Setting permissions to particular users  Bottom

  • I'd like to set the permissions in PostNuke - 0.8.0.0-RC2 so that only people who are registered can see a certain menu block in the left. For instance, if I have a block called "Member Tools", and have a page underneath that called "Upload Images", how would I set the permissions to a registered user? If someone could lay out EXACTLY how I would write out these permissions:

    Component
    ?????

    Instance
    ?????


    I have read the knowledgebase for this, and frankly, I find it very confusing. If someone could show me exactly how I need to write this out. What characters to use etc. I would really appreciate it.

    So, I don't want non-registered users to see this extra menu. Only registered ones. I'd like it to be available on all pages for the reg. users.

    What modules would I set the block for to make this happen? Or is it all done in the permissions section?

    Thanks so much and a very Happy New Year to you all!

  • It depends on the block you are using. Every block has its own permission scheme. You can see that in the permissions administration when you click on the heading "instance" or "component"

    But basically it should work if you set something like this:

    unregistered | blockName:: | :: | none

  • Thanks "kaffeeringe.de". I'll give that a try. Happy New Year to you!
  • I got around this issue by just putting the links I wanted for the Registered Users in an Admin Message and then just set the message view to "Registered Users Only". Works like a charm.

    I hope to eventually learn how to use the "Permissions" section properly - LOL. But for now this will do.
