View Full Version : Additional usergroups / permissions

I have the permissions set so that two advertisement blocks do not show to a specific usergroup.

If the specified usergroup is set as primary - they do not see the blocks.

However, if the usergroup is their 'additional' group (e.g. primary =admin / additional = contributor) then they still see the advertisement block.

I've double checked the advertisement block permissions and it does state that said usergroup should not see them - yet they do, but only when this group is their additional usergroup.

Any suggestions?

As a side note, I've added a google-ad into the first post of every page and by using a conditional statement it is not displayed if the viewer belongs to the contributor usergroup. This code works well and I've double checked - it doesn't display the in-post google-ad regardless of whether they're set as a contributor in primary or additional.

That's because the member is still part of your "Registered" group, which has permission to see the ads. If any group that a user is a member of has permission to view a module, then it's going to appear for them.

I'm guessing then, the only way i can change it is to go to each advertisement block and implement the same conditional statement as I have in the post condition?

With that, it means they'll see the block - but the advert itself will be missing - correct?
