Hi,

XOOPS is very well to manage groups.
But the thing is I would like to give special rights, for exemple :
- have a private forum
- some news they are the only readers,
- some files they are allowed to see and downloads
etc..
Those special members are members.

Is it possible to have a module who allow members list to have special rights without creating a new group?
In other way is it possible to have the possibility to manage users instead of groups?

This question is about this question :
on my site, members can have all what is previously managed for them;
But for a while some of them (a working group) want to have special exanges of ideas & files in forum space, download area space, etc... and during that time they don't want to be viewed by others.

Creating a new group is boring : long time to give all rights in bloks admin area.
It would be preferable to have the opprtunity to give open vue for a special module for some members....

I hope you see what I mean... (excuse my poor english)

thank's,

Jean-Paul

PS - In fact the best idea would be to take a module whitch allow sub-categories ( as forum or news or wf-section) and have a .htaccess when going in a sub-category from the index module. The member of that working group (some of the members) give the login/pass to who he want and then only the team is able to get into the sub-module.

Is anyone have done that before?
Is it possible to do it?
What do you think about?

Why not create a special group? System admin > groups

then when you add a new forum or category you can select which groups can see and do what with it.
