Questions: I would like to create policies to achieve Application 1 as you advertised, how can I do it?
Before you move to the next step, please read this first:
! *
The logic of the software: All articles, categories, sections, menu items and modules will be under controlled ONCE THEY ARE SELECTED in the policy, and once these items are selected in the policy, ONLY members in this policy/group can access them.
! *
- Go to Components --> Open Source ACL, click the New button.
- Enter the Access Control policy name, and tick the "Allow user to view content items" option.
- Change the default message to users that are not included in this policy / group.
- Select the Menu item in the Home page dropdown list. This will redirect the user to this menu item after the user is login if you turn on the User redirection plugin.
- Save the Policy.
- After Saving the policy setting, please click the Configuration link to access the configuration section.
- In the section "Sections, Categories, Articles", select the article(s) / category(ies) / section(s) you want to control the access. After selecting these article(s) / category(ies) / section(s), only the users that you select in the Applied Users can read the articles.
Please note:
* Ticking one section indicates that you want to restrict the access of all articles and categories in that section.
* Ticking one category indicates that you want to restrict the access of all articles in that category. - You can click on the section title to select the cateogries of this section. After you click into the section, you can switch to other sections by changing the options in the dropdown list on your right hand side.
- Also, you can click on the category title to select the articles in this category. After you click into the category, you can switch the categories by changing the options in the dropdown list on your right hand side, or click the categories and section icon in the tool bar on the top.
- After selecting the articles/categories/sections in the article section, please click on "Members" Icon on the top right corner. In the Members Section, select the users that you want to ALLOW them to view the article(s) / category(ies) / section(s) that you have selected in the article section. Please make sure that you have selected at least ONE user, for example, Super Administrator.
- That's it. Your articles will be under controlled and only those users you have selected in this policy can read the article.
