Docs associated with more than 1 hidden group are inaccessible.

    Hi Guys,

    I’m trying to provide the same document to two different hidden groups, so I’ve associated it with them, but on the front end when I’m logged in as a group user to one of the groups and I try to read the doc, it goes to the login screen repeatedly, seemingly because the permissions from the other hidden group are preventing access. What is the proper way to associate a document to more than one hidden group so that it’s accessible to both? Please don’t tell me it’s not possible ??

    Thanks!
    Andy

    Hi Andrew-

    We haven’t worked on multiple-group-associated docs, so you’re a frontiersman. ??

    I’m guessing you’d have to belong to both of the hidden groups to access the docs, otherwise it will be added to the “no-access” docs list (see BP_Docs_Access_Query for more about how we protect docs). Can you access the doc if you belong to both groups?

    Hi David,

    I don’t know, but I’ve decided to move my entire community out of WordPress and into Joomla, which has an ACL that is second to none, imho. We were trying to make BuddyPress work for our needs, which was a bit like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, with all of the features we needed to include.

    Thanks anyway.

    Thanks for the update.

    What’s an ACL, other than a part of the knee that gets injured fairly frequently?

    Yes Joomla has remarkable knees ?? It stands for Access Control List. You can provide group or individual access to any content. Very powerful user management software.
