I created a role called "Muted"


I set the permissions so the user cannot comment on anything, just view, and the user who has been set has muted can still add to the newfeeds and other functions.


Why?


PS:


the default role is Registered User...

has this user also got the default user role checked still?
Reese Voarsh May 30 '12
Correct Mark, but this cannot be unchecked. It is the default :(

Ive just tried creating a 'muted' role and the same thing happens here, members with no permission to post comments can still post to the newsfeed


seems like a genuine bug (can someone test on the oxwall demo?)

I just tried something else and unchecked all permissions for my muted group, by rights they should not have any permissions however the user under this user-role can still do everything because they are being overwritten by the standard/default roles

Yes. I see.

What can we do about this Mark?

Shall we report this as a bug?

Michael doesn't seem to be seeing this. Can you PM him - I can't. I'm using my mobile phone. :(

Seems we are all just confused. Check the screenshot attached and make sure you disabled the Allow comments option for Newsfeed.

Grave-Dig


I've even tried to remove all rights from the current standard user role. Yet they can STILL post in the news feed.

Daniel, do you also have two user roles?
