Forum OpenACS Q&A: Forums Permissions

Collapse
Posted by Pedro Muñoz on
In an OpenACS instance with the Forums version 1.0d4, I had set for several groups the following permissions for the Forums package in Administration/Applications:

GroupA: Read Create Write
GroupB: Read
Others: No permissions allowed

Also, there are two forums (Forum1 and Forum2), and I had set the concrete permissions for each forum in this way:

Forum1
------
GroupA: Read Create Write
GroupB: Read Create Write

Forum2
------
GroupA: Read Create Write
GroupB: No permissions allowed

Although users from Group B have not permissions in Forum 2, they can see all the list of available forums (but what I want is that they can only see the names of the forums which are allowed, so the name of Forum2 shouldn't see)

Is there any other configuration for achieving this objective? Is this solved in another version of the Forums package?

Greetings,
Pedro

I guess you need to develop this to change the permission check on display for the actual forums instead of just the forum package (as this sounds to be the case).
