Choose which plugins user can modify

Post by holysjit »

Hi,
I use userlevels, and this is what I want:
The admin (thats me) can modify all plugins, but usergroup A can only modify serveral plugins. How can I do this?

Thanks

Hi!

You can configure those usergroups that should not be allowed to configure plugins, and remove the privilege "adminPlugins" from them (using the checkbox in the "Manage Groups" interface).

You cannot set several plugins to be configurable by certain usergroups; you can only achieve that with the privilege 'adminPluginsMaintainOthers' and then changing the ownership of a plugin (through the dropdown in the "Manage Plugins" interface for each plugin) to be of special usership. Only some plugins like the HTML nuggets plugin and others make use of plugin ownership separation.

Thanks,
I changed the dropdown menu to the correct user, but he can modify all plugins. Screenshot: http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/7716 ... d01ih7.png

Hi!

If he has the privileges adminPlugins and adminPluginsMaintainOthers, he can always modify all plugins!

Also, the poll plugin is one of the plugins that are not "protected". Only HTML nuggets and a few others are.
