Hey Guys,
We have successfully switched our categories to multi-category and use the membership plugin which gave us our coveted security features, such as author, editor, etc.
We have setup the code in our sign up form to allow new users an author status to all sections by default. For now, we go into CMS and setup the appropriate authorization status "by section" once they have signed up.
This system works fine except for when it comes to the accounts section.
When a new user signs up, they can go and add a listing to any category but they cannot see any of the other listings from other users. Which is my understanding of how the author status works. However, they can view ALL of the other users in the accounts section. They cannot edit or delete, thankfully, but we still, for privacy reasons, cannot have this. The accounts table is the only table we have this issue with.
I tried editing our sign up form code, giving the accounts table an access level of "0" which I believe is no access but it still does not work. How can we prevent users from seeing the users table?
Thanks!
Oh, I forgot, once we change the access level to "by section" manually in CMS, this is no longer an issue because there in not an option to give access to the account table. And the new user can no longer see the account table on the menu bar. Which further adds to my confusion of why they would be able to see it when they first sign up. [:/]
