Tore Skobba	Wednesday 15 October 2003 8:52:12 am Hi all Trying to configure my user groups as explained below. But I do not get it to work My simple user conf.: USER GROUP ROLE anonymous users Read all content in section "anon" guest accounts Read all content in section "guest" students Read all content in section "stud" Where the students usergroup is placed within, or below the guest accounts usergroup. Does this then make students inherit guest accounts roles? To my best knowledge this is not the case, can anyone verify this? cheers Tore

But in your case you can assign the guest role to the students user group (in addition to the student role) and they will get the correct policies. -- Amos Documentation: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation FAQ: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/faq
Thomas Schamm	Monday 27 October 2003 2:51:44 pm Hi Jan, you're right, one can add the user group 'students' to the role, but is there a possibility to add a user group to a role when a special person (not the admin) adds a new user group. I.e. I'm working on a site for a headgroup of several skiing groups. Every user should be able to add himself to his group (this works). But i want to assign some persons the right to create a new group. So i need to implement a fuction, when a new user group is created, that it is connected automatically to the role which is present for all user groups. Any Idea? Regards, Thomas

Hi all

Trying to configure my user groups as explained below. But I do not get it to work

My simple user conf.:
USER GROUP ROLE
anonymous users Read all content in section "anon"
guest accounts Read all content in section "guest"
students Read all content in section "stud"

Where the students usergroup is placed within, or below the guest accounts usergroup. Does this then make students inherit guest accounts roles? To my best knowledge this is not the case, can anyone verify this?

cheers

Hi Jan,

you're right, one can add the user group 'students' to the role, but is there a possibility to add a user group to a role when a special person (not the admin) adds a new user group.

I.e. I'm working on a site for a headgroup of several skiing groups. Every user should be able to add himself to his group (this works). But i want to assign some persons the right to create a new group. So i need to implement a fuction, when a new user group is created, that it is connected automatically to the role which is present for all user groups.
Any Idea?
