User administration and restrict website content
Step-by-step instructions accompanied by screenshots for completing administrative tasks in Joomla!
Administrator publishing roles, restrict access to content and assigning site administration access
Managing 'User' access
Add new Joomla! site administrator (via the MIS portal)
-
Warning - can't be actioned in the Joomla! 'Use Manager'
-
This facility in the mis.eq.edu.au portal allows the user to have full control of the Joomla! environment
-
This is not required for people to update content
-
The 'Elevated' publish role of 'Manager' would be suitable for this
-
Review the next tutorial for this
Assign special publishing roles to 'Registered' users
-
Assign publishing roles (author - editor - manager) in 'User Manager' to registered users in the school domain
-
Level 'Publisher'/'Manager' necessary to update content
-
User 'elevated' from 'Registered' become 'Special' user
-
Review user access matrix - identify access level required
Restrict content to 'Registered'/'Special' users
-
'Registered' user logs into the 'Members Area' to view 'Registered' content
-
Accounts elevated above 'Registered' (Author - Editor - Publisher - Manager (and Administrator)) can view 'Special' content after login
-
Review 'Blog' page type example
Restrict content/files to MIS Staff/Student Groups
- Requires logging into MIS portal (mis.eq.edu.au)
- Uses the MIS AD permission groups to set access
- MIS administrator uses FTP account to upload content to school web-space
- Joomla! 'Publisher' - 'Manager' or 'Administrator' creates page links back to this web-space material
- System prompts for authentication when restricted content is accessed
- Authentication against set AD group such as 'ALL_STAFF'
Set/reset FTP access to your webspace (via the MIS)
- Reset web-space FTP username and password to access schools web-space
- Requires MIS 'Reset user and permissions' administrators logging into (mis.eq.edu.au) to action
