I’m creating a pretty basic site. First, I want to acknowledge that I understand that my question has to do with ACL. Also please note that I’ve already read through the information on ACL at joomla.org. My problem is, I’m still not getting it.
My site will have 2 types of users, Admin and Viewer. Viewer is the audience and will log in as a registered user. Admin will have the exact same access, but will have just one additional menu item that Viewer can’t access.
Here’s the site: http://www.hrpresenter.com
Registered User: temp Password: temp (this user set as Registered)
Temp Admin: tempadmin Password: tempadmin (this user currently set as Registered Customer Group)
So, here’s the three states of the site and the respective buttons viewable on the main menu:
1. Public (nobody logged in): HOME, Login
2. User: Viewer logs in: HOME, Login, Presentation
3. User: Admin logs in: HOME, Login, Presentation, Admin
Where: Home = Public; Login = Public; Presentation = Registered; Admin = Special
Right now, Viewer seems to be behaving like I want. When Viewer (temp) logs in, Presentation becomes newly visible. However, I’m unable to properly set Admin’s (tempadmin) permissions so that when he logs in, he also sees all of Viewer’s buttons, plus another button, Admin. Currently, I have tempadmin
I suspect that the above problem is old-hat for experts. I’m just not getting it!
Any help appreciated

Don’t feel bad.. I remember when we were building the ACL it was confusing. There are a couple of good tutorials out there and the book in my sig covers it well. Your on the right track. Hopefully one of the mods who’s better versed in it will speak up. You can ACL just about everything so it can get tricky. Reminds me of when I was first learning linux permissions ::((
