    hello. its about revo.
    i have a web project with every page available only after authorization. so there is only auth page to begin with.
    i also have multiple resource groups, element groups and user groups.

    everything worked fine with login and TV inheritance and stuff before i began to create resource groups and assign them to pages.

    i couldnt just save TV values in documents any more. and inheritance got broken ofc.
    i've managed to fix it: wiped all TVs and resource groups and then created it back again. but this time i made resource groups first and TVs after that. donnow why but it helped.

    also being logged as admin i lost pages from res_groups in manager site tree. had to update permissions for administrator group - didnt think ill have to actually. its admin after all.

    but the worst thing appeared for web users. with proper context, roles and res_groupes assigned to web user group - i got a mess on site. looks like permissions are lagging or not working correctly.
    for example i have pages assigned to a group and this resource group is [u]not available for any user group. but everyone can see it. and vice-verse there are pages in another group assigned to different user groups - but noone can see it.
    [/u]i was playing with it all day and the result was always unpredictable and appeared randomly time after time.

    WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
    cache? permissions flush? whatever?
    was digging RTFM but its so straight forward and obvious that hardly could help sad

    btw i have the same functionality made in EVO - and it works well.
    first i was amazed with revo functionality but now i dont find this x^10 features useful.

    where can i find proper step-by-step to setup secured modx site?

    like:
    1. resource groups
    2. user groups, resource access definition
    3. TV and element goups
    4. pages and stuff
    ...
    PROFIT!


    there should be a proper path because i couldnt apply security layer for a working site - everything just got broken.
    being a big fan of modx for 5 years, today is the worst experience.
    help please or i'll get fired smiley
