Hi, I'm puzzled to set the parent category permissions. For example if I have a parent category : AutomotiveThen I have child categories : Shops, Dealers, Spare Parts.How do I make a user (from frontend) can only make their items on the childs? ie only in the category Shop, Dealers, Spare Parts. While users is not allowed to make the items on the parent category (Automotive)?Please give me a clue ... and thanks in advace.,Badrun Tralala.

There may be a better way, but you might try
Automotive
items
Other Categories
then give them access to items and they may inherit the rite to post in all its subcatories, but not automotive

Thanks for your reply, however.. in my case is open directory, user in my site can post their own artcle. And with their ignorance they post the article in the category as they want, not as ruled. I think there is a good way to restrict user to post the article in parent category.

Hi,
I think the answer is in the user group permissions. In user groups create a group for users like allowed or so and then give that group write access only to the subcategories and read access to the parent category. I think that should do it.

yesterday I did not notice that we can set access options in the edit user group.
