I am using joomla 1.5. For my website, I want to create custom groups in backend and assign user to that group so that they get access to only some part of sections in administrator.
I have created a new group as "Account Department" under "Manager" group of "Public Back-end". But when I assign any user to "Account Department" group that user is unable to login into the administrator. I want to create multiple such groups having different backend access.
Please suggest the solution for the same ASAP. Thanks
You didn't say how you added a group, but there is a lot more to it than just adding a row in the table. The whole point of 1.6-2.5 was ACL, if you can't migrate find a 1.5 extensio that provides acl, there were at least 4-5 available.

The new Cloud Identity Groups API is great - now our customers can pick from their groups without needing admin roles.
However they need to know the customer ID, which afaik can only be found in the control panel.
The Admin SDK allows us to use "...the alias my_customer to represent your account's customerId..."

Please can we have the same for the new API?
You can find the customer ID using the organizations.list API without needing admin roles. It's the directoryCustomerId field.
I'm developing a Joomla 3 website, where registered users can belong to several groups of interests (music, theater, technology, and so on).
I would like to give permission to my client to edit users by placing them in groups he desired. For example: user 1 can be in music and theater group; user 2 just registered (no group) and user 3 in technology group. Unfortunately the only permission that Joomla 3 allows you to edit users is the Administrator, but if I give this permission to my client, he will be able to edit articles, themes and other features that I do not want it to edit.
How can I create an access level that can manage only users list?
Thank you and sorry about my english.
Create a new group, assign that group only permission for managing users and whatever else you want and assign your users to that group but not admin.
As a short answer, if you don't want you client to be administrator, you can assign him to the manager user-group.
Then go into the Users Manager Component and click the Options button to go into its configuration page.
There you can override the Permissions Settings for the Users Manager component, so the Managers users will be allowed to Access Administration Interface of the component.
You will have the change the respective setting from inherit to allowed.
Of course if needed, you can create a complete custom ACL, with special usergroups for your users that will have certain accessibility and permissions.
But be careful, because ACL sometimes can be confusing and you might end up with a total mess.
I am working on the website where by using magento I need to create an account when the user is registered, then I need to give that user permission to add products to my predefined categories. I don't know how this could be done. And I really need help with this.
I think you're looking for a dropshipping extension.
This one is said to be one of the best: http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/magento-vendor-dropshipping-extension.html
There are few of these types of extensions, so a quick google search will show you all of them.
are you referring to a customer on the front-end or an admin user on the back-end?
For an admin user you can limit a admin users permissions by assigning them to a role that can only interact with the catalog module.
I am learning through the Magento theme customization and Module creation steps, i have a question about user roles in Magento
If i have multiple stores in my website, will the admin of one store can access details of another store. And is there any super admin like user role who can view all the stores products?
Thanks
The backend for magento is one so different users with different privilege can enter the same backend for all store...
you can also limit access of user to different features and configurations. Like you can give one user the privilege to see orders and another one to approve invoices.
Plus you can define the scope so that one user can enter certain store values.
The default admin have access to all store all features.
i would like to add this functionality to a Magento store
2 user types
1 = have purchased
2 = have not purchased
the have purchased group has extra tab in user account that might have a variety of things like a free download and/or link to page that only have purchased can access.
Use customer groups for this. Add most users to the default group, and add an event listener to completed orders that changes the user's group. Then only allow access to the page based on the customer's group.
