Show user groups different content

Is it possible to show users in user-group-1 a block of protected content called content-1 for this example and show users in user-group-2 protected content content-2? Thanks!

hi ziola,

enable advanced permissions by putting this into your config file:
<?php
define('PERMISSIONS_MODEL', 'advanced');
?>


then select the block you want to be viewed or not viewed by various group by changing the Read permissions for that group for that block.

go to block --> set permissions --> and choose Add User/Group --> give them Read Permissions or take it away. There's a little user tab that's easily looked over too...

Keep in mind that you may need to go to your Dashboard Sitemap (as the top level Admin) after enabling Advanced Site Permissions and select Home Permissions and give groups the ability to add types of pages and various other privileges.

Choose -->Set Manually

and

Select the drop down Currently Viewing and choose Sub-Page Permissions --> and give people the rights they need to add pages you want them to add. Save your settings. Changes should cascade down the website if you also have "sub-pages inherit" permissions enabled.

Keep in mind that if the pages were created under the Basic permissions scheme I understand that it can possibly lead to some funky behavior (according to a post by Franz a while ago).

This is why I automatically add in Advanced Permission now, right after a new site install.
