Control

Access Control for Joomla!™ 1.5

Click images to enlarge

Control is a maintenance utility that allows you to manipulate the Access Control tables provided with Joomla!.

Please note that this extension does not add access control to existing extensions (like com_content) by itself. Your installed extensions must be designed to work with Control in order to achieve finer access granularity.

Features

  • Builds on the existing phpGACL API used within Joomla!
  • Adds the extra tables required to use the full phpGACL API
  • Add your own User Groups (more than just Registered, Author, Editor, etc)
  • Add your own Access Levels (more than Public, Registered, Special, etc)
  • Create your own Permissions
  • Create your own Rules by binding permissions to User Groups and Access Levels
  • 100% Open Source - released under the GNU General Public License

Extensions Integrated with Control

We are currently testing the integrated of Control with our internal Document Manager, Catalog Manager, Magazine Manager and Content Manager (not available for release yet). To date this has been very successful as a proof-of-concept so we are moving to integrate Control with our Magazine and Catalog systems.

Requirements

  • Joomla! 1.5.0
  • The JXtended Libraries plugin
  • PHP 5 is recommended
