  I have a PN0.764 site with news-articles which have a topic (one out of 25) and a category (one out of 10). I use permissions based on categories on my PN-site.
  
  I'm trying to move to Zikula but the permissions got screwed up. Now the items have been upgraded to news 2.6.2, before I can prohibit a guest from seeing an article, I have to disallow both the category and the topic.
  
  As I have many topics I have to enter both the category-id and all topic-category id's in a permission. For example:
  categories:
  category 1 - internal
  category 2 - clients
  category 3 - visitors
  
  topics
  category 4 - topic - IT
  category 5 - topic - energy
  
  To disallow guest from seeing internal affairs, I thought I have to use the following rule:
  

  Code

  unregistered  categories::category  (1|2):: none

  
  However, if an article has a topic "IT" , it will show wether or not it's internal.
  
  What would be the best way to get this to work? I've been trying for hours, reading formus, Wiki etc etc but no luck...
  
  TIA
  
  Bas

  I tried two ways around:
  1) Disallow category 1 and allow read for all categories
  this doesn't work, see above.
  2) allow category 3 and disallow all other categories
  this seems to works, unregistered can't view articles in category 2 or 3 (they are only allowed to view news with either a category 3). However, the overview of categories is empty (so not even showing category 3) while the archive does work. Also, they can't view an overview of topic 4. This makes sense as I set all categories to none, but as soon as I allow topic 4 along with category 3, also the internal messages show up as one of the permissions is allowed.
  
  Ideally I think it should be the other way round: Only show messages if both category and topic (or both category-property 1 and category-property 2 in fact) are allowed.

  I am trying to do something similar here: http://community.zik…art-0.htm#pid260608 and haven't figured it out either. I see that your instance specification is different than mine. I used FAQ::Category versus Categories::Category. Since you at least got some filtering to work, I'll give your syntax a try...

  Category based permissions have always been tricky, I didn't even realize they were finally working in some manner in fact. I'll try to draw some attention to the two threads from people who may know better.
