This problem started with me needing to add a module to my frontpage so only guests will see it, after they login the module disappears. So I read this tutorial :
Basically says to do this..
Create a Guest Group in the User Manager
Add a new Guest Viewing Access Level
Change the default guest group in the User Manager options
And it works! But the problem now is when I login with my administrator account on admin panel, i get only 3 icons from Zoo component, no admin bar menu, nothing! And if try to login to the admin panel with a default user account I get the same thing! I´m now in the joomla database to try and see if I can delete the user group I created before and maybe it works?
I cannot lose the content of the website, it´s important! Please help. I´m the latest version of joomla.
Thanks very much
Backup your files and database and set your website in offline mode: edit your configuration.php file and set:
public $offline = '1';
After that, you can try your solution.

I am trying to access my localhost version of the Joomla Administrator, however each time I navigate to the administrator directory, my Joomla website index page loads instead?
I suspect the htaccess file may be the issue but not 100%?
Any ideas?
Cheers
Ok seeing as you have some protection plugin which re-directs the user from the admin panel if they try and access the page, you won't be able to to either.
And seeing as you can't login to disable it, you will have to do it manually via PhpMyAdmin. Follow these instructions:
Enter PhpMyAdmin
Open the table called jos_extensions (jos is the prefix which may be different for you)
Find the protection extension you have installed which is causing the redirect and go to edit it.
You will find a column called enabled. You need to change the value from 1 to 0
You should then be able to login to the Joomla admin panel
Hope this helps
I am using Liferay 6.1. I needed a persistance folder where registrated users could upload images by articles in my personal page. The guest user could access to all articles in data base.
I created a folder from "Documents and Multimedia" from portal's Liferay and I can store and load datas without problems in this folder, but the guest user cannot view images' article.
I try change permissions from portal's Liferay from folder's permission, and in all checks of guest user, only are enabled two, "view" and "access", the two checks are checked but the guest user cannot see it.
page referer: http://pachonweb.no-ip.org
You can try create a account and try create a article with images uploaded.
If uyou need more information about my system, say me it.
Thanks in advance.
solve, the problem was in the portal's permissions. I added to guest user permissions to Document Library Visor and after click in the new link in the new row in the table and here check all checkbox.
My client has Joomla! ver 1.5.14 installed on the remote server. I logged in using the url /administrator/ with login 'admin'. When landed on the admin page after successful login, I observed that the top menu has only two elements, Site and Help. All other elements like Menus, Content, Components, Extensions etc are not there.
Also I do not find any way to access those elements (menus, components). There are not icons on the screen to access them.
Could someone please help me figure out this issue?
Thanks in advance

MulC
EDIT:
Following is the screenshot of the admin page

user admin belogs to the group 'Super Administrator'
Thank you
It's very strange that this should happen unless your client has been fiddling with the core Joomla files or database tables.
Update the site to the latest version of the 1.5 series (1.5.26)
Download the full Joomla package, extract the administrator, components, includes, libraries, modules and plugins folder, zip them up and upload to the server, replacing the current folder. Not to worry, this will only override the core files which I assume haven't been edited.
Try downloading and installing another admin template.
Else the only other thing I can think of is reconstructing the website which might take a while, depending on the amount of work that went into it.
In Joomla! 1.5.x a common security step was to create an alternate "super user" and downgrade the default admin account to a standard registered. Due to issues in early versions of 1.5 though it wasn't recommended to delete or disable this account.
This sounds like what is going on with your admin account.
You can check this by looking at the database checking the table jos_users look for the username admin and see what it's usertype is set to. At the same time look for a user that has an usertype of Super Administrator (yes, really the words Super Administrator).
Once you have the username of the Super Administrator, you will need to find the password. If the client doesn't know it then you will have to recover the admin password.
I'm building a component for the backend. I don't want the users who will access it to access ANYTHING else in the backend except for this component.
I tried following these two instructions:
http://www.aclmanager.net/blog/general/31-how-to-add-basic-acl-support-to-your-extension
http://docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Model-View-Controller_%28MVC%29_Component_for_Joomla!1.6_-_Part_14#Describing_the_ACL
I made a new User Group with a parent of public and allow admin login (which would lock them out of everything) and then tried adding the ACL code from those links above with permissions to create and edit but I just get a blank screen (not even a logout link). The "Debug Permissions Report" showed the correct permissions but nothing's showing up.
Any ideas? My next step is to manually go through every component and not allow access to that new User Group but it seems like there's an easier way.
Thanks!
In Joomla! 2.5 we regularly create "Content" only backend users that have access only to the 'com_content' component.
Going back through our steps the only thing you haven't specified is adding the new user group to a View Access Level. If you're using the standard sample content installed when setting up a Joomla! website you can add your new user group to the "Special" view access (although any will do).
If a new group has 'admin login' privileges it can login but without a View Access level it can't see anything.. it's a subtle difference but it's the way Joomla! works.
I create some backend menu in joomla administrator like (Manager, admin, Super admin, agent).
First three are inbuilt and agent is custom. I want to give some particular menu permission to agent. so please tell me in database which tables having menu permission to particular user. so i can set the permission. Provide me tables name in Joomla database......
If you need a solution before 1.6 is stable, you can use any number of ACL extensions -

JoomlaPraise also has a nice admin template that allows for menu viewing customization called AdminPraise2 that would also do what you need.
