Form customization : how to when a user belongs to 2 usergroups with differents customizations ?

Hello,

I have 2 users on my site : A and B

A belongs to admin and editor usergroup
B belongs to editor usergroup

(Don't ask me why A belongs to editor group too.. I've been working on permission for 10 days, I might have read somewhere I needed to put A in editor group ! :p)

Anyway, I want A to see all forms when editing / creating while B just sees some of them.

I define 2 roles for form customization : admin rule (with admin usergroup) and editor rule (with editor usergroup). But, A can't see all forms. He just sees the same forms as B

I guess it's because as A belongs to editor group, his rights seem to be restricted to those of editor usergroup

Shouldn't A inherits from the most permissive rule ?

(While posting, I tested to remove A from editor usergroup and it works fine, he can seel all forms)

You should be able to set the "primary" group for user A to be the admin group in the "Rank" field of the permission in the user's Access Permissions.

It also may be that you need to have a "super-user" (0) role for editor, and assign your admin user to that role, while the editor user would be "member" (999) or some other level.

Thank you Susan ! The rank field was the key

We are unable to get form customization working at all in 2.2.

We followed the steps in the video in the manual, but all form elements remain visible. Would you mind doing us a huge favour and posting a step-by-step list of all the things you did to get it working?

Hello,

Did you flush the permissions ? Log out then Log in ?

Does the user belong to a usergroup ? And has that usergroup a form customization profil ?
Did you create both create and update ressource set ?

If you did follow the step by step tutorial, I don't know where it failed :/

Thanks Perrine,

I believe we've done all of those steps.

However, we are getting a strange error message in the log, as my colleague detailed in this thread:

I'm sorry, I don't know about the error you get :/

Did you make an upgrade from modx previous version ? I had a problem with access rights after an upgrade, but no problem with a new install.

It was an upgrade from 2.1.5. If it takes building everything all over again with a new install we'll just do without Forms Customization.
