How to add user to multiple groups?

Wednesday 21 January 2004 6:52:09 pm

Hi,

For my members I have two groups:

Group 1
Basic set of object creation permissions etc....

Group 2
Members of this group can create/read/edit a special object.

The majority of users are only in Group 1, however, I need to add some of them to Group 2 to allow them to do extra stuff. How is this managed?

From the web interface: Is it simply a case of adding new publish locations - there doesn't seem to be any other possible way to do it.

Programatically: Is it simply a case of creating a new node assignment? Or do I add another entry to the groups array for the user?

I am also unclear on role permission inheritance. Group 1 and Group 2 are on the same level in the directory tree (I have read about the sub groups bug) will members in both groups have permissions of both roles or does the most/least restrictive set of permissions.

Regards,
Willie

hmmm I might understand you wrong here, but I had a somewhat similar problem I think.

My solution was to have two user groups (User A and User B), then make roles for each (Role A and Role B). Then I assigned User A to Role A, while User B was assigned to Role A and Role B.
