Permissions to Subadmins to administer Categories  Bottom

  • Hello friends.

    I am using Zikula 1.0.1
    In our site, we have a group (Teachers) who are Subadmins. We would like to give them the right to administrate the Categories system.
    Just bellow the
    Administrators | .* | .* | Admin
    permission I have inserted the following permission:
    Teachers | (News|Stories|Pages|pnForum|Mediashare|crpCalendar|freechat|Admin_Messages|Categories|Users|Groups):: | .* | Admin
    This permission gives Teachers admin access to several modules.
    A Teacher can open the Categories module. He can even enter the form to add/edit a category. But when he/she submits the form he gets an error:
    >> Access Denied
    >> Sorry! You do not have authorization to access this page
    >> Additional technical information
    >> Sorry! No authorization to access this module.

    By clicking on the Component/Instance on the header of permissions table, I did not found any other Instance of Categories module.

    Any suggestions?

    the form process is taken by adminform and it checks for:
    'Categories', '::', ACCESS_ADD (for new categories) and ADMIN access to edit them.

    The form checks for a different component:
    'Categories::category', '::', ACCESS_ADMIN
    but you said that the form is accessible
    so, i have no idea of what's happening icon_confused

  • In demo.zikula.org I have just added a group teachers and gave them permissions just as above:
    Teachers | (News|Stories|Pages|pnForum|Mediashare|crpCalendar|
    freechat|Admin_Messages|Categories|Users|Groups):: | .* | Admin

    The user Teacher (who belongs in group Teachers) experiences the same problem: He enters the Categories Administration, opens the form to add a category, but when he submits the form to apply the addition, same message appears:
    "Sorry! You do not have authorization to access this page"

    If this happens in demo site too, then I guess it has to do with zikula environment itself and not only with my installation.
