Rules of Access Levels

Before you start creating access control policies, please note that there are certain rules in our access control component and plugins:

Authors:

• Authors can create articles in their allowed categories/sections, but not outside those categories/sections.
• Authors can re-edit THEIR OWN articles in their allowed categories/sections before the article is published.
• Once the article is published, authors cannot re-edit it.

Editors:

• Editors can create articles in their allowed categories/sections, but not outside those categories/sections.
• Editors can re-edit all articles in their allowed categories/sections before the article is published.

Publishers:

• Publishers have the same functions as editors except that they can publish / un-publish articles within their allowed categories/sections.
• Publishers can publish / unpublish articles in their allowed categories/sections ONLY.
• Once the article is published, editors cannot re-edit it
• Once the article is published, only super administrator/administrator can re-edit it. Publishers and managers can re-edit those allowed articles only.

All Users:

• All users cannot create articles in the Uncategorized Section/Category.

These rules will supplement the Joomla default access control and will provide a horizontal access control effects.
