Problem with groups in UAM (latest version)

  • Hi,

    I’ve 2 users groups created with UAM.
    I’ve created some posts (public access, UAM : group1). But people who are not logged in, see these posts.
    If I put private access for the post, and group1, not logged peope don’t see.

    For another group, group2; if I put public post and group2 : logged people from group2 see the posts (it’s exact).
    If I put private post and group 2 : logged people from group2 don’t see the posts.

    My posts don’t belong to categories.

    I don’t really understand how the plugin fonctions.

    Are the roles of users (editor, subscribers…) in the groups important to read the blog ?

    Now, since the latest version of the plugin, all is wrong. An idea ?
    Thanks for your help.

    Have a look at the FAQ that explains how the role stuff works https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/user-access-manager/faq/

    You can add users to groups you created and set the access for these groups. The role affiliation is only to assign user based on there wp role automatically to groups. Hope that helps.

    In your example, does the role affiliation mean that if a user doesn’t belong to a group but has the same role, he can see the post reserved for this group ?

    Group A : user 1 and post A : role affiliation : subscriber

    user 2 (subscriber) doen’t belong to Group A

    As user 2 is a subscriber, he can see the post A ?

    Is it true ?

    In your example, I think user3 is not in the group1 but he can see the post1. Is it true ?

    Thanks for your help.

    Do we have to set visibility to Private in our posts when we use UAM with groups notions ?

    Thank’s a lot.

    user 2 should be able to see post A.
    user 2 is not directly member of group A
    but through the affiliation for group A (‘subscriber’) user 2 (since he has role ‘subscriber’) is automatically in Group A and in turn, has access to post A
    user 3 in the example is also a member of group 1 (since he is a subscriber and group A is affiliated with the subscriber role)

    in theory you do not need to set visibility to private on your post.
    If you set a user group, then the rules of this group aplly (group read only, write only, all or whatever this group is configured for)
    When you do not set a user group on your post – it will just behave as if you did not install the plugin – but if you associate it with a category with user-group set (for pages set a parent with group set), than it will follow those group roles
    (both parent page or category behavior only if “Lock recursive” is set to ‘yes’).
