XF 2.3 Inheritance Question - Unlimited Items

[GrnEyedDvl]

Inheritance is great and works well, but I foresee a possible problem especially if you have a lot of user groups. I currently have 70 something.

We are only talking about the ones where you can set a numeric value here. And not the Time Limit options, having unlimited time to edit is fine. But lets take the Media Add-on. That adds Quotas with limits.

So if I set Registered to Maximum MB of storage of 50, and another group to 100 and a person is a member of that secondary group then they have a 100 meg limit. Perfect.

But when someone creates a new group and forgets to set that it has a default setting of 0, which I am assuming is Unlimited. The manual is not clear on this.

No, that's not how that works.

This is the equivalent of 'not set'. (Means, it does not affect other entitlements)


This is the setting for 50MB, which would override any other group that had a lower value:


This is the Unlimited setting:


You can verify the application of the combined permissions through the "Analyze Permission" option in your ACP.

Cool thanks! I was hoping that was the answer but I wanted to be sure.
