I am working on a site where I need to restrict certain users so they can only create/edit/publish articles in one article subcategory, or some users should be able to edit multiple categories. I've read a few posts in this forum all of them point to using groups. I setup a group for each subcategory. So far everything looks like this. All editing must be done from the frontend, not the admin area.
parentarticlecategory
-subcategory1
-subcategory2
-subcategory3
groups setup
-registered
--author
---editor
----articlecategorygroup
-----subcategorygroup1
-----subcategorygroup2
-----subcategorygroup3
What I just found out is that when I add a user to subcategory1 and subcategory2 groups they can't publish to either one. If I have them in only one of the two groups they can publish in that single article category without issue.
It seems J! ACL, instead of saying 'user ABC can edit articles in both subcategory1 and subcategory2 since they are in both groups' the logic is 'user ABC cannot edit articles in subcategory1 because they are in subcategorygroup2 which is denied and vice versa'.
