Re: ACL Question

Hi Ed,

You can customise your users permission using ACL plugin. I suggest
finding one on your own, the current one I use has a drawback when I
have over 10 groups with different permission settings. The role
permission setting stops working. However, it's still effective if I
view users roles or users permission, and from there we can customise
the users permission.

You may want to refer to this:

I'm not sure if you can find a better one or make one. The recommended
ACL plugins can be found here:

Mark Story's ACL extras and menu components.

If anytime you managed to get one working better than any above, share
with me.

:-)

Best regards,
Maxim.
