Questions: I would like to create policies to achieve Application 4 as you advertised, how can I do it?
- Go to Joomla Backend --> "Content" --> "Sections", create a section called "Blogs"
- Then go to "Content" --> "Categories", create a category called "Blog for User A" and the other category called "Blog for User B" under the "Blogs" section.
- Go to Components --> Open Source ACL, click the New button.
- Enter the Access Control policy name "Blog for User A", and tick "Allow user to create content items" and "Allow user to update content items" options.
- In the section article section, 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. - Enter the Section "Blogs" and Click the Apply button. Hints: 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.
- Select the Category Blog for User A and Click the Apply button. Hints: 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 write Blogs in the 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.
- Now click the user's name, a new window is opened for you to edit the client's profile --> change the client's user type from "Registered" to "Publisher".
- Repeat Step 3 - Step 8 for Blogger "User B"
- Create one catch all policy for administrator. First, create a policy, name it as "Admin policy". Tick "Allow user to create content items" and "Allow user to update content items". Select all other sections and categories that are apart from the Testimonials section. Then select the adminitrators and super administrators.
- That's it!
