I can't clearly understand user-groups-based access to boards.
After install I have "Forum Members" group that have access to all globally accessible boards. I've added here a "test" user (not admin user, now it is member of "Forum Members" group only).
My "test" user have access all over the forum.
Good, but I want to have some boards that will be accessible to selected user groups only.
First, I have created a new group "OXC":
give it one context "web" "Member - 9999" "Load, List and View"
and a "test" user as "Member - 9999" ("test" user now is member of "Forum Members" & "OXC" groups).
Question: Should I add second context "web" "Member - 9999" "Discuss Member Policy" to my "OXC" group? Seems that is not necessary, but I have to ask to be sure
Then, I have created a standard board "OXC members only".
As I understand there are two ways to edit access to boards:
#1. Components -> Discuss -> Boards -> "OXC members only" -> Edit Board -> User Group Access
And add here "OXC" group.
#2. Components -> Discuss -> User Groups -> "OXC" -> Update User Group -> Boards
And check here boards to access.
Adding "OXC" group to "OXC members only" board settings causes changes in "OXC"'s checked boards -
(#1) causes changes of (#2).
But checking "OXC members only" board in "OXC" group settings not causes changes in "OXC members only" board settings -
(#2) not causes changes of (#1).
And it not take effect at all - even after value have been saved, when update-user-group-page reloaded it takes value of board settings (#1), not its own new (allegedly "saved") value. Seems that mechanism (#2) is not working?..
Alright.. let's simply add a group to our board (#1). Save, clear the cache, flush permissions - new settings displays successfully on both pages. But "test" user
still do not have access to "OXC members only" board. While Admin and Guest
do have! Smiling through tears))) Exactly the opposite result)) What I'm doing wrong?
