Understanding Joomla! ACL - Core Features & Available Extensions

Access Control Lists (ACL) is one of Joomla's most popular features and a draw for a lot of new users. ACL controls what site users can do and see on a website. The robust core ACL enables administrators to create tiered levels off access to different areas of the site for thousands of users. ACL is complex, and it raises a lot of questions.

We've scheduled two upcoming webinars to help answer some of those questions. The first webinar is Joomla! 3.1 ACL Explained. Hosted by CloudAccess.net Operating Manager Jonathan Gafill, this webinar will focus on core Joomla ACL. Jonathan will:

  • acl2offer a definition of basic ACL terminology
  • create new User Groups
  • assign Permissions
  • add new Users and assign them to User Groups
  • create Access Levels
  • Create Categories, Articles and Menu Items specific to a User Group
  • test ACL front end functionality

The second ACL Manager Webinar will be presented by Sander Potjer, a leader in the Joomla community and the developer of the ACL Manager extension. Core Joomla ACL can be difficult to comprehend and that’s where the ACL Manager comes in! Available in 28 languages, the ACL Manager features tools to help users easily understand and manage Users, User Groups, Permissions and Access Levels. During this one hour webinar, Sander will discuss:

  • Joomla’s core ACL featuresACLManager
  • the ACL Manager’s clickable permissions grid
  • a built-in diagnostic tool to help fix your assets table
  • the ACL Manager’s ability to support any component

We’ve gotten a lot of questions about ACL overtime and these webinars are scheduled so closely together so users can learn about core features and then about that extendability - what’s out there in the community to help go a little further. If you’re interested in the content, but cannot attend, we always record our webinars and post copies of each to our YouTube channel under the Special Joomla Webinars Playlist.
