non-members of group can edit page

    UAM Version 1.2.6.6

    In our site we have a page demo1 and the UAM Access widget is set to “Group 1”.
    Group 1 defines: read and write access only for group members, no role affiliation.
    Then we have a user XYZ with WP role Editor who is not a member of Group 1 – but this user can edit page demo1.

    We think this must not be the case – are we wrong, and if: why?

    Thanks.

    Issue solved – or something like that:
    The key is the setting “Minimum user role with full access”. It was set to Editor therefore any user with the role Editor was able to edit pages regardless of the assigned UAM group. On the other hand only users with role Editor can edit somebody else’ page. This makes it hard to setup e.g. two pools of pages, for one group editors of UAM group A take care and the other group should be edited by UAM group B. For this setup the “Minimum user role …” setting has to be set to Administrator.
