    Hi,

    I'm trying to set up different Media Sources for different User Groups.
    But I'm stuck with the following problem:

    + set up three media sources (one admin, one UserGroup A, one UserGroup B)
    + access rights in the media source:
    + each Usergroup is MediaSourceAdmin in its source
    + each UserGroup is MediaSourceUser in the admin group (so to list and use the media stored there)
    + for each user the default_media_source is set to the appropriate media source

    and here's the problem:

    The (limited - non-admin) users see the default media source in the browser (although it's only the number of the source not its name). The user cannot alter the preselected media source (so no other media are accessible).

    To make it even more confusing: One user is member in both UserGroups (A and B). Even this user can only see the preselected media source - the second one (on which he should have full rights) is not accessible.

    What's wrong?

    Any help appreciated

    Thomas

      Sorry... just after I posted I found out myself:

      The (new) role that I create (as a copy of ContentEditor) did not have the "source_view" priviledge.

      After adding this everything worked as desired.

      Maybe someone else will be stuck with the same problem - so I leave it here.
