XF 1.4 Private Node permissions

[Mr Lucky]

I have set a node to private, and set all permissions to yes for my admin group. All other groups are not set (ie all set to inherit)

If I analyze permissions for a member who is registered group (but not admin) I can see that (correctly) they cannot view the node.

However all the other permissions show as yes, e.g. view threads.

I assume this is safe, in that if they can't view the node, then they can't view the threads within in spite of the permissions saying yes.

It seems a bit misleading, but is this correct?

There are two ways of doing it.

1. Set the node as private
2. Allow the 'View node' permission for the desired user group(s) or user(s).

or

1. Revoke the 'View node' permission for the Registered user group
2. Allow the 'View node' permission for the desired user group(s) or user(s).

This assumes you have set your usergroups up correctly as per this guide: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/implementing-permissions-across-multiple-user-groups.358/

 

[Mr Lucky]

Yes, I'm doing it via your 1st method.

I am just questioning whether the analyze permissions results are correct.

If they can't view the node then they can't view the threads.

However, if those permissions are set to allow then it must be set somewhere, presumably in the parent node?
