Hello,

I have an existing site that has 8 users. Most of the site is globally accessible to all 8 registered users. I would like the opening public view view to show only a menu that has a separate menu button for each user. When any of the users clicks their respective link, they are brought to the login form. Upon login, the user would have access to the entire site – with one exception: There are one or two articles that only the current logged in user can access. So, User1 has complete access to everything, except articles “owned” by User2 – User8, etc.

The purpose of this is to provide a largely general site globally accessible to registered users, but with one or two personalized articles that below and are viewable only to the respective User.

Is this possible? If so, how is it done?

Rob

Dear Realtoast,

Please look at http://docs.joomla.org/Access_Control_List/2.5/Tutorial , you could create different user groups and assign users to them. Which articles, you could assign permissions for user groups as user guide. The ACL of Joomla is flexible, so you could implement as you desired.
