Am I missing something or just doing it wrong?

    Hi there,

    This sounded like the ideal plugin for my needs.

    I’ve got it installed with no problems and it seems intuitive enough to use.

    I’ve created a test UAM group and allocated a test user to it (test user is just a subscriber) so far all good!

    I then created a test page (draft, privately published page) and allowed the test UAM group access to it (put a check in the Access box).

    Logged in as the test user in the the test UAM group and nothing, can’t access anything, denada! Except the page an ordinary subscriber gets.

    Should this test user be able to view and edit the specific page I’ve given him access to or am I expecting too much from this plugin?

    Any ideas what I’m doing wrong please?

    Thanks very much.

    I’ve used this plugin before and it’s good, but it always seemed to me that there was some other step I was missing, and I can’t remember what it was.

    Did you select a “Role Affiliation” when you set up your test group?

    Thanks kjodle,

    My assumption was that the “Role Affiliation” is the component that gives the group the access level and permission, is that correct?

    So in my case I set it to “editor” to elevate users in the group to be able to edit those pages/posts they had been given access to.

    There doesn’t appear to be any other options I can set.

    Please feel to set me straight if I’ve got my wires crossed.

    Kind regards,

    Mel

    I don’t believe that Role Affiliation “elevates” users; rather it controls which level of users in that group have that option. This lets you really fine-tune controls.

    So if the people you wanted to give this ability to are authors, you would need to tick the “Authors” box in Role Affiliation.
