Why visible blocks are always visible to admin, even if you set "no visible" from groups permissions

Basically my question is in the topic title.

I trying to set some visible blocks for registered users group, suppose blocks number 1,2& 5
and some for a custom user group, suppose blocks 1,3& 4

My settings are:

Block administration

Blocks 1,2,3,4 & 5 are visible.

Groups permissions

Registered users have permission for view 1,2,5

Custom users have permission for view 1,3,4

Admin group have permission to view 1,3,4

-----------------------------------------------

THE PROBLEM IS Admin view all the blocks! 1,2,3,4,5
But i have OFF 2 and 5!

Why the admin always see all the visible blocks ignoring the groups permissions??

Exist a way to avoid that?


Thanks in advance
Javier

you have to set the permissions of every group right.

if you wish that a block is not visible to webmasters go to your group-setting and edit the webmasters group - deselect the block you dont want to have visible for webmasters.

that should work.

That´s the point and the bug,
Maybe i not use the right words to explain above dued to my bad english.

No matter if you deselect the blocks in admin group, you always still see all the blocks as admin user.

With
"But i have OFF 2 and 5!"
i mean i have blocks 2 and 5 deselected for admin group, but you still see blocks 2 and 5 anyways.

javier,

It works fine for me dude, I am running two XOOPS sites now and I have on both a "please note" block reminding people to register for free etc.

I (as webmaster) was always getting the block up until I modify webmaster group and un-ticked the box.

Now I don't see the box.

Are the admins also in the registered users group?
