enable advanced permissions, as I need to set permissions for web pages for an entire group or for a single user only. After enabling advanced permissions, it turns out that I can set permissions for a web page ONLY for GROUPS, not for SINGLE USERS.
Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?
To be clearer: if I have a user group A with three users: user A1 , A2 and A3, I can set "read permissions on a web page only for Group A, and not only for user A2, for example.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Only works on Groups not individual users as far as I know.
Thanks. Then Concrete5 documentation is misleading, as they clearly state that "Advanced permissions allow any combination of users and groups to be assigned ... page specific access".

wait... what?
with concrete5 you can use groups or users alternatively anywhere you pick permissions. So you can have Group 1 and User A and set the ability to read, write, admin, etc a page to either the group or user.
What you can't do is build excluding joins. So you can make a page accessible to both user A and group 1, but not everyone in group 1 who isn't also in group 2... permissions are always inclusive.

Yep you are right, I just saw it.

Just checked... never noticed the 'users' tab when adding permissions. DOH!
