Quote:Is this a XOOPS 2.2.x feature to have user permissions per block?

Anyway it is not necessary to have module admin rights to view a block and you should switch it off for the groups that don't qualify.

I know that other users have reported this kind of problems. It seems that in the case of additional user groups, the permission system does not check the highest allowable permission for a group.

Try once with making a user member of 1 group only (or making him part of all allowable groups).

I think someone of the core should look into your system to determine the cause of this rare bug.

Yes the only way to allow users to see the block is to give them admin rights over the recent posts block.This is no good for reg members and anonymous users.If I can provide anything to clarify this problem or to double check the accuracy of this issue I will do so.I will try making a user group with 1 member again and give that member view only permission.
