this re-post of topic posted 5 months ago in administration area. can considered security issue, since has controlling visibility of article general public. if i'm in wrong area of forum, please let me know should posted.
the problem viewing access in joomla 3.3. article have given restricted access nevertheless visible (public). viewing access scheme worked fine in joomla 2.5 not seem work in joomla 3.3.
details:
my organization has simple joomla 2.5 site on ipage, , have confidential info want visible logged in member.
--i have created user ("member") , password user;
--i have created usergroup ("members group", under "public group") , assigned user group;
--i have created access level ("member access") , have assigned access level "members group";
--i created category "member category" articles publicly visible , sub-category ("member category restricted") article want restrict visibility.
--finally, created article want hidden public, put article "member category restricted" sub-category, , gave article viewing access level of "member access". (i left viewing access of "member category" @ public access, believe necessary in order keep other articles in category visible public. left viewing access level of menu module , menu item leading article @ public access, believe necessary in order user see menu before logging in.)
all of above works fine in joomla 2.5. article want hidden not visible until viewer logs in "member".
when tried duplicate above in joomla 3.3 site on godaddy (that created scratch, not upgrading), article (in joomla 2.5) hidden until viewer logs in, (in joomla 3.3) visible visit site (without logging in), is, visible public.
i'm not sure doing wrong, wonder if else has seen problem, whether due change in procedure part of joomla 3, or whether (as suggested elsewhere) possible bug in joomla 3.
before ask, yes, guest user set "guest" group. suggestions appreciated.
