I wanted to be able control access to k2 items by user, user group or category so users can only have access to their assigned user group! But no matter what I do nothing changes users still can access all the categories and post items to them. How do I hack or correct this?
Thank you.

K2 Permissions apply only for content editing NOT for content viewing.

Thanks but that's exactly what I want to do! I want to assign people only to edit a specific category. I assigned the user group the category permission but still any manager can edit any content. I created a user group, created users[manager] and I assigned each user to a user group and assigned a category. But the problem still exist! I am think'g a core file problem!!! What do you think?

Thanks

Permissions affect only the front end editing not the backend.

Wow. This little bit of news avoided me altogether.  The mind hears what it wants to hear, huh?
