Permission to sections

I have a problem. I add on my website some new section e.g. News, Sport, Entertainment, and I add some new user. And I'd like each user have a permission to own section. For example:

user1 - he can see only News Section, and add news articles, edit and delete. He haven't permission to add articles to Sport and Entertainment.

user2 - he can see only Sport Section ...

user3 - he can see only Entertainment Section ...

How It do it? Sorry for my english...

You can do that with Groups.

Create a group that has admin permissions to access the News sections. Then assign User1 to that group.

Then repeat for the other sections...

From the Control Panel, under System Admin, go into 'Groups'

At the top you'll see 'Edit Groups', you can then click on 'Modify' to change what permissions that group has access to. Below this section is the 'Add Group' menu and you can use this to create new groups.

You can also assign users into that particular group. That menu is down at the bottom labeled 'edit Members of this Group'

Ok I create a new group, add a admin and modules rights to "Section" but i stil don't know how add a permision to section in "Section". When I login a user who fall under a group which I created, I still see all column in "Section" - News, Sport, Entertainment. But I want to see only News. Another user who fall under another group should see only Sport in "Section".
Another user who fall under another group should see only Entertainment in "Section". Any sugestion? Is this possibly?

I misunderstood what you meant...I should have read your orginal post a little closer. Sorry.

I'm assuming you're using the default News Module that comes with Xoops? And you want to restrict admin access to each 'topic'? You have topics for News, Entertainment, Sports, etc. Is that correct?

I'm not sure you can do that.

But you might be able to clone the News module. Create one for Sports, one for Entertainment, etc. Then you should be able to assign the permissions in the Groups. I haven't tried to clone a module yet, so I'm not much help.

Perhaps someone who has done this could jump in and help or suggest another way around this problem.

I found this in the FAQ:

Yes that's it Thank you for your help. Now I know what to do, but clone module seems a "little" difficult :(

News2: News Clone

I haven't tried it yet.

If you replace the News module that comes with XOOPS with the latest version (News 1.13) you can set viewing and submission permissions from within the module's admin.

For example, you create 2 groups in XOOPS admin - 'Football' and 'Tennis' and allow them both access to News module. You add users to these groups.

Then in News admin you create 2 categories - Football News and Tennis News.

In the 'Permissions' tab of News admin, you use checkboxes to set the permissions for who can approve news that is submitted to each category, who can submit news to it and who can view it. For example, the 'view permissions' section would look similar to this:

View permissions
----------------
Anonymous Users   [.] Football News  [.]Tennis News
Football          [X] Football News  [.]Tennis News
Tennis            [.] Football News  [X]Tennis News


Instructions on installing News 1.13 are included with the module and I believe you can upgrade from earlier versions of News if you already have a lot of items.
