Hello

I am setting up front end list management via menu item.
as per documentation I have set front end management to none for all list and set the creator to the user who should be able to manage from front end.

But when I go to front end with a user that is only assigned one list I can see all enabled lists.

Is there any reason?

I also just tried upgrading to 3.8 but still same behavior
We are on joomla 2.5.6

Thank you very much

Hello,

He may be able to "see" all lists on the archive section but will be able to manage only his own list.

Hi Adrien,
It is true that if user is assigned as creator of one list he can manage only that list (newsletter maintenance there and everything). He can still see though the other lists he does not own. With many lists (a few shops for example that handle their different small mailing lists) one shop owner will see the other shop owner's list and newsletters .. It can be nasty .. is it possible to hide this so owner of list can only see his ? .. is there any current way or plan to have anytime soon .. until then only the back end is left as an option
Thanks,
G

Hi,

I think there is a misunderstanding...

Owner of the list can manage his own list ONLY. So he can see his own subscribers, add new, edit them, create/edit/send Newsletters and see his own stats.

The rest of the application will be accessible for him like any other user so if your archive section is accessible, he will be able to see Newsletters from the other lists.
Of course he won't be able to see stats/edit/send for other lists and won't be able to access other subscribers than his own.

Hi,
Thanks for the input. I agree that that is the case. Is there any way to show only the list(s) that the registered user is creator of ? Currently I agree that he cannot do much such as edit/manage the other lists he does not own .. not see the stats also but can still 'see' the lists and their newsletter .. even when they were sent ..appreciated
thx

Hello,

Two possibilities:

-> Set all your lists as "visible : No" so they won't appear on the archive section.

OR

-> Create an empty file at:
templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_acymailing/list/listing.php
That will block the lists view.

Hello Adrien,

I am writing as we are experiencing further issues with this.

We have list "XYZ" created by user "ABC"
in the front end we have a "manage newsletters" menu item.
When we login in with user "ABC" we can see the newsletter but cannot edit / send or view statistics.

The permissions were set to "none" as per documentation.
I also did a bit of troubleshooting and tried to assin the newsletter fronend managment to some user groups but this did not help.
However with another user "DEF" who is also super user, when assigned to the user group that can manage that list, we can see the edit and stats icons.

we are unable to give front management permissions to our users as of now.
Could you please let us know asap.

Thank you very much!

Hello,

The access control level on the AcyMailing configuration page will always be applied to the front-end and back-end before checking anything else.
So if the user is not allowed to manage list/Newsletters on that configuration, he won't be able to manage it via the front-end.
Most of our users set the rights on the AcyMailing configuration page to "all".

Then, on top of that first verification, an other one is done based on the access you set in your list.
If the user is owner of that list OR belongs to a group which is allowed to manage the list on the front-end then he will be able to manage it.

You should check the access rights you specified on the AcyMailing configuration page, I guess the issue is there.

Hello Adrien,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
I have the ACL in Acy set correctly.

Please see the screenshot attached
The user in question is in the "blogger" user group
And is the owner of the list
It can't edit the newsletter but now the "stats" button show (after resetting all ACL checks)

Am I missing anything else?
Thank you!

I just got a server 500 error when uploading the screenshot
I can tell you that all checkboxes are set for the user group in question.
The only ones not set are "delete" "import" "export" users

Let me know what you see
Thank you so much

Hello,

Please try to upload a screenshot of the access rights set on the Acy configuration page and in that list so I can check it.

Thanks Adrien.. setting visible to no for lists did the trick .. I read the docs also that with CSS you can remove the schedule and send buttons from front end .. I have configured the cron for automatic only send .. will the schedule just schedule it and automatically send through cron ? .. can I review from back end before approve the send ?.. if not then I will remove the schedule also from front end and will leave the option Save only for newly created newsletters .. much appreciated
thanks,

Hello,


The schedule will schedule the Newsletter and then send it automatically without extra validation.
There is no approval system yet.

Hello Adrien,

I sent you the screenshot last night and did not hear back. I see you took the time to answer the other question, and I am wondering if you received it.
I sent an email to your gmail address.
There is a problem with the forum (trying to upload the screenshot - I believe due to the size? - will return an error 500)

Please advise asap.

Thank you very much

Hello,


Yes, that's indeed due to the size.

The screenshot you sent me looks good and that should do the job.
Can you also send me a screenshot of your list so I can see the acl on the list itself?

done.
Thank you very much

Thanks Adrien,

Any future plans to incorporate a approval system for newsletters ?

Hi,

Not yet.

Is there a way to allow other users to access your lists? My team members are often told by customers that they did not receive an email. Quite often they have registered an incorrect email address, unsubscribed or even have opened the emails but cannot remember if they have.

At the moment only I can view it but I'm not always here. They have full access to community builder from the front end.
