Hello everyone
First post - apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere. I've
been reading and rereading the Security docs
http://bricolagecms.org/docs/2.0/api/Bric/Security.html#Authorization and
am still having trouble with creating non-global admins
I'm trying to create a "regional" admin group that's a level below global
admins - that is, members of this group would have access to only one
regional site (I made a group for all that site's groups) and would be able
to add and edit users only within this regional group. I'm stuck on one
issue: I can't get these regional admins to be able to create groups and
also assign users to their newly created groups. The regional admins can't
assign themselves to the groups they create, so they never get the edit
power for those groups.
1.) Is this possible? Or can only global admins create groups and assign
users?
2.) Following the steps in on the security page, I do this:
1. as global admin, create regional admin group. assign this group the
permission to Create All groups, Edit regional groups, Create All users and
edit regional users.
2. Create user and add user to regional admin group.
3. Log in as regional admin. Create a user group. Add user group to
"regional groups" group. There's no option to add users to this group or
edit the permissions of the group I've just created.
4. On my profile page as the regional admin, the newly created group is
grayed out and is not available to be added to my groups.
If I log in as global admin and then add the regional admin to the group,
then regional admin can then add members to the group himself, although he
still can't access the Permissions screen for the group or change access to
it on the regional admin group > Permissions screen.
Is there any way to configure group permissions so that a non-global admin
can both create groups and add himself to the newly created groups?
thanks,
Clare
